A pocket of my life

This year has been so much harder to find things for Lilly, she is now at the age where she still likes certain toys but is slowly loosing the love of playing with toys per say. She is into Harry Potter which has given us a few options and I am loving that fact that I can find things that will grow with her   Harry Potter doll We have had this for a while now and its something that she can use with her barbies and that she can imagine so many different stories. Amazon £7.49 Harry Potter LEGO Switch game For her 10th birthday she got a switch console and I thought that this would be a great game for her to enjoy, she loves LEGO and Harry Potter so mix them together and you have the perfect mix of a game for her. Amazon £19.99 Disney PJ's  These are just a must for Christmas, some new cosy pajamas which will be well worn, I was intending one getting some Stitch ones but they had sold out the next best were some Disney ones. Primark £8 Airbrush tattoo kit Me and Liam thought that this

Olivia really has gotten into playing lately, with role play and taking everything in, its been amazing to look for different things that I know she will love to play with. She has been pretty easy to buy for unlike her elder sister and I would like to share what we have picked up for her.  Peppa magnet scribbler board This one on of the first things that I picked up, Olivia absolutely loves Peppa pig and loves drawing too, I thought that this would be great in the car or to take out with us to keep her amused. Amazon £8.99 Bath toy I would say Olivia's favourite time of day is bath time, she could spend all day in there if possible, this is something that I think that she will get a lot of enjoyment out of it with lots of different ways the water flows. Amazon £14.99 Disney PJ's Fluffy pajamas are a winner in my book, I love them and so do my girls. These are always great as they get used, I decided to go for Disney pajamas so her and her sister can have similar pj's. Prim

Today I wanted to share some of the books that I will hopefully enjoying with my toddler this year, I have picked four books that I believe are great stories for the little ones to enjoy over the festive period. The Dinosaur that pooped Christmas  This is a great story and a funny one too, it involves dinosaurs and poo which is definitely one way to get the attention of a toddler, we love all the versions of the dinosaur that pooped books and this one hopefully be one that Olivia loves to hear. £4  3-7 years recommendation  The Snowman This story is a classic and one that I cannot wait to share with Olivia, we always watch the film on Christmas eve as its something that I did when I was young. I believe it is so important to keep traditions like that in the family. £6.99 5-11 years recommendation Bella gets her skates on This has been one of my favourite stories to read Lilly over the years and I can't wait to share the adventure with Olivia, this story has a great message that its

I'm not the best are picking items for myself for Christmas, I don't really like money being spent on me as I always want to treat everyone else, but I have come up with a few items that I think maybe helpful for some out there. I have tried to be mindful of budget as this year isn't great for people. Book I do love a good book and I normally put at least one on my list, this years pick is 'Tom Felton Beyond the Wand', I am a huge Harry Potter fan and would love to know more about the actors. Obviously there are many types of books to choose from such as romance, biography's, crime and many books based around TV shows and films.  A great place to find second hand books is the World of Books on eBay. Slippers/Lounge wear Slippers are always a great gift for many as they are things you don't normally buy yourself, they come in so many different styles now so are sure to fit someone you know. If that fails lounge wear is a good one, pajamas or onesies are alway
