Romans Homemade Christmas presents

So like most mummy's and daddy's we really wanted to spoil the kiddies at Christmas, but with Romans being at that funny age(2 yrs) he's not really into anything of such and can't really tell us what he wants. Roman is completly obsessed with pirates at the moment, and went throught a fase of making tents so I decided to get him one.

I really love the tepees I see all over Instagram and Facebook, so I had a look into getting him one 😳OMG the price of them company's were looking between £150-£200 for one with out any cushions  lightes etc. 

I'm always looking at ways to cut costs and I'm a dap hand on a sweing machine so I dug it out, dusted it off and made myself a patten,After searching Pinterest and Google for patterns I found one but adapted it for what I wanted to do.

 Even the the fabric was going to cost a little bit of money,but we had a sofa bed/futon we wanted to get rid of so I decided I was going to recycle it, we used the fabric from the cushion for the sides of the tent,I ordered fabric for the polls to sit in and for the cushion inside the tent. Luckily for my my dad is a carpenter so he always has wood lying around that he dosnt need so he gave us that. 

The wood from the futon has made Amiirahs Princesses tent (will write a blogpost on that once finished!!!) 

I'm so pleased and happy with how it turned out, I can't wait to see Romans face Christmas Day he's going to love it! 

It's not always about buying loads of presents for your kids as long as the thought is there it dosnt have to cost the world!!

Love

lush lush lush

So this was my first time in a LUSH store and omg it was amazing.
Ive had a look online a few times but I like to touch feel and smell make up,beauty stuff, bubble bath etc etc I may be strange but that's what I like to do (let me know if your the same!)
 I have watched so many videos on LUSH products and thought id treat myself and with the Christmas products they bring out,and how much everyone raves about them I thought id give some a try, was completely overwhelmed and really didn't know what to chose so I just picked up a few little bits for myself and some for the kiddies.
 I visited the store in Drake Circus Plymouth, the sales assistant was lovely (sorry forgot her name!!)but she was lovely.

I could of spent a small fortune and brought the whole shop but I restrained myself and just got a few little bits, but I'm definitely going to go back very soon and buy myself and the kiddies some more.

first thing is Snow Fairy shower gel, I've herd amazing things everywhere about this product at Christmas so I just had to get it really to see what all the hype was about. This is a limited addition product that is only around at Christmas!

OMG this smells AMAZING, its a lovely sweet bubble gum smelling product that has a lovely shimmer to it.

I got the 100g bottle that is £3.75, i am yet to try this product but i now i'm going to love it!!!

Next is Candy Mountain bubble bar £2.75 again this is a lovely smelling product very sweet a perfect match for snow fairy, Its beautiful looking and would look beautiful in your bath bomb collection. completely caught my eye with its glittery girly and pink colors and its beautifully sweet smell. You can get about 5 baths out of this one bubble bar (that's what the sales lady said to me) cant wait to use this and have a lovely bath.

obviously just had to buy this father Christmas bath bomb £3.50 because its Christmas soon and just smells so Christmassy and just a beautiful smelling bomb, will defo be getting another one as soon as i've used this. 

There was so many Christmas bombs/melts etc i wanted to get but these are the ones i chose this time.

last but not least i got two cute little bombs for my kiddies,

 Butter Bear £1.95 and ICKLE Robot bath bomb £1.95

Butter bear is just so cute and smells so nice its a vanilla scented bomb with cocoa butter to soften the sink, defiantly a good one for Roman an Amiirah and with all LUSH products being all natural they are good to use with the kids.

Ickle robot smells really minty and eucalyptusy, The bath bomb is supposed to help with sleep, which if defiantly needed at the moment in this house with both kiddies having colds and Amiirah teething.

cannot wait to use these products and see how amazing they are, if they are as good as they look and smell I will be happy. I will definitely be going back to lush very very soon to purchase alot more amazing products.

A lush haul will be up on my Msleesha1 YouTube channel very soon.

Bonfire night 2014

This was the first year we had gone to fireworks with the kiddies and they both loved it, Roman did complain that it was a little lout but he kept saying how beautiful they all looked.

I thought Amiirah would of freaked out but she to loved it.

Our local fireworks display in the next village to us always have an amazing display, which is run by the local rugby club and the local firebragade, so we like going to that to support local people and causes because that's what keeps them going. This year was amazing I haven't seen a display like that down there for a long time,it was really good and they had a really big turn out!

We also have a fireworks night at our friends farm in a few weeks but wanted to get this blog up before we go to that. 

Bonfire night also has another big meaning in our household, it's my dad's birthday. So every year we try and go and see fireworks together as a family to celebrate dad's birthday.

My dad and roman playing! 

We will have a vlog up on our vlogging channel soon of our night at the fireworks (MsLeeshas life)  

Hope you enjoyed reading,Still new to the whole blogging thing and will have a lot more coming 

Lots of love

Halloween/autumn treats

HALLOWEEN\ Fall Treats 

I decided to do autumn/fall halloweenish treats, something a little different to give to trick or theaters and was fun to do with roman, well i was so wrong it was a major disaster nothing was going right, the caramel was just sliding off the apples and so did the chocolate! just goes to show im just human and a mummy! it was a lot of fun to do with roman and the tasted lush!

 Because it was such and epic fail i had loads of left over caramel and chocolate so i made slabs of caramel and chocolate with different topping which can easily  be broken up and shared out. Roman loved doing that and decorating the chocolate>

so this is how i made these yummy treats:

what you will need 

`

Chocolate Apples

• 10 apples (5 caramel, 5 chocolate) washed ,dried and cold!!!! 
• lollipop sticks 
• chocolate (white and milk but use whatever you prefer)
• topping of your choice (i used marshmallows, oreos and gold balls) 

Caramel sauce 

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar 
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2tsp salt (add more if you want to make salted caramel)  
• 1 can condensed milk

topping

• chocolate peanuts 

To make the caramel sauce

• In a heavy saucepan melt the butter 
• then add the sugar syurp and salt
• cook over a medium heat for 10-12 mins 
• stir in the condensed milk and cook until your candy thermometer reaches 248 degrees(firm-ball stage)
• remove from the heat 
• line a baking tray with grease proof paper
• start to coat your apples   
•  if able to coat in crushed peanuts!!
• leave cool for 30mins -1hr( or place in the fridge)
• Enjoy

to make the chocolate apples

• place chocolate in a microwaveable bowl
• heat for 30 secs at a time (took me 1min 30 secs)
• line a baking tray with grease proof paper 
• coat each apple with a generous amount of chocolate and use whatever topping you would like and place on the tray! 
• leave cool for 30min-1hr (if you can leave them that long!!!)
• Enjoy

with the left over  caramel and chocolate:

• line a baking tray or a flat surface (for he chocolate not the caramel)with grease proof paper 
•  pour the caramel in tray and add toppings( I used chocolate covered peanuts)  
• Spread the chocolate on a flat surface 
• Add topping 
• And drizzle over chocolate (I did a milk base with white chocolate drizzle and vice versa)

  So the whole experience of making these was not amazing but for my 1st mummy and kiddie vid I wasn't expecting anything amazing!!! But the finished result did look ok but tasted amazing! And came up with some pretty cool extra pieces that I didn't think I was going to! 

Defo a good autumn/fall treat and a good alternative to give out to any little trick or treaters that come knocking at ur door! 

Happy Halloween everyone
