Christmas Eve Box

Blogmas

A brown parcel under the tree...

Hello, the other day my Best friend Jade and i made Poppy a Christmas eve box.

Both of us had been searching on pinterest for inspiration on how to create the perfect box!

I already had a shoe box in the house, we covered it in brown wrapping paper which we bought in pounland, and I already had christmas name tags, so i cut the pictures out and made them look like postage stamps in the corner of the box.

The "P" sign was from matalan last year (Its actually a Christmas tree decoration). I also bought this gorgeous white and gold string from matalan this year, to tie the box like a parcel, £2.50 for 3 meters.

What a inside the box;

"Frozen" Elsa - pyjamas

Santa sleigh isle of wight book

The snowman DVD

"Polar express" inspired red bell

I hope you enjoyed filling up the parcel with me.

Lots of love

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Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc...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