<p dir="ltr">Did you get to celebrate father's day? If so what did you do?</p>
<p dir="ltr">We tried to spoil my hubby as much as possible but I think he deserves so much more. We are so lucky & blessed to have him in our lives and love him loads. We did the usual cards and presents etc but I also baked a carrot cake :) & hubby was most pleased with it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Just wanted to wish all of you fathers, step fathers and fathers to be a belated happy father's day. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Love</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lily</p>

Hi all</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm so excited about Christmas 2014 already as my Cody will hopefully be old enough to understand the magic of it a little. I know it's kinda selfish but I have let him watch some of our Disney Mickey Mouse Christmas special DVDs to start to get an idea. He loves them. <br />
We feel like we kinda skipped christmas last year really as I was struggling with my pregnancy and Cody was ill with an ear & chest infection on Christmas Day. We actually ended up at the hospital with him on the day. I hope & pray for a healthier & happier christmas this year. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Do you have any tips on introducing children to the magic of Christmas? I would appreciate </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Hope this finds you well. </div>

Hi all</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tonight we had a few reasons to celebrate, mainly all of us under one roof and in good health. It has been nice to avoid doctors and hospitals and medication for a little while now so my amazing hubby surprised me with a bottle of pink champagne. It was delicious, so delicious that we forgot to take photos. So in return, I baked a "devil's cake". It's basically chocolate cake with chocolate icing. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I know what you are thinking, not very healthy but we hardly do it so it has been a real treat :)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
How did you spend your weekend? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Hope this finds all of you well. </div>

<br />
Hope you all are doing well. Just a quick note to say that I am desperate to start blogging again & should be able to start again soon. I had another baby (a surprise baby) in January. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy followed by some health issues after birth. Thankfully for now we are all healthy and happy and gradually getting back to normal life. You may remember my little boy Cody who is now 2 & my daughter is 4 months old. We named her Collette. She is a delightful little thing.<br />
<br />
I have missed visiting your blogs and contacting all of you & look forward to getting in touch again. So bye for now & "speak" soon,<br />
<br />

A very belated Merry Christmas to you all. Unfortunately I have not been able to blog sooner than this but I sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. How did you all celebrate?</div>

We had a special Christmas this year as it was our baby's first Christmas. He loved unwrapping presents & enjoyed his turkey dinner :) He was spoilt by everyone & received so many presents that was still unwrapping some on the 27th of December! I just wanted to share some photos of our Christmas and Birmingham's Christmas market with you all & say that hope the New Year brings you health & happiness.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It doesn’t take a whole lot of
money to create a beautifully set table for the holidays, just a small amount
of time, a little creativity, and some common household items. There are not
very many of us who can afford to buy a special set of Christmas china and
linens that will only be used one day out of the year, but there are ways to
dress up your ordinary table cloth and everyday dishes in order to make an
elegant and festive presentation for your dinner guests. The easiest way is
with Christmas Napkin holders you make yourself from common items that are
already lying around, like </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.paperstyle.com/is-bin/christmas-cards.html"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Christmas cards</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> and decorations. Put
these around a plain cloth napkin to set on top of each plate, and you instantly
have a festive table. The best part is that children can help with this project
so that you are creating memories at the same time.<br />
<br />
To begin making a Christmas napkin holder you will first need something to use
as the ring itself. Plastic napkin rings can be found in the discount stores at
a fair price, but you really don’t need to invest even that much into this
project. Using the plain card stock from the back of a Christmas card, you can
cut it into one inch strips that can be rolled and glued into a circle. Want to
make it even easier? Cut empty wrapping paper rolls, paper towel rolls, or
toilet paper rolls into one-inch pieces. These can be painted in a holiday
color such as red, green, or even gold and silver. <br />
<br />
Now that you have an actual napkin ring to work with, it is time for the fun
part, decorating it. Here is where you can let your imagination be your guide.
Decide on the type of look you want to achieve. Depending on the decorations
you use, you can make them whimsical or elegant. An ideal place to start is
with old Christmas cards or any extras you still have after sending them to
friends and family. This is a great way to recycle the special Christmas cards
you get. Cut out the main pictures from the front of the Christmas cards and
glue them to the ring. Keep your theme in mind so that they look nicely
coordinated on the table. If you start by cutting out religious scenes,
continue to do so with each napkin holder. Same holds true if you begin with a
cartoonish Santa picture. Make one for each place setting at the holiday table.<br />
<br />
The final touch is to embellish the napkin holders. This can be done by
outlining the edge of the pictures from the </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.paperstyle.com/is-bin/christmas-cards.html"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Christmas cards</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> with glitter. You
could also add ribbons. Curly ribbon, such as used on wrapped gifts, can add to
a whimsical look. Small red velvet ribbons tied in bows are perfect for a more
elegant feel. Glue on items from around the home. This could be small jingle
bells, little pinecones, and sprigs of evergreen. Experiment with the first
napkin holder until you achieve the exact look you are after. Continue to make
the rest look similar. Keep in mind that the slight differences in anything
handmade will simply add to the charm. Most of all…have fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have been desperately looking to buy some Deco Poly Mesh to decorate with for this Halloween & Christmas and have come to the conclusion that I can't get hold of any in this country!!! Can you believe that? I can easily purchase some online from the States but the postage is so beyond expensive (guess as it is heavy). Do any of you know how/where I might get some in the UK please? Maybe over here we have a different name for it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks to those of you who have been asking after my baby boy. He is doing great & is really trying to crawl & enjoying being weaned. We think he will be crawling by Christmas which will completely change/challenge decorating the house this year. Although very exciting at the same time. That was also one of the reasons I wanted poly mesh, to make the bottom of the tree "baby proof". </div>

