Christmas at Cottontails

Where has this year gone? I cannot believe we are so close to Christmas. For me Christmas is my favourite time of year. Even as an adult I still find it so magical and inspiring. Check out my Pinterest Board :)

I'm always on the look out for gifts that are a little bit different and unique. So this blog post is featuring one of my favourite online shops Cottontails.

Cottontails is run by Charlotte Evans and has been established since 2002. They are a small family run mail order shop and have a very special member of staff.

Meet Humphrey!

As you all know I'm a big bunny lover and this little guy is so darn cute. You can see more about Humphrey here.

I've spent a long time looking through the online shop and I cannot find a single thing I would not want. There  are far too many pictures for me to share in a blog post so I urge you to also visit Charlotte's Facebook Page

I do want to share a couple of my favourites with you.

So if you are looking for some wonderful gift ideas do pop over to Cottontails and say hello. You can also follow Charlotte on Twitter on @CottontailsBaby

30 Day Photography Challenge Day 11: Something Blue

Ok so was it in the rules that it had to be 30 consecutive days??? if so my bad. Lots been going on.

Here is my Something Blue. A blue post it that says smile. I am obsessed with post-its. I have to get them in all colours and sizes and stick them everywhere :)

And just because they are cute here are some bunny pics :) Trigger

30 Day Photography Challenge Day 2: What I wore today

Hi guys, good to see a few more people joining in with the challenge. Remember to post below if you do join in :) Here is the first post with the picture on explaining what you need to take pictures of.

So today's picture was "What I wore today"

As one of my businesses is Jessica's Cupcakes I had a large order to do today so I wore jeans, white t-shirt and my apron! Not very exiting sorry!!!!

This week I've been so busy. As most of you know I left my day job in December to carry on with my cake business and have also set up my Virtual Assistant business. I've been so busy working very late into the night. And no rest today. But looking forward to a chill out tonight and staying off the computer!

In health terms I've started back on the exercise wagon and on Tuesday I'm joining a circuit class. It's run by another local business Michael at Flexercise. I'm really looking forward to it.

I've put a little plan together which will change around a bit depending on schedule and how I'm feeling but as a guide here is what I have:

Day	Workout
Mon	Turbo Fire
Tues	Circuit Training
Wed	Yoga/ Resistance
Thurs	TurboFire HIIT
Fri	Rest
Sat	Walk/Swimming
Sun	Yoga

Do you know what I'm really happy about? This....

Almond milk! I love Almond milk, it's my favourite DF milk but the issue was that I could only get it in the health shop. Which means a trip into town which I don't do every week and it cost over £3! But now Sainsbury's are selling it! So no special trips to make and it's only £1.79. Lots cheaper :)

Right I'm off to spend the evening with my scrummy man.

I'll leave you with a couple pics from the furries.

Bank Holiday Weekend

Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather we are having here. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean the summer will be rubbish!

What is everyone up to this weekend?

Phil and I had a lovely lie in this morning, it was really needed. We have both been ill and mega busy so it was nice to have a good little sleep. We then had a little lunch with the Fam. Right at this moment I am a football widow so thought I'd do a quick blog post and then read a few magazines outside before cooking dinner.

This month I made a major decision. I have become a vegetarian. Quite a few years back I was veggie for 3 years but one day I stopped. But for me as I'm such an animal lover and trying to get involved in as many animal rights things I can I couldn't cope with the guilt any more. So you may see a few vegetarian and vegan recipes on the bloggy. However Phil would never give up meat so there will still be non veggie recipes too :-)

The plants in the garden are coming along nicely. Strawberries are flowering, potatoes are doing well and my little raised bed with carrots, sweetcorn, salad and radishes is flourishing. Hopefully we will get a few more things done this weekend.

Other jobs this weekend is to sort out drawers and clear out the junk and go through all of our clothes.

On Sunday my Sister, Ryan and my Nephew Connor are coming round for a BBQ and Easter egg hunt.

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of Muffin and Poppy my two gorgeous house bunnies xx
