Mother care photoshoot with pixi-foto

Poppy's 1st Christmas

Poppy surprise!

A few weeks ago, I went to mother care with my mum to pick out a Christmas day outfit for Poppy. This little trip turned into a 1 hour job as we spotted a mini photo-shoot for babies. Pixi-foto are a family portrait photographers. We had a lovely time and poppy enjoyed it too!

There were 9 themes throughout the shoot. You pay £10 for the shoot with one free print to pick up on your date slot. Unfortunately really disappointed me was that the photographer would not tell me the prices of all the photos (singles, packages etc) ! I had to wait two weeks till I was told, the pictures were lovely and great quality but just for these images were £40 plus my free photo, so all together it cost me £50! Just a little advice, I took the rest of the pictures on my phone (I'll get them developed elsewhere), the assistant was kind enough to let me do this only, i think, because I bought the £40 package. If you didn't buy any then I don't think you would be so lucky. All in all, great quality photos but I wouldn't use them again...if they had told me the prices to begin with i wouldn't have used them in the first place!

I think i will stick to local photographers in future as they are competitive and have great deals around November and December for babies first christmas photo-shoots also great prices too.

Hope you enjoyed the read mummy club

Lots of love

what's in Poppy's Easter basket | 2018 | toddler Easter treats |

Easter goodies for my Toddler

Always another holiday isn't there. I like to make Poppy a box for each special occasion throughout the year; Christmas eve box, Halloween trick or treat bag and Easter is no exception. This Easter i have gone for the more traditional items like my mum used to get us when we were little; books, stickers, chocolate egg, etc... I've not gone as over the the top as I usually do. We are also buying the stuff we know Poppy is really interested in, her favourite characters and bits she can interact with us on as well

The items in the box are not to have in one go, half of this is being used for her Easter egg hunt in the garden. We have gone for the play/learning items this year, she loves books at the moment and we read to her every night. As she enjoys it so much i decided to get her The Gruffalo £5.99 from Waterstones and the Peter rabbit sticker activity book £2 from the Works.

A pack of Bunny crayons £1 from Poundland, Peppa pig play cards £2 fro…

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter

What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy.

*Rooms*

Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc...

Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace

Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc...

Dining room- ( same as above)

Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply so dont throw away b…
