Festive Toddler Books | Blogmas


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 


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


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 ok to be scared but you can always give it a go. Its about bravery and the differences between people and I personally love it.

£3.28  2-7 years recommendation 


This book is perfect for toddlers and is one that Olivia has already taken a liking too, she has always enjoyed touchy feely books and they are great for sensory reading too. There are a few versions of these that are festive but this is the one that we own. 

£4.50 2-6 years recommendation

These are just 4 of many festive books that we own, I am very excited to share some festive stories with Olivia and Lilly over the next few weeks. What are your favourite festive books for your children?

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1.
