Money-Saving Tips When You Have Children

November 25, 2019November 25, 2019Leave a comment

Having children isn't cheap, I think we all know and can agree on that! Over the last 4 years, I have been trying to cut costs where possible, because even once our little ones start school - things don't get much cheaper. Here are a few things that have helped … Continue reading

We’re all so excited for Christmas this year that I just couldn’t help get Christmas bedding 🙊
It’s something I’ve wanted to get for years now but since having children who’re now at the age to understand Christmas - I just couldn’t help myself - especially with finding some Christmassy dinosaurs for Lilly too! 😄

Instagram post 2192137150744838692_6875242291 Big girl car seat 💺
Amelia’s had another growth spurt which means a brand new car seat!
She happily picked out the Minnie Mouse one 🎀 The reviews looked great so that’s what we decided on 👍
Her group 1 car seat goes up to 18kgs, but although Amelia’s only 16kgs, her head now goes past the top of the seat, so we knew it was time to move her up to a group 2-3 seat. Her new seat can be used from  9kgs until approximately 12 years 😧 the harness can be removed for when she’s ready to use just a seat belt and it has a fully adjustable headrest. It won’t be long until Lilly needs a new car seat either 🤭

Instagram post 2190230827027520727_6875242291 First ever bouncy castle 🏰
Since Amelia had her surgery, we’ve always been SO wary of anything like bouncy castles or trampolines!
Some parents are told they’re a big no-no, but we were told that Amelia can go on them. Last weekend she experienced a bouncy castle for the first time at her friend’s birthday party and (touch wood) her hip is fine 🤞
Both girls had so much fun, even if I was slightly scared and worried 😟

Our future artist has been busy painting a picture for her great-grandads birthday next week 🎂
Highly recommend paint sticks for anyone who fears mess when it comes to children being creative! We also use our “messy mat” from the Early Learning Centre to protect the table too - it comes in SO handy to protect the floor when using play-doh too 👍

#AD We’re all tuckered out after a brilliant day riding the steam trains along the Severn Valley Railway today! The girls have thoroughly enjoyed hearing stories about when I visited with my dad when I was a little girl too ☺️
Being able to hop on and off along the railway line has huge perks - we visited The Engine House in Highley where we had chance to see the trains up close and the girls completed a giant puzzle 🚂
After some food, we travelled to Bridgnorth and had a look around 👍
Lilly and I watched the train having the coal and water refilled before heading back!
Visiting the Severn Valley Railway has been such a fun family day out even with the weather not being the best!

Instagram post 2178340517301358148_6875242291 Is it Christmas yet? 🎄🤭
After picking a few bits up from the @festivegiftfair yesterday, I’m just too impatient to wait to get the Christmas decorations up 😍
We’re not quite ready to put the tree up yet, as we wait until the beginning of December 🎄 but there’s no harm in putting other Festive pieces around the house, is there?!
We love a red, white and silver theme - what colour theme do you go for at Christmas time? ❄️
