A big welcome to week 24 of #SharingtheBlogLove! I love running this linky with my lovely friend Laura at Dear Bear and Beany. Thank you so much to everyone who joined us last week and thank you for joining us again! Isn't it feeling Christmassy all of a sudden? We put our tree up last weekend and it just feels like Christmas is right around the corner now. I still have a few presents to buy though - must sort that this week and then it's wrapping time! I've loved reading all of your Christmas themed posts too - they've definitely got me in the Christmas mood!   But, on with the linky!   What's #SharingtheBlogLove all about?

A big welcome to our 24th week of #SharingtheBlogLove and our weekly Blogger Showcase! If you're new to #SharingtheBlogLove, these are mine and Laura's favourite posts from last week's linky. As part of the linky we'd like you to choose one post from each showcase post to head over and leave a comment to show them some extra blog love.   Tooting Mama I have a fairly relaxed approach to gender specific toys - Max loves his toy trains and cars, but is also a huge fan of his tea set and play kitchen.

A view of the Biomes at the Eden Project

The Eden Project has been somewhere we've wanted to visit as a family for a long time, but living so far away from Cornwall we've never managed to get there. So on our recent holiday to Cornwall we decided that it was finally time to put that right! The story of the transformation from a clay pit to a magical world of exotic plants is both fascinating and inspirational, and is something that really has to be seen in person. With Max being only 2 and a half, I had some concerns about how suitable it would be for him. But I needn't have worried. I knew that Max would love the biomes and the rainforest, but I didn't expect him to ...

Coloured Baubles haging outside the bauble shop

I really do love this time of year - Christmas just brings out the best in everything and it just feels like there's that touch of magic in the air. Although things are a bit of a struggle at the moment as I'm still feeling pretty ill, there's so much to enjoy about this time of year.   01. We visited Lapland UK which was everything I'd hoped it would be and more! You can read my full post on our visit, but suffice to say that I'd had some concerns about whether Max was a little bit young for it. But watching him embrace the experience was the most wonderful thing - he just completely 'got it'. He even loved meeting Father ...
