I'm not a big fan of Easter Eggs, in fact this year we have said that we don't really want or need any from friends and family so instead we are happy to give to a charity or maybe just a little toy for big and little J. Great Gizmos recently sent us some lovely gifts that are an ideal alternative to Easter eggs.

Anyone who knows me knows I have books and pads for everything. I write everything down. I am always writing lists, blog ideas, notes and I always get a new diary at Christmas too. Writing your thoughts and ideas down is a great way to save your memories and look back on them later in life. When I found From You to Me I instantly loved the idea so I was so pleased when I got the chance to receive a Dear Mum Journal - From You to Me

I have always been a fan of Carte Blanche Tatty Teddy. Ever since John

"I GO TO BED AT NIGHT, 

   AND IMAGINE THAT YOU`RE THERE

     I HOPE YOU DREAM OF ME TONIGHT, 

  AND KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE".
