AD. We were gifted the items within this gift guide in exchange for coverage. Since becoming a parent it is fair to say that my life priorities have changed. Now I love spending evenings at home, enjoying time with family and a nice treat or two in the evenings. Christmas gifts for parents is a category I am often shopping in, as so many of the people in our family are parents to small children now. I’ve gathered together some of my favourite Christmas gifts for parents from this year for this gift guide. Hopefully you’ll find some inspiration for the overworked people in your life.

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week. We’ve been enjoying a family holiday and so I’ve not had to meal plan this week which has made a nice change. I’m looking forward to getting back on track next week but for now, I’ve only got to plan a few meals. Every week I share with you my meal plan for the coming week and provide a post for other bloggers to link up (see below). I love seeing what everyone is linking up meal plan wise, cooking each week and also getting inspiration for my own meal plan. I hope that this will help people to find lots of inspiration, delicious recipes and maybe read some helpful blog posts about meal planning and money-saving. Don’t forget to check out my post to help you avoid overspending on your groceries.

My husband and I are always working on wasting less money these days. We have a big mission to buy a house in the next 18 months and want to put down a 50% deposit. This is no small amount as we live in the South East. We have been working to save money on takeaways and one of the ways we’ve been doing so is by eating fewer takeaways. I decided to make airfryer chips recently, to accompany a slow cooker kebab recipe that I’ll be writing about soon. We’ve had these a few times now and I’ve really perfected the recipe. If you want to know how to cook chips/fries in an air fryer then I’ve got you covered with this post! Cooking chips or fries in air fryer is really easy and takes just minutes to get prepared!

AD. We were gifted the items within this gift guide in exchange for coverage. Babies come in waves in our family. We can go several years without there being a new arrival, despite having 7 surviving siblings between us, and now something different but exciting is happening! My NIECE is having a baby. Wow – I feel old! I can remember sitting next to her, at 7 years old, bringing her home from the hospital when she was 2 days old. It was snowing outside and it is one of my clearest memories of my childhood. Anyway, fast forward 24 years (almost) and my niece is having a baby of her own! I’m SO excited and so this year I wanted to host a post filled with Christmas gifts for a new baby. It has been a few years since I had my own baby, as Daisy is 3, and these are some of the items I will be gifting my niece ready for her own baby to be born.
