Lilly has been a busy bee learning to stay dry with these products. Lilly is now prettu much dry during the day and has beem for about a week now. The two main products that have helped are the toilet seat pictured above, unsure of name as was given to up, and the dry like me pads. The toilet seat has been the main help to her becoming dry and has really given her the confidence and the want to use the toilet as she can be completely independant when going. It is easy to store and clean and is brightly coloured for toddler to relate to. The second product is the 'Dry like me' pads. These are disposable pads which you put into yoyr child pants either in the front or back or both and it gives the child a bit of protrction from accidents and can help children learn when they are about to go. Lilly loves these and they save the outifts when accidents happen (which they do). The last thing I will mention is that a sticker chart really helped in the first coup...

Hope all of you had a brilliant Valentine's day. I just had a quite one in with my hubby to be :)  On Friday we watched a film together with a pizza and garlic bread and exchanged presents a few hours early lol. We watched American Pie the reunion which was actually pretty good. I got a beautiful card and a midnight Jasmine Yankee candle as a present, which smells amazing and looks perfect on my bedside table. I was surprised that he got this for me but her knows me too well lol. So for Valentine's dinner we made homemade bolognese with garlic bread and cheese. It wasn't the best but we both ate it. We also watched the voice together and he ran me a nice bath with our hohomemade bath bombs (blog post soon). It was a nice quiet day together and a lovely evening. I hope you all had a fantastic Valentines weather you are with someone or single. xXx

Yesterday was the first snowfall our town has seen in two years, and even though it was bearly a covering we went out to enjoy it.  Nothing better than a little trip 's snowing to enjoy what doesn't happen very often. The ssnow only lasted about an hour at most but we wrapped ourselves up, Lilly in here (12-18 month) snowsuit, hat and gloves and me in my coat and gloves to walk to the village. Lilly ababsolutely loved it, making footprints and making small snow balls to throw at Mummy. She also loved the idea of when we got home warming up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows. We can certainly say we enjoyed the snow while it lasted and didnt get too cold. Just wish it was a little more and that Liam was home to have enjoyed it too.  How much snow, if any did you all get? Hope you enjoyed it. xXx

The best Christmas in a long time! Didn't end as planned but the rest of the day was brilliant. Food, presents, family and laughs.  Lilly was completely in her element with it all and I thinks little overwhelmed with the amount of new toys she received. So much to take in for her.  So we started off Christmas day with our traditional breakfasts, apart from my other half wasn't up for a fry up. So I had my boiling bacon with pickles, Lilly had Christmas tree crumpets with jam and a smoothie. This rocking horse was from Grandma and Grandad, it makes noises and moves it's mouth, Lilly now has a rocking horse at each grandparents house. We started off Christmas dinner with a homemade prawn cocktail which tasted amazing. All sat down to Christmas dinner, was so tasty but too much was made as usual, so much leftover meat and veg. Lilly wasn't too impressed with the food choice. That evening we went to great Grandma and great G...

Our Christmas Eve was perfect! So busy with getting last minute bits, baking and even seeing Santa fly over. By the time Lilly went to bed I was feeling more festive than I had all month. We had done so much and were ready for the next few days!  Here are a few pictures of our day. Lilly was really enjoying the cbeebies app with the advent calender,  So many easy Christmasy games for her to play.  This year we made some gingerbread for Santa along with a homemade mince pie. He also had a glass of sherry and some special reindeer food. Lilly also wanted to put a blanket out for him to be 'cosy' Santa came and left lots of treats for us, didnt realise how much we actually had lol. But made it look more special.  Lilly was exhausted by the end. Even though she was excited she slept like a log. Christmas day blog to follow!  xXx

Happy new year, I hope that 2015 brings you all that you wish for! I am excited to say that we have a lot of plans this year I really hope that it is better than the end of last year!

I know it's a few days after Halloween but I wanted to share with you what we got up to. We had a fantastic day with lots of different activities to keep Lilly busy.  Firstly we went to Tesco where we got Lilly's face painted as a pumpkin for charity and got a photo taken to. So lots of memories. She sat so still when having her face done, she was amazing. I did Lilly a little Halloween bucket with a few bits in. We had a Peppa pig Halloween sticker book, so biscuits to decorate, so chocolate, and some orange paint for our handprint spider. Lilly decorated her pumpkin biscuit with icing and sugar balls. I helped with the icing but she loved putting the sugar balls onnto the icing. Lilly loves doing handprints so thought I would tie it in with Halloween and made a spider out of them. It's not the best but Lilly enjoyed it and made a lovely mess. Bless her. Lastly we finished off with pumpkin carving. Lilly helped scooped out the...
