On November 5 people across the UK celebrate Bonfire Night. There are small fireworks parties in back gardens along with big organised displays in public parks. The reason we do it is because it's the anniversary of an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament led by a man called Guy Fawkes.

As a little girl growing up, my mum and dad have always had a tradition on Bonfire Night. Every year as a family we would get our wellies and hats on because in England in November you need them! We would walk up to the complex next to a train station and see the public firework display and huge bonfire they would light up. There would be food and rides for all the children as well. It was an amazing tradition growing up. 

So ever since Ellis was born I wanted to continue this tradition with him. So this year we did it a little different as we have moved away. So we decided that we would find the local one and on the 5th November we went to with Nathan's mum to see them. There wasn't a huge bonfire light up but we did see loads of huge fire that other people were having in there gardens. 

I love creating or continuing traditions that bring back so many childhood memories for me. Do you celebrate bonfire night? or are you not one for the cold?

My husband and I have recently moved our family in to the country side. We live in England so it is well known for it's green green grass and farm lands. Now that we live in it, and my husband will agree with me on this, I have never appreciated it as much as we do now. Anyway, We have started a little tradition as a family on Sunday to take our little puppy on a country nature walk. And we had family over this past weekend and we were able to take them out on our new tradition as well. I am very grateful for all the little things that have come in to our lives these past few weeks.

A week after me and Nathan got married last month we had planned and organised our first family holiday to Disneyland Paris Resort a week after the wedding. It wasn't until that week before we decided that we were going to fly to paris. We were going to take a road trip to France and set off on Thursday but we travelled on the Sunday instead.


 Sitting and waiting for the Disney Magic Parade, we got front row seats and Ellis was just so excited to see the castle because we were sat right infant of the disney castle and he kept pointing at it.
