Childhood Christmas Wishes
I was just going through some old pictures and i found these of me that my mum took the minute i woke up on Christmas day in Spain.
The excitement on my face i just find magical! Like i truly believed in Magic - how amazing to capture that in a picture! The pure amazement and genuine belief. And this is exactly why i love making so much effort with Honey and Rocco and making Christmas magical because its what my mum did for me. These memories and feelings you can't replace!
So when i was little i always wanted a Christmas Tree in my bedroom and of course i wanted a real one (haha)
This is me and my dad with my tree in my bedroom!
Well when we were in Paperchase last week Honey saw this little tree
It is £8.50 from www.paperchase.co.uk
I just love it!! Sooo cute and believe it not i had one just like this when i was about 12 in my room! As we are getting a real tree this year for our lounge and we aren't going to get it right at the beginning of Dec i thought it would be nice for Sunday 1st December for Elvis to bring Honey this tree and some baubles for her bedroom!
I'm going to get her some really kitsch decorations and let her go to town! I'm even going to get some tinsel hahaha - Paperchase have a great selection and some little lights!
They also have this one in Paperchase which is also lovely
www.paperchase.co.uk its £12
I love making Honeys dreams come true - its so rewarding and i know i won't but i hope i'll be as good a mum as my mum! She is my best friend and i wouldn't know what to do with out her! I'd say she's the original magic mummy
Making new family traditions are the best!

A Baby Must x
I am a sucker for anything that means saving memories of my babies!!! They don't stay little long enough (sob sob) and they are soon answering you back and stamping their feet at you!
When i was pregnant with Honey i looked into all different things to do as a newborn. My mum and Nicks mum had plates made with our names, weight, dates, times of birth - which are now on our bedroom wall but i wanted something more!!! So when Honey was 18 days old off i drove to Milton Keynes and had her Hand and Feet Cast.
Then when i was pregnant with Rocco i decided to get a date booked in etc but i couldn't find the people i had been to before on the internet! So i found a lady called Anna who was local to me! I took her Honeys frame and asked if she could match it! (I hate things that don't match!) She did and its perfect! So this is Rocco at 9 days old.
I have them in prime position on top of my fireplace with their portraits! I look at them and can't believe their little hands and feet were that small!!!!
The memories are priceless!!! And they will last forever!!! Granted they may not want them when they are older but its something that i will treasure forever! I look at my mum now and although she's my best friend i we are so close i just can't imagine her loving me as much as i love my children - i know she does but its indescribable how much these little people change our lives! Looking at their little hands and feet brings back memories that are irreplaceable! I can't imagine ever forgetting those first moments!!
For me this is a newborn must! I love the handprints and footprints but this is their actual whole hand and whole foot and the lines and the creases and the nails and the finger placement! Its just perfect!!!

What were your newborn must haves? Or your favourite way to treasure memories??
Wish time would slow down

Statement Jewels
The latest trend of Statement Jewellery wasn't my favourite discovery! I'm not a big jewellery person.... I like my simple pieces like my engagement and wedding ring, diamond studs and a heart diamond necklace from my dad. I always feel a bit silly and uncomfortable in big chunky necklaces and big pat butcher esque earrings!!! I'm more a statement shoe and bag person!
My wonderful friend Gerry introduced me to Stella & Dot and my mum and I had a Trunk Show for all of our friends. Well everyone loved it! The jewellery is fabulous, amazing quality! I don't think anyone left without buying something!
I asked Gerry what she thought about Statement pieces for mums:
"Statement jewellery allows women to step out of the mundane and define themselves as confident, passionate, and interesting ladies. Many women long to wear high heels but Mummies tend to avoid them as let's face it, they are SO not practical when you are running around after small people! So for the instant Statement boost, why not put your Superpower Statement piece on that will make you feel and look fabulous.
A statement necklace can completely change an outfit and many pieces can be worn dressed up or down (dress for wedding or jeans and t-shirt), keeping the cost per wear very reasonable. Statement jewellery includes; Bib necklaces, layering necklaces, cocktail rings, chandelier/hoop earrings, cuffs & bangles"

I couldn't agree more - heel's are a defo no for me - Rocco is Bolt quick!!
I bought this necklace and these earrings from the collection with my points for being a Hostess with the Mostess haha!
I love the necklace - i've worn it lots and feel good in it! The earrings however just aren't me - i'm not a hoop person ive decided i feel like JLo when she was with P Diddy when i wear them (i'm a boring stud girl haha). But its all about trying new things - i've now got a few statement necklaces and silly as it sounds they really do change an outfit up!! They don't have to be expensive the highstreet is full of lovely options!!
I couldn't write about Stella & Dot without mentioning 2 things 1 is the amazing bracelets they do!!!
The Spirit Bracelet is my fave (it was for Autistic Awareness month)
This makes such a beautiful present - i bought one for my niece for her 15th birthday and she loves it!!
And secondly their packaging!!! Its a girls dream come true!!! All lovely boxes which i love on my dressing table!!!

Our Make Up Must Haves!!!
Its Monday again! Today we thought we would write about our 3 must have make up items that we use everyday and cry when they run out!!!
First up is Jade...
Number 2 i'm going with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisteriser in Sand £33
I love the feel of this product - it is moisterising doesn't dry my skin and you can layer it for a higher coverage!!!
And now for Leeannes fave 3...
So number 1 on my list is Chanel 'Le Blanc De Chanel' Sheer illuminating base. This has been in my make up bag for years (recently reformulated). I never ever feel tempted to try anything else as i just love it. It reduces redness and once combined with my foundation (Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua) my pores are barely visible and my skin looks amazing with a healthy glow!
Number 2 on my faves list has to be Benefit's 'Posetint'. Its a gorgeous pink colour and super versatile. I keep mine in my handbag and whenever i need a mid day perk up this will add a flash of colour to my cheeks and lips in a jiffy.
Number 3 is YSL 'Touche Eclat". There cannot be a woman alive who doesn't know about or rate this concealer. It speaks for itself and its a definite must for any mummy with little people who do not sleep!
First up is Jade...
My number 1 fave is Benefit BADgal liner Waterproof £15
I wear this everyday! Its stays on all day! Makeup wise i couldn't live without an eyeliner! I feel naked without it on! Mascara i can take or leave but eyeliner is a must!!!
Number 2 i'm going with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisteriser in Sand £33
I love the feel of this product - it is moisterising doesn't dry my skin and you can layer it for a higher coverage!!!
Number 3 is Nars Sheep Lipstick in Roman Holiday £18.50
You've got to love a bit of lippy (wow i sound like my mum) - and Honey particularly likes drawing with this one (cue the tears - mine not Honeys). I can't wear red lipstick i look really weird in it but pink i love! And this pink is fabulous!!!
