Click here for further information and guidelines on this linky if you wish to participate. It’s been a long time since our kids had Christmas trees in their rooms. We once had two miniature fibre optic Christmas trees that the kids had in each of their rooms but they became fire risks and thus are long gone. Having watched both Home Alone 1 and 2 within the space of twenty-four hours, my son had got himself very much into the festive spirit and requested…

Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, which is part of a series that you are very welcome to join. We’ve had a busy month what with the chaos that was the run-up to Christmas and of course, all the events and celebrations that have taken place over the past four or so weeks.

Whilst on a personal level Christmas felt somewhat alien this year, the kids thankfully loved every moment of the day. They especially enjoyed the ‘big unwrap’ which I watched from the kitchen whilst multi-tasking between latticing bacon over a turkey breast and sealing a beef joint.
