Our Engagement Party!!!
I have finally managed to get round to uploading all of the photos from our engagement party! It has been a busy few months since we got engaged in September and it’s already coming up to Christmas!! We managed to fit in our engagement party however and it really was such a lovely occasion. We ended up having two parties in one day which was fun and exhausting to say the least! We struggled to find something that suited everyone as we had to think about family (mine live Durham way and Sie’s are in Newcastle), we had to think about kids and also work around friends. A lot of…

My Top 8 Christmas Decor Hacks
Whilst I do get very excited about the idea of putting up my Christmas decorations, the reality of actually doing it isn’t always as fun. From spending what seems like forever getting everything out of the loft to spending 30+ mins sat sorting out the Christmas tree branches on our artificial tree. Add our now 3 year old in to the mix and putting up our decorations can very quickly go from festive fun to a Christmas catastrophe. There are some things that I do find help make life easier – my décor hacks and whilst some may be very obvious I am going to share my secrets with…

Elf’s Christmas Wish – Gala Theatre
I was offered the opportunity to attend a Christmas show at the Gala Theatre today with my little man called Elf’s Christmas Wish. It is a charming and interactive introduction to theatre which engages the senses and inspires the imagination. It includes original music, movement and puppets and the simple storytelling is perfect for the under 5s to enjoy with their families at Christmas time. I decided that it sounded like a lovely thing to take my 3 year old to and that it would be good to prepare him for when he goes to see a pantomime later this month. The show was in the studio upstairs in the Gala theatre which…

A Magical Enchanted Christmas at Hardwick Hall
***Please note**** Enchanted Christmas is no longer running and the company behind this event closed down. ‘Believe Christmas’ is NOT the same event. Whilst yes it is at the same location with some of the same props it is run by a whole new company. The people running this company did work for the previous company who ran Enchanted Christmas before but this was with a big team, big budget and a lot more resources. Therefore please do not read this review with the idea that the new event will be the same. I cannot give any advice on what the new event will be like, no one can and…

Glamping in style
Anyone who knows me well will know how much I am not a fan of camping/roughing it! I hate bugs, creepy crawlies and I hate being cold. So you can imagine how much I was dreading staying in a wigwam in October! Basically It was my dad’s 50th in June and I struggled to know what to get him that was special. I knew he just wanted to spend time with me and I know he loves camping so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a voucher for us all to go, and put aside my dislike of it (on this one occasion). I thought we would plan…

My Little Model’s London Trip
Myself, My partner and our little guy are all signed up with agencies as a family to do modelling. This is just something I have always done as I was always with agencies from being very small, starting with Pampers Adverts! A lot of people will have opinions on parent’s putting their little one’s with agencies and letting them do modelling. I think most people think that it is a case of pushy parents wanting their child to be a model, so they can be like, my baby is so good looking and he actually does modelling. Although for some parent’s yes this is totally the case, in reality a…
