seven months of you, olivia grace 🤍 it feels seven months of you, olivia grace 🤍 

it feels like each month is going quicker than the last, i can’t believe you’re 7 months old already - it’s such a privilege to watch you grow, but i wish time would slow down, just a little, so i can soak up every little thing one last time 🥺
spring days, sunshine and flowers are my favourite spring days, sunshine and flowers are my favourite 🌸🤍

for me, being a mum is the hardest, but most rewarding thing i’ve ever done over the past (almost) ten years - but it’s also the greatest privilege to help raise them. i couldn’t be prouder of the little people they’re becoming 💫🤍

Alternative Advent Calendars For The Whole Family



If you’re looking for a non-chocolate alternative advent calendar this year, then look no further as I’ve put together a list of my favourites. There is sure to be something for all the family.


I’m really surprised by the range of non-chocolate advent calendars out there. I’ve also found some Playmobil ones, as well as wooden ones too where you can add your own items inside for each day. There really is something for everyone!


1. Yankee Candle Calendar
This would be perfect for any candle lover! I’ve got my eye on one of these myself haha.

2. 12 ‘Beers of Christmas’ Calendar
This is one for the men (or anyone who likes beer!). The 12 beers of Christmas advent contains a variety of craft beers which have been brewed in the UK. There is also an option to send a personalised, handwritten card – so this would make an ideal gift too!

3. Benefit ‘Party Poppers’ Calendar
This would be the perfect calendar for make-up lovers! This kit involves miniatures of popular Benefit products, such as They’re Real! mascara, Hoola lipgloss and Rockateur face powder.

4. Playdoh Calendar
I think most children love Playdoh, and I’m sure they would love this alternative in the run up to Christmas.



5. V-Tech Toot Toot Drivers Calendar
If your child loves Toot Toot, this would be the ideal calendar for them to add to their collection! It includes a sleigh, Christmas decorations and more.


What advent calendars have you chosen this year?
