Musical Advent - Day 1

I have decided to do something a little different and have a musical advent, each day I will post a song that represents Christmas to me.


It may be a Christmas song, it may be a ballad, it may be a cheesy party song. I thought it would be fun plus everything is manic at the moment with the run up to Christmas. I have post to finish on New Mummy's Tip and some freelance to do before I can relax. I plan to be done by the middle of next week, so I can start wrapping presents and enjoy the run up to Christmas with BG.

My song for Day 1 is on one my favourite Christmas song, I'm not a huge fan of the singer but I can't help loving this song. I have a ban on all Christmas songs until the 1st of December so I have been overdosing today and me and BG have danced around to this quite a lot.


I give you.... All I Want For Christmas is You by Mariah Carey

Stop by tomorrow for Day 2

Celebration - BG's 2nd Birthday!

This weeks Gallery prompt is celebrations, which is perfect at it was BG's 2nd Birthday on Saturday.


We had a open house with people popping in and out. I cooked a huge pot of soup, baked a loaf of bread and roasted a chicken, nice and simple.


And of course made BG a Oh Ah Cake!


BG wasn't really quite sure what was going on but enjoyed spending the day with her family. She got some lovely presents but wasn't spoilt to much.


So here are some of our celebrations....

Friday Song - A BG Special

When BG was very little I used to sit her in her bouncy chair while I did the housework. To keep her entertained I would play music and dance around and sing which made her laugh.

One of the albums I played the most was (I can't believe I'm admitting this) Girls Aloud greatest hits. Her favourite song was Jump, I think because its quite up beat and of course mummy looks really silly jumping up and down.

So in honour of BG who is two tomorrow is Girls Aloud and Jump.


Change of plans, I just found this and it is BG's favourite song at the moment...


The Bing Bong song from Peppa Pig!

Black and White

This weeks Gallery prompt is Black & White. I know that there are going to be some stunning photos this week but to me my picture is very, very special to me...

This is BG's 20 weeks scam and the reason I choose it this week is not just because its an amazing picture of my unborn child but because on Saturday that little blob turns 2!


Yes my little Baby Girl will be two years old and I can't believe it. She is the most amazing thing that has ever happen to me and I'm so grateful that she is here.
