I have completely lost my way with blogging over the last year. I have been working lots and my blog has taken a back seat. Everything that has happened over Christmas has made me realise how much I miss blogging.

How did that happen? We have had a wonderful few days which ended with a Trolls themed party. More about that later. For now here is a little video of my little girl’s 6th year.
