My Top 5 Christmas Advent Calendars

Here are my Top 5 Advent Calendars for this year. I just love Advent Calendars and the count down to Christmas, so I am getting very excited that we are nearly in December! (keep reading to hear how excited I get about some of these advent calendars!)

With Melissa not really knowing what Advent is, or really needing to have chocolate every day, I love the idea of these ones, so that I can either put a little treat in or an activity to do for that day. 

The first one is from a blog called WhipperBerry. I just love this, and she has made this all by her self! It's looks so professional and festive! See how she has done it on the link below the image.

This one is from Not on the Highstreet. Oh I just love love love this! I like how they are little houses. You could dot them around the house, and in the mornings you have to find the right numbered house with your little ones. You could tell them that they are where the little elves live, and every night one of the elves makes a present or an activity for them to open the in the morning. (oh, i'm getting myself so excited)

This one would look lovely as a decoration around the house on one of the walls, that just doubles up as an advent Calendar.

I thought this was really different with it lighting up, I think it would be lovely in the living room at night, it would make the room feel so cosy. Plus again with the elves, you could say that when the lights are on, the elves are in and are busy making a present for the next day.

If you are feeling creative this year, then why not buy one where you can paint and decorate it yourself? This one is from Hobby Craft. Below is a picture of how you can decorate it. If your little one is older then you could let them decorate it.

Autumn Walks

Autumn is very much here; it's getting darker a lot earlier, and it's starting to get colder. So, if you are anything like me, you will be starting to scratch your head as to what to do with a very active toddler. She doesn't understand why she used to be able play outside all day long in the summer, and now she can't as much. What I love to do with MeMe, and what she loves to do as well, is to go for a nice long walk, with Tilly, our dog. It's good exercise for me and fresh air for her.

My husbands mother, Aka 'Grannie' bought MeMe a Smart trike for her Birthday, and we have used it so much, it's brilliant! They are so easy to push around, and light too, plus MeMe LOVES sitting in it, and holding on to the handles. She is just a little too young to be able to use the pedals, but it won't be long until I'm chasing her down the street after her!

Where we live, we have a lot of walks around us perfect for pushing prams or the trike. Whilst on a walk, we decided to go into a  field where we could throw a ball for Tilly and MeMe could run around. We  found some puddles for her splash around in, in her wellies, (Peppa Pig ones of course!) as you can see from the pictures she is very much enjoying herself. MeMe loves throwing the ball for Tilly, but she can't throw it very far, and Tilly just looks at MeMe, then at the ball, as in to say "Is that it?" It's so lovely seeing how well they get on; they love each other so much.

What do you get up to, now the days are shorter days? I'd love to know so please leave a comment below, also If you enjoy reading my blogs, please feel free to follow :)
I hope you are having a lovely day.

Happy Halloween!!

Just a quick post today....

Today is Halloween, but unfortunately I have a poorly girl! So we are going to give trick or treating a miss this year, luckily she is still too young to understand what Halloween is, otherwise I would have one very upset little girl. She has enjoyed dressing up around the house as a Pumpkin though. We will probably end up doing a little trick or treat by going round to see her Nanna & Grannie, 

if she is up to it tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a brilliant Halloween!

About Mummy & MeMe

So this is me, and my little Melissa, Aka 'MeMe.'

This Picture pretty much sums up our relationship, full of laughter and silliness! 

Melissa came into our world on June 1st 2013, at a whopping 9lbs 1oz (yes Ouch!) and life hasn't been the same since (in a good way, of course!)

At nearly 17 Months old, her character is starting to really shine through, she makes me laugh every single day. She is at the age now, where she is into absolutely everything; climbing, opening cupboards & drawers, pressing any button she can find & basically getting into mischief wherever possible. So as you can imagine, my house is a tip, but it is to be expected I suppose, and I sleep well at night!

If looking after a toddler isn't challenging enough, we (my husband & I) also have a very daft but totally adorable Cocker Spaniel called Tilly and two Ragdoll Cats, called Jinx & Zeco, so it's a mad house, but  I wouldn't have it any other way.

So that's just a little bit about my family, I hope you enjoyed reading it.

I hope you're having a lovely day!