Can't believe there are less than a 100 days until Christmas. Are you all as excited as I am?</div>

Last weekend, was the first free weekend that we had since the birth of my baby boy. We have been blessed with family and friends visiting but this weekend I actually had time to cook & bake a little. So I made my favourite roast veg, alongside of chicken pie in white wine sauce plus chips. The next day I baked blueberry muffins for breakfast. A weekend full of calories....which I might add I enjoyed, lol ;) So I thought I'll share some photos with you. Also added a couple of photos of my Cody. In the first photo, Cody is modelling the lovely outfit that my sweet friend Mandie, from <a href="http://whisperingchristmasdreams.blogspot.co.uk/">http://whisperingchristmasdreams.blogspot.co.uk/</a> sent along with many many other lovely gifts. Thank you again Mandie :)</div>

My Cody is growing up fast and well, thank you for those of you asking. I really miss blogging but doesn't time fly when you have a little one?! I'm trying to get a bit more organised, specially as it isn't long before all the festivities are upon us. I'm so excited this year specially since we have a little one now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope all is well with you all, wherever you are. </div>

This weekend it was Queen Elizabeth 2nd's diamond jubilee. It has been 60 years since she became the queen of this country. The celebrations have been incredibly nice. The BBC has <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-18324096" style="text-align: center;">Pictures</a> of the celebrations & a short video of <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18324080" style="text-align: center;">Prince Charles</a> paying a tribute to her majesty. There is also a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18325522" style="text-align: center;">main article</a> on the entire weekend if you are interested. Monday & Tuesday were public holiday & we have really enjoyed the time off with family visiting us. My gorgeous baby boy is also 8 weeks old today. Time is flying by fast & I'm looking forward to starting some baby friendly Christmas preparations soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have taken various photos of merchandise in shops to share with you & hope you enjoy them.</div>

<br />
Hope you have all been doing ok. I have been so incredibly busy lately that haven't been able to blog much. I do miss it so much. Baby hasn't arrived yet & I can't wait to meet him. If you also believe in the power of prayers, please pray that all goes smoothly for all of us. <br />
<br />
I have been having painting lessons to learn to paint like Bob Ross. I am huge Bob Ross fan (both his work and his attitude towards life) but had never dared to try to paint like him. I have had 4 lessons & here are the pictures. Obviously I have a long way to go & so much more to learn but have really enjoyed painting so far :)<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a really great Easter if I don't get to blog again until then :)<br />
<br />
Lily<br />

Confusing, isn't it?! Every time leap day is here, I say to myself I should make a little more effort & start a mini family tradition of some type but this time around (since I have a huge bump) all I wanted to do was sit still. The only thing that hubby & I did, which was remotely related to leap day was to watch the movie Leap Year. It is such a sweet romantic comedy & has an old fashioned feel to it. Some modern romantic comedies aren't elegant but this film has a lovely charm to it. If you haven't seen it & enjoy films like Sleepless in Seattle or You've got Mail, then I would really recommend this film. Do any of you have a tradition of any type for leap day?<br />
<br />
I hope those of you who live in the Midwest region of the U.S are safe & sound.<br />

