Christmas DIY - Bauble / Ornament Wreath - Easy & Cheap!





I love a good Christmas DIY - especially when it saves me a lot of cash! If you are anything like me you will love this tutorial for a Christmas wreath made out of Christmas ornaments / baubles!

You can tailor the colours to your chosen holiday theme and add extra embellishments or keep it simple. The best part? I BOUGHT ALL OF THE COMPONENTS FROM MY LOCAL POUND SHOP! These wreaths are expensives in stores so save some money this Christmas and get creative!

These make great gifts and really brighten up your home!

So quick and easy - no one will believe you made it yourself! If you give this a go leave me a comment or tweet me @belleangeuk showing me your creation!

Singing Penguin - Disney Frozen 'LET IT GO'





Singing Penguin - Disney Frozen 'LET IT GO'

Elena and I had great fun filming this video using the free Talking Penguin app from the App Store and my lovely voice (lol)! Elena is very intrigued by the app as you can see if you watch to the end of the video!

Elena and I are huge fans of Disney films and Frozen has exploded this year! Since Elena was born I have sung Let it Go and Do you Want to Build a Snowman to her and she loves it!

By no means is the editing perfect but it was fun to do and I hope you like it!

Elena and I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our daughter the dolphin (hyena?) - 4 month old finds her soprano voice!





Elena has found her voice...and apparently she's a soprano!

Not sure who taught Elena to scream and squeal but she has quite the vocal range! It's quite funny when our dog, Abbie, runs around trying to work out what is making her baby scream!

Our drama princess is 20 weeks old in this video.

My Breastfeeding Experience





Who ever said that breastfeeding was easy??

In this video I share my experiences with breastfeeding my daughter, Elena. Before she was born I planned to exclusively breastfeed but I found out the hard way that something so natural doesn't always come naturally at all!
