I'm not usually a fan of the 'Something I want, Something I need' style wishlists but this year is a little bit different so I'm not only changing my opinion but I'm actually sharing a downloadable version for you...In case you don't know what kind of list I mean, it's the style where your child gets to choose 'Something I need, something I want, something to read, something to wear and one thing I'd love'. The idea is that all being well, you'd only buy five gifts for your kids for Christmas.I've been pretty vocal in the past about how much I dislike this style of wishlist - I … [Read more...]
No Bake Gingerbread Fudge Recipe….
This recipe for no bake Gingerbread Fudge Recipe is just amazing! It's perfect for a sweet treat but makes a great homemade gift too!After the success of my peanut butter fudge a couple of weeks ago, I decided to use the random tin of condensed milk that I had left in the cupboard to experiment with a fudge recipe using my homemade apple pie spice mix.

How to make a homemade Gift Hamper on a Budget…
About this time pretty much every year, I share some ideas with you on how to make a gift hamper on a budget because I just feel like homemade gift hampers are just the perfect homemade gift - for Christmas or any other special occasion.A homemade gift hamper is an ideal way to show someone you care because you can personalise it to exactly what you know they'll enjoy.

Peanut Butter fudge recipe….
Oh. My. Days. Peanut Butter Fudge is amazing - how have I never tried it before? I bought a couple of cans of condensed milk ages ago ready to make some of my famous (in my own head) Nutella Fudge to take into work but for obvious hygiene reasons at the moment, taking homemade food into work at the moment is kind of frowned upon so they've just been sitting there in my cupboard gathering dust. This weekend, I decided to put the condensed milk to good use and have a play with some different flavours of fudge - the first one being a peanut butter fudge. I did think I had a … [Read more...]

How to Say No to Christmas Invitations (Without Feeling Guilty)….
Christmas is such a lovely time of year, but it can also be one of the busiest. The closer we get to December, the faster the invites seem to roll in. Work parties, drinks with different friend groups, meals out, family gatherings, a quick catch-up that somehow turns into a full evening… it all adds up. Some of these things I genuinely look forward to, but others? Not so much.In the past, I’ve pretty much said yes to everything because I didn’t want to offend anyone or seem anti-social. I’d accept the invite and show up, even when I was exhausted or completely overwhelmed (which, … [Read more...]
