Tis the season to be Jolly...

Mummy's favourite!

So, the advent calendars are open and Christmas time is officially upon us. Although the stores have been trying to win me over since Halloween; now that it's officially here I've decided to well and truly embrace the festivities. 

It's only two days in and we've taken the little man to two Grottoes and a Christmas Fair. The tree is up and we've started work on a home made Christmas snow globe!

 I'm also feeling a tiny bit smug about the fact that I'm three quarters of the way through the Christmas shopping. If you're not in the Christmas spirit yet, I hope our Grotto snaps below will help get you in the mood.

So, the October half term decided to, very helpfully, fall the very week before I got paid.  It was my week off with the little man and I was keen to make it a fun one; though we were on a budget.  One of our most memorable days out during the holidays was also one of the cheapest, I kid you not, and the little man still hasn’t stopped talking about it. We had an actual full day of fun family adventure for under £20! Our journey started at the Albert dock ferry terminal where we bought our tickets and were pleasantly surprised to find out that Mersey Travel were running a half term promotion. Three attractions for the price of one: Ferry ride, Spaceport and the U-boat Story. We hopped aboard the ferry and sat outside on the top deck to listen to some fascinating facts about Liverpool. Our first port of call was Seacombe Ferry Terminal for Spaceport . Spaceport was a two minute walk from the terminal and the helpful signs led the way. Once inside

Time to banish the mum pouch!

Sorry, I'm sure my pictures are TMI for some of you - it’s certainly too much for me every time I look in the mirror - but public shaming is necessary here folks because my mum pouch (or that saggy flap of skin below my naval) is the bane of my existence.  I suspect people think I’m a bit of a narcissist when I mention the mum pouch but this is because I’ve become an expert at hiding it. High waist jeans and granny knickers are a god a send - the pouch can simply be tucked in and concealed - but I’m the one who has to look in the mirror every morning knowing that I’m not happy with what I see. Weight and shape are two entirely different things and whilst I like what the scales show me, my current shape is similar to that of a deflated balloon. It’s not like I haven’t tried either. I stayed active throughout my pregnancy and regular swimming, cycling and running sessions have helped me to shake of most of the baby weight but this belly won’t budge! I’ve been for
