Days 1 – 9 of Project 366 (2016)
Merry Christmas!
Have a wonderful Christmas one and all! Enjoy the time with your loved ones, and make plenty of memories.
Crochet: Sky Blanket 2016
I've been crocheting up a storm since the beginning of this year and it's fair to say that I have the bug! I also have a stash of yarn to rival Deramores or Wool Warehouse; it was just last week that my sister spotted my hidden stash in the boot of the car, and threatened to stage a 'yarn-tervention' if I didn't cool down! I can't help it, I like the soft squishyness of a new ball of yarn, the textures and colours, and it ends up as something even more pretty and useful: win-win as far as I'm concerned.
Baby Wardrobe Tips
One of the most exciting times for any new mum or dad is getting the chance to finally dress your baby in all those clothes you excitedly bought during pregnancy.
This, of course, is usually swiftly followed by the realisation that all the clothes you bought during those nine long months are utterly impractical for one reason or another.
Yankee Candle: Reindeer Carousel Advent Calendar
I'm sure that I'm not the only parent who spends an awful lot of December creating fun activities for their children, building up the excitement of the season and ensuring plenty of enjoyment and memories are created. I don't know about you but The Boy usually has a chocolate advent calendar and then he also has a handmade fabric calendar that I made a few years ago, this one usually has a small gift or an IOU for a christmas craft or activity in it.
I don't have an advent calendar.
But this year I do!
Treetop Adventure Golf, Cardiff (Review)
We try to get out in the fresh air as much as possible, but sometimes it's not always achievable, especially if it's a little bit too fresh! We had a bank of 'go-to' entertainment venues which we frequented during inclimant weather, but as The Boy gets older, our needs have changed. We had spotted that there was a new golf course open in the centre of Cardiff, but as it was in St. David's 2 shopping centre's car park I wasn't entirely sure how it worked and what it would be like.
Treetop Adventure Golf is actually a very clever use of an area of the popular car park which was rarely used, and provides an afternoon's entertainment for all the family.
The 'C' Word
Late last year I went to my GP and discussed with him how I could go about being screened for any possibilities of having cancer in the future. You've heard of the forms you can fill in which then get sent back to genetic research experts who calculate your chances? Well, it was one of those. The people in the correct department obviously felt that I could be a risk as they agreed and sent a form out for me to fill in and return within two-three months.
It's still sat in my kitchen, not filled in.
Why?
Going Ape in the New Forest!
There is nothing that The Boy loves more than clambering up a tree. It provides a real sense of achievement and connecting with the natural world in that manner really grounds the soul, uplifting and revitalising the body.
Last weekend we travelled down to the New Forest for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday celebrations. This involved the extended family spending three hours up a tree, clambering over cargo nets and sliding down zipwires.
Theatre Shows Made Easy With TodayTix
It was just a few months ago at Christmas that we took The Boy to his first big theatre performance, the Lion King was on tour in the Wales Millennium Centre and we went as an extended family to see it as a treat. He was utterly captivated and ever since then I've had my eyes peeled, looking for another suitable show for him to enjoy.
A few weeks ago, we were offered the chance to watch a Saturday matinee performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London.
