Christmas Sweet Trees
I’ve admired sweet trees from afar for a while and I was considering purchasing one for Christmas, until I discovered that they start from £20 so I thought why not have a go myself and these are the results…
Very simple to make – polystyrene from my husband’s latest electrical purchase, bamboo skewers, lashings of melted chocolate, a tube or three of Smarties, a tub of Cadbury’s Roses and some big own brand milk and white chocolate buttons. The Roses were affixed using my latest purchase, a glue gun!

School Application DONE
This definitely feels like a milestone. 12 months from now my baby girl who could fit into the palm of my hand when she started life, will be finishing her first term at ‘big’ school and today I started the process of getting her there by completing her primary school application form. 2013 sure is going to be a baptism of fire for one Little Miss Popple.

Christmas Song
One of Ava’s Christmas Advent Activities was to write a Christmas song (with a little (and I emphasise the word ‘little’) help from Mummy) so here it is! All the ideas were Ava’s and I think it’s pretty good. I’m going to try to encourage her to learn it for Christmas Day and if she does and I manage to get any video footage, I’ll be sure to post it here!

First wee on the potty
No, I have not started potty training Benjamin at 16 months, however I have felt for some time that it isn’t fair to his sister that almost every night he wees in the same bath where Ava is trying to get clean. Cue the potty. Thank goodness he doesn’t know his colours yet as I suspect when he does, he’ll have a thing or two to say about the pink potty. Anyway a couple of rounds of ‘I have a Tiny Turtle’ and he was sufficiently relaxed to do the business. Ava and I were pretty excited but I’m not sure he really knew what all the fuss was about.
