Hi guys!
Only 2 weeks to go!!
Here is Day 11 of Blogmas and this year’s new tree decorations.
My Mum got us the top two, in our red, gold and green theme.
The others I’ve bought.
Have you bought new Christmas decorations this year? What did you get?
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
Welcome to day 10 of Blogmas! 15 days to go!
Here are some of the new Christmas decorations I have bought this year 😊
Christmas lights ✨️
I love these retro style lights, the colours, the shape are so nostalgic from my childhood.
I love a coloured Christmas light.
This set of three lights us trees were so reasonable and I love how pretty and effective they are.
Our theme is a traditional vibe so I went for the red and gold ones.
I also picked up these twi cute little window lights. These are probably one of my fave are purchases. Also from Aldi.
I had to get this tradional style standing Santa as he just looks so jolly.
Perfect for our traditional theme.
And also got us some new bedding 🛌
I got us the one pictured above which is festive Guinea Pig bedding as well as a cute Capybara festive bedding. Love it.
And finally, I have bought some new baubles for our tree. I picked these up from Flying Tiger. I love to buy a couple of new baubles each year (which is probably a bad idea as we have loads haha)
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
Welcome to Blogmas Day Nine.
Me and my husband took our nephews and niece to see a new Christmas film, recently released in the cinema – Christmas Karma.
It’s got lots of famous faces you’ll recognise, some catchy songs, a story you’ll recognise (but with a fun, interesting twist on the classic) A Christmas Carol, and a lovely message.
I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would go back and watch it again, I’m hoping my sister will want to go haha.
I always love it when we have a new christmas film to watch during the festive period and in the last few years there have been some brilliant ones.
Mine is probably ‘Last Christmas’ from 2019.
16 Days until Christmas!
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
Hi guys 👋🏻
Happy Monday!
I had a thoroughly festive weekend that was rounded off yesterday with a delicious roast for lunch with my friend.
We met up for a last meet up before Christmas and to exchange our Christmas presents/cards with each other.
We went for a proper, traditional Sunday lunch at a lovely pub. It was so cosy and festive in there and the food was delicious.
We both went for the turkey roast dinner that came with Pigs in Blankets. I also got some Cauliflower cheese. The turkey and the pig in blanket was my favourite part but it was all really tasty.
For dessert I went for the Chocolate Fondant served with white chocolate ice cream and crumbled shortbread biscuit. I love a chocolate dessert and this really hit the spot.
We had a lovely time, a great pre Christmas catch up with some tasty food. A great way to round off a fun, festive weekend.
Did you get up to anything festive this weekend?
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
Week one of Blogmas, ✔️
I hope you are enjoying it so far!
Today I thought I’d share our recent annual Christmas Quiz that me and my husband attended, for our running group.
Everyone was super festive in their Christmas jumpers!
Some of the Christmas rounds included festive food and drink, Pantomimes, a Christmas adverts rounds, a festive music round and a true or false round.
It was a really fun quiz and we came second…. BY ONE POINT!!!!!!! Unbelievable (and quite infuriating haha) ah well, there’s always next time.
Have you been to a festive quiz this year? I think themed quizzes are definitely my favourite (especially Christmas ones!! 🎄)
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
We are almost a week into Blogmas! I had a nice little festive start to the weekend today with my youngest nephew. He stayed for a sleepover and then we headed to the Christmas Tree Festival this morning.
🎄
On the way we grabbed a festive hot chocolate.
The Christmas trees have all been decorated by local businesses, groups, schools etc and have their own little theme .
It was so lovely and magical ✨️
Such a fun little festive activity ✨️
What festive activities are you up to this weekend?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
Hi guys 👋🏻
Every year since they were born I have created Christmas Eve boxes for my nephews and niece, and its one of my favourite traditions 😊
It’s just a little christmassy box of goodies to enjoy on the eve of Christmas and I’ve included different things over the years!
Here’s what I will be including this year for KS2 aged children (why do they grow up so quickly 😭) its super fun getting things you know they’ll like.
I have included Prices and shops where possible.
Let’s take a look!
Hopefully they’ll enjoy these fun little bits and bob’s.

Hi guys 👋🏻
I love Christmas lights so when my mother in law invited us along to our local light trail with herself and some of her friends, how could we say no!
And it was brilliant.
We actually went to this display last year for its inaugural year but it was in a different park in my hometown and it was very expensive. This year the trail was set up in a different park and the layout of the park worked much better for this event. It had a more natural trail with paths as apposed to last year when the lights were in big open areas, which wasn’t quite as effective. They have also made it much more affordable which is great!
There were loads more lights, lovely atmospheric music and smoke to add to the magical vibe. There was also a nice little food court in the middle which served delicious hot chocolates. My mint one was so yummy I had two 😋 🤣
I also liked that you could go around the trail more than once, so we did!
The only annoying thing was the torrential rain haha – not ideal! But it was so wet you kinda just had to get on with it by the end haha. It was still a lovely, festive evening.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the trail!

I love Autumn, its a beautiful season.
I normally do a winter photo post and I thought why not do one for Autumn, this year.
I’m always snapping photos of all sorts of autumnal goodness from pumpkins, crispy leaves and Autumn trees…so, here are some of my photos.
Let’s take a look 🎃
