Monday was Amelia's 2nd birthday and we decided to keep it low key. She had a few visitors on Monday and then went out for a birthday meal on Tuesday with some family. Keeping to the low key theme, I decided to make some shortbread biscuits with Hollie and cut them out in the shape of a 2 and Hollie had fun icing the biscuits. Last year I bought...

Amelia has loved her new dressing up outfits that she got for her birthday on Monday. She loves putting hats on, so this elephant costume went down well! Although Hollie is constantly telling me that she is too old to play with her sister's 'baby' toys, she has enjoyed playing with the duplo that Amelia got for Christmas!  Linking up with...

From the sentimental items as a newborn to the artwork that's collected in school, storing the childhood memories for you and your child is important.  I have 2 boxes for each of the girls, one baby box and one for items as a toddler onwards. I will show you what I have kept for Hollie as she is the eldest. Most of the boxes are from Homesense as...

When we bought a new bed for Hollie before Amelia was born, I knew we needed to get a bunk bed as there wasn't a lot of room for a cot bed let alone 2 single beds. I wanted to get a white bunk bed as I thought it would make the room lighter and fresher. When Amelia went into the lower single bed a month ago, she still used her cot bed duvet but for an...

We may not have had a lot of snow recently but when we did have snow, Hollie was desperate to get out and play in it. Amelia on the other hand, wasn't too keen about it and didn't know what she was suppose to do. She was too little last year when we had snow and so this year was her first proper experience. She was quite unsure and was more than...

These days with all the types of social media, it's so easy to just send a quick thank you to someone that sent you a present, helped you out etc. As much as I might do this now and again, I really like to send out thank you cards to people whether they are 20 or 80. To me as a crafter, I think that it shows that person that you were grateful and are...

Recently Amelia has been fascinated when I have been watching You tube videos and has started sitting on my lap and watching them with me!  I love that she does this as she doesn't sit still for very long usually and was never a very cuddly baby so this has been quite precious to me.  I hope that it continues!  Linking up for...

Hollie has a little dolly called Daisy that she has had since she was born and she decided that this week her and Amelia each needed a photo with Daisy so here they are. Have to say that I really love these photos of the girls.  Linking up with Jodi at Practising Simplicity. Facebook / Twitter / In...

The girls this past month have still been very close but Hollie is beginning to want some space from her sister to play with things like her doll house and her Lego. Until recently Amelia hasn't minded this but as she is growing up, she is wanting to play with all the things that Hollie is playing with too so this has been hard to be able to keep the peace! Just...
