A pocket of my life

I think December 2024 has been the busiest month of my life, along with moving, working and Christmas all taking up time, I am glad for the little best of quiet before going back to work next week. December started off with us moving house , this has been the craziest thing ever and it still doesn't feel real that we have moved and won't be going back to the flat ever again. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't wait to move but I will miss the view from the flat and it makes me emotional thinking about all the memories we have made together there. I have also been trying to keep it as normal as possible for the kids so we took a trip to a festive day at our local shopping centre, they had a merry-go-round, hook a duck, candy floss and Sanea reading stories. We also managed to visit Santa properly the week after which Olivia loved.  In the middle of the month we took a trip to Sheffield park for The Snowman event that they had running, this was a chance to catch up with my Da...

Well December has flown by and what an adventure it has been. There have been highs and lows and memories made. We started off with a slow week or so with school runs, my TA course and decorating for Christmas.  As we got into the month it got things got crazy and very festive, we took our annual trip to Westfield Christmas lights and Lilly's final festive performance at primary school which was emotional. Sadly my Dad also ended up in hospital for the first of 3 visits. School ended and Lils had to sleep overs back to back and then sadly became poorly with a sickness bug which luckily only lasted a couple of days.  Once she was better me and her took a trip to Brighton to see SIX the musical, it was the most amazing show and a night to remember. This was followed by the Christmas train which is an annual festive event, its such a nice family thing we do and really puts you in the mood. Christmas eve came and Liam's Mum came to join us, we baked and watched films. ...

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. Prim...
