*Happy New Year!* We’ve had a quiet Christmas a *Happy New Year!*

We’ve had a quiet Christmas at home, played lots and ate lots! Like many others! Today we are at the start of a brand new year. A year where we will have a 3 and 5 year old on our hands. The toddler days are slipping away from us now - yay!!

We’ve decided not to plan any holidays at all in 2021 and have a saving year. Being at home all the time means it’s so much easier to save!

It might not be the start of the year we all hoped for, but it’s the one we’ve got to work through. We can do it! The virus never stopped me last year from following my dream and working for myself full time!

Wishing you happiness and health in 2021 xx

AD-gifted The girls are huge 44 Cats fans. If you AD-gifted  The girls are huge 44 Cats fans. If you haven’t heard of them 44 Cats its a fun kids  show about 4 kittens. The 44 Cats  are – Lampo, Milady, Meatball and Pilou who make up a musical group called “The Buffycats” The animated series covers topics such as friendship, diversity, tolerance and helping others. It’s a great series we love to watch!

We were kindly sent a few items from the series merchandise. The toy sets, pyjamas and jigsaw puzzle. Which can all be found on Amazon so still time to get for those last minute gifts!

Here we are on the home stretch - the last few day Here we are on the home stretch - the last few days of the Winter term. I’m so proud of this one and how much she has learned since starting school. She’s like a sponge!

Watching her 1st class nativity play via the school app was crushing at the weekend. This stupid virus had denied so many of us. Going to watch her in her first nativity play has always been one of those things I’ve looked forward to since she was born. It was one of those milestones 😥.

However we’ve had a fun and busy weekend. We went to Heligan Gardens for a walk and to write another letter to Santa! Thank goodness the weather was great! That’s the trouble with booking things in advance you don’t know what the weather will be like!

Are you looking forward to the start of the Christmas Holidays?

AD-Gifted Welcome to the world of Cats Vs Pickles AD-Gifted  Welcome to the world of Cats Vs Pickles! How cute are these super soft bean filled plushies with huge personalities. So soft L doesn’t want to put them down and wants to get the whole collection! 

If you have yet to hear about these soft silly characters. Here is the low down. So Cats are scared of Pickles, but Pickles just want to love Cats! Pickles are super rare and we have yet to find one!!

There are 44 Cats ( we got Blank Page, Puzzle Cat and Goldie Fish) and 4 rare Pickles to find in Series 1. You can get Foodie Cats, Scary Cats, Sweet Cats and Smarty Cats like our Blank Page.

Cats Vs Pickles are an insanely popular trend on YouTube!

I think they make the most adorable stocking fillers at £4.99 each available to buy from @smythstoys

We’ve had a fantastic weekend. Finally got to sp We’ve had a fantastic weekend. Finally got to spend time with my sister who has been self isolating for 2 weeks as she returned from Canada. We took a trip to Marazion on Saturday for a walk and hunt for treasures! It was lovely and quiet. In the afternoon we put our tree up. Then yesterday we went for an early morning walk at the park and spent the afternoon writing out Christmas cards!

I love weekends like this. I treasure them more because for around 14 years I worked each Saturday and occasionally Sundays as well. Now I know what I was missing all those years!

Did you get up to anything nice at the weekend?
