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. We have used quite a few products from Old El Paso before but we were sent the following items to review, the majority of which I have not tried before: crispy chicken mix chilli seasoning mix wholewheat tortilla wraps corn tortilla wraps squeezy soured cream squeezy red jalapeno relish We hadn’t had fajitas for a …
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!). I’m not sure who will be reading today as I should hope you are spending time with your families too, but I would just like to wish all of my readers a very merry Christmas and I hope Santa has been good to you! See you in a few days!
Elf on the Shelf adventures (days 17-24)
So this is the final week that buddy has enjoyed with us. It’s been quite hard finding different things for him to every day as we just don’t have the time, I don’t know how other people do it!

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 …
Inside our Christmas Eve bags
Making up a Christmas Eve bag was a tradition which we started last year. Many people have boxes but I bought some lovely small sacks from Bump n Babe with the boys names on, which are great to double up as Santa sacks too. J wasn’t too fussed last year and stopped as soon he found the edible things, but I’m hoping he’ll be more interested this year! Obviously N won’t have a clue though, but I’m sure J will help him. Buddy will be bringing them this year, for his final gift before he heads back to the North Pole. So what’s …
