A pocket of my life

 Lilly has been so difficult to but for this year, she is getting to the age where a lot of toys aren't her thing any more, she is getting more interested in make up and room decor. I think that we have done well considering and have taken all her ideas into consideration. I am excited but nervous to see what she thinks, I know that she will be grateful for everything but its every parents dream to make Christmas as special as possible. 1. Chad valley Be u colour changing light set - Argos This set includes 2 different lights that you can design yourself.

 It's getting close to the big day now, and I for one am so excited, this year Olivia seems be to taking so much in. I wanted to share with you all what I have gotten for Olivia, her age is a little awkward to buy for but I think that I have a good variety.  I have tried to be as equal as possible with both girls as I believe that it is important for it to be fair. 1. Orchard toy Farmyards heads and tails game  - Amazon This was brought many months ago during Amazon Prime day, I love the idea of having educational games ready for when she is. This seemed like quite a good one for learning the idea of puzzles and also learning the sounds and names of animals from the farm. 2. MerryXGift water doodle mat - Amazon This again was a purchase through Amazon Prime day, Olivia has really gotten into her drawing and scribbling, this will be great to get out so that we can have some mess free drawing time together.

From the 1st of  December the Christmas films go on, me and Lil's are huge fans of these and we spend many evenings and weekends delving into chocolate treats and cuddling up watching them. I thought I would share my top five with you, and i am telling you this isn't an easy choice to pick just 5. 5. Santa Claus the Movie This one is a little sentimental to me, it was one of my Mums favourites, I remember that this was the main one I watched as a child. The film itself is a lovely one and brings the magic of Santa to life, the song at the end always brings me to tears now but it just brings back the magic in me. 4. The Polar Express I think this may be Lilly's favourite as this is normally the first one she asks for, and I must admit that I love it too. Its one of those films that makes you feel warm and cosy and want to enjoy a hot chocolate with them on the train. The music in the films just makes it even more perfect. 3. Santa Claus 1 I love all three in the Santa Claus ...

Another day, another post, today I thought that I would complete the Christmas tag so you can get to know me a little better. Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and I feel like its important for the family too. 1. What is your favourite Christmas film? I am a sucker for anything festive, I love the corny films like 'Nativity', romantics ones like 'Love actually' and 'The Holiday' and the classic ones too but my favourite has to be 'Home alone' it just calls out to me every year and makes me feel really festive.  2. Have you ever had a while Christmas? I don't think that I have experienced a white Christmas, our snow normally comes in mid January to mid February. I do wish that one day we did have a snowy Christmas day. 3. Where do you usually spend your holiday? Normally we spend the morning at home with some family time, opening presents and building them too and later we visit family, last year of course we were home the who...
