Issy's turning six

The 12th is fast approaching and my little lady isn't about to let me forget her birthday is in 4 weeks :') 

even the count down to Christmas it was always weeks never days, If only it was weeks I'd be a lot less stressed.

Being 5 going on 16 she's like a proper little lady we'll be going on a little shopping trip but not

until we've stopped off at the nail bar to have our nails done because no shopping trip

is worth doing without a set of killer nails.

On the saturday we'll be having a little party 

with party games and some nail painting for the girls, I did plan to stock up on some snazaroo face paints

that I could put away for each year but it soon shot round and I ran out of time :(

Hello October!

I've never been soooo excited for Halloween before now that my girls are older and can enjoy it :) This year we are having a little Halloween party for the girls. So i've been hunting online like a mad woman for fun little treats I can make up food wise for the party as well super fun games. I came across an amazing website called ourbestbites there's so many cute & simple ideas loads I'd never even thought of doing. They cover all sorts of ideas/recipes such a great website.  Here's a few I plan to make up for the girls party.

Use chocolate pudding for your mud and put some crushed oreos on top for dirt. Hide those gummy worms in there for eeek factor!

slice hotdogs and drop them into boiling water for just a minute or two and they’ll curl a bit. Dunk them in some bbq sauce and you have slimy worms :

 Cut crescent roll dough into thin strips and wrap around hot dogs. Bake according to crescent package directions and use ketchup or mustard for eyes. I cut my hot dogs in half to make them bite-sized.

You’ll need marichino cherries for this one. Make sure you buy ones with stems. Drain them and dry them well with paper towels. Dip in almond bark, or chocolate bark. When they are semi dry, attach a chocolate chip for a nose, slivered almonds for ears, and little candies or sprinkles for eyes
