Gift ideas for a 2 year old

Gift ideas for a 2 year old | Blogmas

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. Primark £8.00

Wooden building blocks

These blocks were in the 2 for £20 offer and when searching through we thought that these would be great for Olivia, she loves building up and knocking things down and these could also tie in with role play too. B&M £12.99

wooden pizza

This is one of my favourite items and I think Olivia will really enjoy this, the pizza comes with different toppings for Olivia to add, a slice to cut and serve and a board too. This will be great to add to her wooden food collection. Aldi £8.99

Fisher-price Little people house

This is Olivia's main present and I think she is going to love it, she has been getting into playing with her little people collection with her sister. This has so many parts too it and I believe that it will be great for her to learn from too. Amazon £32.99

I am so excited for Christmas this year with Olivia as I believe that this will be the first year that she is aware of the day of Christmas, I can't wait for her to open her gifts and get excited with it all. I hope this has given you some ideas for you little ones.

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.

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.
