Gift ideas for a 10 year old girl

Gift ideas for a 10 year old girl | Blogmas

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 would be a great gift as she loves having temporary tattoos during half term and summer holidays and now she can create her own, this was in the 2 for £20 and if you check out my gift ideas for a 2 year old we got an item there too. B&M £12.99

Hermione Pop Funko

This is a little bit of a different one, something that she can collect and grow over the years and update as her taste changes with different characters, I feel that she will really appreciate it. Amazon £9.49

LEGO Friends Space academy

This is her main present and I am so excited to be able to build this with her, Lilly has loved space for as long as I can remember and she has loved LEGO friends for many years too, they are slowly changing the LEGO friends and I believe that this may be ones of the last sets with these characters so it is more of a memory one. Amazon £42.99

I believe that she has a great array of items for her using a good budget for the items too, what sort of things are you children into? and what do you remember getting for Christmas at this age?

Macaroni Cheese | Recipe and Method

I do love a pasta dish and macaroni cheese is such a comfort food for me, its so easy and simple to make, perfect for a busy evening taking only 15-20 minutes to make. Its one that the whole family can get involved in making and Lils quite often take the whisk off me and takes over! The recipe below will serve four people but we always alter depending on who is having it in our household. Ingredients: - 450g Pasta - 1 litre of milk - 100g flour or corn flour - 100g marge - 280g cheese - 1 tea spoon English mustard - salt and pepper for seasoning How to: 1. Cook you pasta as described on the packet then drain 2. Melt the marge then slowly mix in all the flour 3. slowly pour in the milk and mix well until smooth, it will thicken up 4. Add you mustard and mix 5. Mix in your cheese until melted together 6. Add salt and pepper to flavour 7. mix in your pasta with your sauce and serve with garlic bread It really is such a simple yet tasty meal for all the family, both my girls lo

My mental health

I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

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. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
