8 Reasons A Christmas Pregnancy is the Best

December 18, 2017

This time last year I was pregnant.  Twenty-nine weeks by Christmas Day, to be precise, so I’d hit the third trimester and was well and truly blooming.  Now I’m as far away from being pregnant for as long as I was pregnant for, I’ve donned […]

12 Festive Ways To Celebrate Baby’s First Christmas

December 7, 2017

I’ve been a big fan of Christmas for as long as I can remember; ever since I was little I’ve started listening to Christmas music in September and I used to play ‘Christmas tv’ with my sister (we so would have owned Youtube had it been around […]

Baby’s First Christmas | A Personalised Nativity Scene

I love Christmas!  I’m one of those apparently annoying people who starts playing Christmas music in September and I get planning the festivities before the sun’s even dried up the leaves on the trees.  This year I’m beyond excited because it’s Reuben’s first Christmas.  He’s going […]

Cosy Christmas Pyjamas | The Nightwear Edit

December 4, 2015

Christmas is our ultimate holiday, and while the festivities are a luxuriated given, one of the best things of the season is inarguably the endless duvet day opportunities.  Wrapped beneath a blanket with a hot chocolate in hand, nothing quite beats the indulgence of a guilt-free chill out. Cosy, comfy pyjamas were just […]

I Want a Wedding For Christmas

November 6, 2015

Weddings are romantic, exciting and a good excuse for a party, but next to house moving, getting married is also high up there on the list of life’s most stressful events.  So really, deciding to put a wedding on the cards before Christmas would be quite ludicrous.  And […]

Lonely This Christmas And No Comfort & Joy

December 16, 2014

Christmas comes but once a year – and thank heavens for that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a festive fanatic!  I love all the commercialism and ceremony that Christmas is; the music (I play too early), the baking (even earlier) and the mesmeric delight in driving […]

A Berry Betty Christmas | Lingerie Shoot

December 13, 2013

Christmas Day in less than a fortnight?!  Very unlike my usual organised self, I am less than ready for the big day with so many presents yet to buy I’m feeling palpitations just realising it.  I’ve been spending far too much time dithering over lingerie […]

Shaun the Sheep ‘Find the Flock’ trail at was Shaun the Sheep ‘Find the Flock’ trail at was fun! 🐑 

Did this back in December in the run up to Christmas, when we went to Belsay Hall in Northumberland. There’s still time to do it if you haven’t, as the awesome sheepies are there til the 26th January 2026. It’s a really nice walk around Belsay’s gardens so worth a visit.

So which do you think looks the best one?  I love the gingerbread Shaun and the gardener Shaun because it has some lovely little bugs all over him. 🐞

2026 is here ✨ This wasn’t today though. Thi 2026 is here ✨ 

This wasn’t today though. This was the last day of 2025 (yesterday) but it was just as cold. It was a frosty day and we ended up playing with the ice in the frozen ponds at Fountains Abbey. Just breaking it up, smashing it through with twigs and releasing air bubbles. Didn’t actually see the abbey. Just played with ice. Most unexpected fun ever. 😄

This was the week before Christmas when we went up to the Northern Sinfonia concert and made a visit to Fenwick’s Christmas window display. This year’s theme was A Christmas Carol which was really well done. I loved the scene where Scrooge is being flown over the town by the ghost of yet to come. And we spotted our own living room fireplace tiling surround in the Crachit household. 😂

Sometimes Christmas is a strange old one. I’d be Sometimes Christmas is a strange old one. I’d been reflecting on how this time ten years ago we were facing Dad’s last Christmas. And here we were, facing another abnormal Christmas with Mum being hospitalised. It’s hard doing the festivities when all is not well with the folks. Thankfully we were still at least able to go see Mum on her ward so we took her presents in to her. A few hours later we were on to my sister’s house. We opened presents, ate yummy festive food and wished Mum was home. Despite all this, Reuben was glad to see his cousins. It wasn’t normal but Christmas was had. 🎄
