So here I am trying out blogmas. I do vlogmas over on my YouTube and would love to grow my blog too so I will be blogging every other day on here and hopefully I don't miss a day. I hope that you enjoy my content over the next 25 days leading up to the big day and would love you to give me a comment below on any. We have a tradition in our house now which is to make our annual Christmas cake, its something that is important to me, to make memories with the children and teach them how to cook some yummy Christmas treats, something that they can pass on if they have families of there own. This Christmas cake is a 6 inch round cake which works for our family as its just me and Lilly that eats it so far. I love the decorating of the cake too, this is the main part that Lilly loves as she gets some of the leftover icing and marzipan. I'm not going to lie, its not the easiest bake but its well worth it if you like Christmas cake, and its rewarding when its done. My Recipe...

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.

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.
