I’m a little bit late as I’ve hardly been around since Christmas, or have been busy sorting ‘things’ that we seem to have accumulated a lot of this year! For me, the Christmas period has seemed really long this year. I’m not sure if it’s because we started doing Christmas activities in November or because Buddy came to visit for most of December, but once Christmas & Boxing Day was out of the way, the majority of our decorations came down. I’ve kept all of my signs and our cards up but they’ll come down once New Year has been and gone. Christmas Eve Hubby was …

Review – Old El Paso
Hubby & I both love Mexican food and although I do love cooking from scratch, sometimes it’s nice to be able to just throw something together from a packet when I’m feeling tired or lazy, and especially when it’s from a brand like Old El Paso.

Merry Christmas!
I’m having a break for a few days over Christmas to spend some quality time with my little family, so there are a few scheduled posts (maybe I can get into this routine in the New Year too!).

See you in a few days!

So it’s mainly been a case of hiding him somewhere for J to find. He has still enjoyed it though and gets excited when he finds him. I’m not sure how he’s going to be when Buddy has gone though, I imagine he’ll still look for him for a while! So here’s what Buddy has been up to in his final …
Our Christmas decor
Up until a couple of years ago my Christmas decor included a lot of pink & silver. I used to be obsessed with everything pink but nowadays I’m not so fussed. When J came along and we started getting decorations relating to him and his name, I decided that I wanted to go for a more traditional, ‘collected along the way’, homely look. And now we just have a mish mash of decorations on our tree! Home-made ones, personalised ones, hand-made by other people ones, novelty ones, traditional ones, and a few I’ve kept behind from my last ‘style’. I …
