The past couple of weeks have really flown by, with Christmas and a Baby on the way, my to-do list is seemingly bottomless, and I’ve been snowed under with work. Thankfully, most things have been ticked off so now I can {hopefully} slow down, wait for baby and enjoy December!

I’ve been enjoying this yummy Pomegranate Juice lately, I suddenly seem to have an urge for lots of fruit and juices and this one is delicious and refreshing. The kiddos meanwhile, have been drinking these Daioni milkshakes. Chocolate seems to be the current favourite.

Lola had another award ceremony this week, this time for her volunteering at our local museum – she got to meet the Mayor and got another certificate for her collection!

We started off our Christmas crafting with some fun activities thanks to Eggnog – 3D Christmas ornaments, some colour in paper chains and cards! We all love colouring in, and these sets are fantastic – we have a colour in Santa costume to work on this week too! I love Eggnog sets – if you haven’t seen them, I’d highly recommend them.

The weather is being typically Welsh – i.e very wet! Thankfully, The Buggy Brolly company sent us some new umbrella’s recently, they’ll certainly get used lots living where we do! They also sent me one that fastens onto the pushchair handle – so excited, as in the past I’ve gotten soaked when pushing the babies around – so can’t wait to try it out when Beastie arrives! The girls really love these umbrellas, something about them must be very exciting when you’re 5 or 8!

This gorgeous bag arrived from Izabela Peters this past week. I’ve been looking for a new bag like it for a while, and this one is a great size and seems really durable {perfect for this Mama} PLUS – it’s wipe clean! Something with a baby around, I have a feeling I’ll be very grateful for!

The Gro Store sent this gorgeous sleeping bag across this week for Beastie. I’ve used sleeping bags with all the girls and love the – this one is nice and warm – perfect for my winter baby! I can’t wait for him to arrive – will post a review once he’s here and tested it out ;)

    Oooh sounds like a bit of nesting to me, sorting things out and getting settled. Lovely stuff all round, I do like round ups like this.

    The funny thing is, when I was looking through the photos, I assumed that it was a school thing that Lola’s pic was about. Then I remembered that you homeschool. Your kids get up to such cool things. :)
