An Alternative Advent Calendar

by 6 Comments

Advent books

Alternative Advent calendars are becoming more popular at Christmas time. This simple idea of wrapping books to read before bedtime is an absolute must for any parent wishing to avoid the sugar hit that modern advent calendars have introduced.

A few years ago i blogged about a book advent calendar which I had made for my Daughter’s first Christmas.
A few special Christmas’s on and we are over the baby books and have replaced them for Christmas books that are more suitable for her age range. I have also gained two beautiful God Daughters and have wrapped books for them too this year. I hope they will keep them and read them for many years to come. read more

Back To School – A New Term

For most parents the beginning of a new term can be an expensive venture. With children needing a full winter uniform, shoes, bags and PE kits, not to mention trainers and stationary.
Lucky for me my four year old is just starting reception so i can cross a few of those items off of the list as not needed for now. I can see it being a real financial struggle for larger families and many seek the help of finance companies such as Ocean finance company.

Olivia has a few weeks to go but seeing as we live a fair distance from our local shopping center we have been shopping to stock up on the essentials that we need to get her off to an organised start. read more

How do you like this cute little design for Valentines day?

I have spent the winter nights putting together some quirky, seasonal designs for my Daughters playroom and wanted to produce a versatile print/occasion card for February the 14th.

My printable looks fantastic on a plain piece of card or even displayed in simple white frames with boarders.

Go ahead and print out the image below.
I would love to see how you display my creation! Please tag #MMMValentines and share the love.