Another festivity has passed this year already. Did you all have a nice Valentine's Day? I had a fantastic evening. Being mid-week, hubby was at work all day but I met up with him over his lunch hour (I do that most days if we're both free or I'll miss him too much). In the afternoon I decorated the house a little & cooked us a dinner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was spoilt so much this Valentine's. I had a dozen of beautiful roses, a gorgeous card, a bird feeder for the garden (I really wanted one), a brand new girlie DVD & tickets to a fantastic Waltz show for Saturday night. I can hardly wait, it looks amazing. The dancers will have traditional 19th century Vienna costumes & of course there will be live music by Johann Strauss Orchestra. If I didn't have a big bump, I would desperately try to wear something old fashioned for the occasion but a maternity dress will do :) I am so very excited. Trying to do some "date nights" before our baby arrives as we wouldn't want to leave him with a sitter once he is born. </div>

Hope you all had a great day whatever you did & hope you enjoy the photos.</div>

Do you celebrate it where you live? If so how? What are your traditions? Hubby & I like many people around the world know about it because of the movie & would absolutely love to visit someday in the future, hopefully with our little boy. Usually we watch the film on February 2nd but tonight we went to the cinema instead to watch The Descendants which was absolutely brilliant. Hopefully we will watch Groundhog Day over the weekend. <br />

How was your January? I cannot believe it already is the first of February, how fast the time goes by. I thought I'll share a few photos with you all of our Christmas feast. It looks like a lot but to my delight there weren't much left overs. I was glad because that meant everyone enjoyed their dinner & also I don't like wasting food. We had some cold Turkey sandwiches the next day so that was nice but we finished everything else :) This year I followed a Jamie Oliver (a popular British cook) Christmas recipe & he does everything from scratch. I'm not drinking at the moment as I'm pregnant so I thought I'll put a little more effort into the food this year & actually it turned out very nice. I may do the same recipe next year although it might be a little challenging with a little boy around. We're almost done decorating the nursery now, the furniture has arrived & we're doing the finishing touches such as curtains etc. I'll upload some photos as soon as it is all done. Hope you all are having a lovely Wednesday/Thursday.</div>

Christmas is finally here :) Oh haven't we all done well waiting for it all year long?! ;) My wonderful friend Mandie from <a href="http://whisperingchristmasdreams.blogspot.com/">http://whisperingchristmasdreams.blogspot.com/</a> sent me another lovely Christmas box this year. There were MANY generous gifts inside. I have used some in our decorations and will upload a post later on to show you the rest of the gifts. Just thought to share photos of our decorations this year. </div>

I thought I'll upload a scan photo of our baby boy. This is him at 22 weeks. He is lying on his back, head on the right, facing up. You can also see the arms and the heart. His legs are on the right but are nor clear in this photo. Can't wait to meet him in April.</div>

Are you all ready for the Holiday Season? Hubby & I exchanged cards last night, all the decorations are out & the mistletoe is hung. I've one more shopping trip to the shops left to top up on supplies & get the turkey. I can't believe how quickly Christmas has come around this year. </div>

Hi all. We now know that we are having a baby boy :) My lovely hubby surprised me baby boy balloons. We are so excited and are thinking of names, also have bought a couple of little baby boy outfits. Everything seems to be going ok so far and we feel very blessed. Just wanted to share our happy news with you all. Not long now until Christmas, I can hardly believe how quickly it has come around. Hope you all are having a nice week.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today is the first day of advent. Have you started eating the little chocolate yet? Or like us do you have a little surprise everyday to decorate with? I love our little Santa Advent Calendar, we bought it from costco a year ago. What are your advent traditions?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It seems that the countdown to Christmas is official although I must admit I start the countdown quite sometime ago,lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Hope you all had a lovely time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went to our local garden centre & really enjoyed their decorations so much that had to share some photos with you all. I thought they were much better than last years. They seem to have used a lot of ribbon in the trees, which I believe is popular in the U.S, but not over here so it is really refreshing to see. I thought they were beautiful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The decorating of our house is finally coming to an end, hopefully the carpets will be all done by the end of the week & I will be able to put out our Christmas decorations. I can't wait. I'm also hoping to make a new wreath if I get some free time. Hope you all are having a great week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
