Ollie Had A Haircut!

Just a couple of photos showing my little boy's new hair cut :) He looks such a cutie!

Paint Me A Picture

Yesterday I got out the water colours and Oliver and I did a little painting. Now we don't really do things like this, my mum isn't really a fan of messy play (a little OCD)  and it really rubbed off on me when I had Oliver. But as it was freezing cold outside I thought we'd give it a go.

It started off well apart from Oliver being a little more interested in putting his paint brush in water, but after a little while (probably a few minutes!) he started to instead paint the cars on the newspaper! We packed up after not too long to go and see my sister, but we will give this activity a try again soon.


Has anyone got any ideas for a mama who is quite new to the whole messy play thing? Would be much appreciated!

Christmas Tag

I saw this tag over on They Grow So Quick and as I'm a huge lover of Christmas I thought I'd join in!

1. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

The atmosphere, I love the feeling of everything being so merry, all the family together.

2. What is your favourite make up look for the festive season?

I'm pretty much a smokey eye girl all year through but at Christmas there will be an addition of glitter and red lippy!

3. Real or fake tree?  

Fake tree as the real ones cause so much mess! Plus you can use it again and again :)

4. Giving or receiving presents? 

Everyone does love receiving presents and I won't deny that I do too, but I just love seeing people's reactions to the gifts you buy them, so giving.

5. Do you open your presents in the morning or evening? 

In the morning! First thing when we get up (after the required cup of coffee of course!)

6. Handmade or bought Christmas cards?

My sister makes her own handmade cards and actually sells them, they're brill, so unfortunately if I did make mine by hand they would pale in comparison! So bought!

7. What is your favourite Christmas film?

Elf and The Muppets Christmas Carol

8. What is your favourite Christmas food?

The whole Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings :)

I tag everyone who hasn't already done this! Link me to your posts in the comments section! Hope you're all enjoying the festive build up!
