Christmas for me, and for us as a family, is all about traditions. About time spent together and about the festive feeling that it brings. Of course I love Christmas day but for me the best part is what we call ‘Christmas time’ which just gives me all the feels. We don’t go overboard on presents and prefer to have a few experiences thoughout the month. To make sure that the girls remember all the ordinary moments that make our Christmas ours.
Last year for the first time I wrote a Family Summer Bucket List, we wrote it out with little pictures to hang in the playroom and ticked off when we did the most exciting and the most ordinary of things and it was just lovely. This year I wasn’t planning on doing the same as we would have been away but as those plans have changed I feel like this is more important than ever!

When I threw the girls a sports day themed un-birthday party in the summer I thought I had hit the jackpot. It was fun, easy to organise, inexpensive, inclusive, and around about a time when nothing much is going on (other than normal busy family life that is!) It was basically just really enjoyable for me which, let’s be honest, is the premise of lots of party planning….second to the child’s enjoyments obviously.
