I have absolutely loved December. My girls are the perfect age for them to adore Christmas and for it not to be too hard for me (the baby days can be tough but keep going!).
We have loved being out and about watching Christmas shows and seeing Santa, but we have also loved being outdoors. We met up with Rachel and her family at Erddig again this time to have Breakfast with Father Christmas, but also to try out the new Alice in Wonderland Trail. It was good wholesome fun!
I tag all my UK days out photographs #UKexplore on Instagram and if you aren’t following me over there I’d love you to do so!
Some of my favourites from December are:
Yorkshire Tots Emmajrgibb SuzanneLeaSmith
Life at Cooks Cabin Craftsonsea Memeandhari
TinBoxTraveller SoprettyLily thejoyoffive

But this month’s winner of the Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property of their choice is Julia from Rainbeaubelle
Why not head over to Rachel’s page The Ordinary Lovely, to see her favourites too.
