Halloween books we love | 4 year old

Halloween is fast approaching and I love changing the books up to fit the vibe of the seasons, we have a range of Halloweeny books to read but these are the fond favourites this year for Olivia. 

1. The dinosaur that pooped Halloween is her most read so far this year, this is a new edition with it only being released this year but it's such a funny story and one that makes Olivia laugh and join in too. The flaps in the story make it more engaging for Olivia too and she is so keen to open them to continue the story.

2. Peppa's Magical Halloween is one that we have had for a couple of years now and one that she picks out often. It's fun and full of Peppa charm along with the humour the older ones can understand. It's one of the longer books that we have in our collection but it makes her really excited for Halloween.

3. Room on the broom, who doesn't love a Julia Donaldson. We have many in our collection and I try to gravitate to this one during October just for the cosy vibes, I love that it's rhyming and that Olivia is now remembering the story to help read it. It's honestly one I can read over and over.

4. Lastly we have another new edition to our collection, we're going on a pumpkin hunt. This story goes along with the famous story I think we all know except its all around Halloween and the fun that it brings. The rhymes are pretty good and the story is such a sweet one, I would highly recommend. 

These are just 4 of many books we have but I just wanted to share the firm favourites and ones that I believe a lot of others will enjoy. I would love to know what your little ones favourite Halloween books are.

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. 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 pass...
