Meet Hannah Bobannah

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Some news today. I rather enjoy newsy blog posts because after offloading all my 'stuff', I feel all relaxed and like the world is caught up. Granted not the entire world is reading (imagine!!), but yanno, Sprinklerino world at least.

As avid readers may have seen, my blog has been suffering a little of late. I love her so much but I also love my homelife, my YouTube channels and all the other gubbins that pack themselves into our lives. December is going to be my most insanely busy month of the year work wise (2 main channel videos a week as well as daily vlogging, multiple collabs and various events and dates in the diary- yikes) and I can see that keeping up with my blog is just going to be too much.

Not wanting to leave it empty and sad, I have a plan. MEET HANNAH. 

Hannah Bobannah (as I like to call her) is a blogger I met a few years back when she bought one of my first ever advertising packages. I developed and unhealthy addiction for her blog and we clicked in personality instantly. We've chatted about everything under the sun, eaten far to many sweet potato chips, online window shopped together and lol'd (yeah) about life dramas. She is a good egg. 

Hannah's blog is a refreshingly honest take on student life, men, relationships and carbs. What more would you want? Tiny warning (I personally love it but I know we are all different), Hannah is not afraid of a cheeky swear word and some posts have chat of a sexual nature. Little minx. If you want to check it out here is Student Life. Follow her HERE on Bloglovin. 

Over the last few months Hannah has been helping me out with a few blog bits but the time has come for me to say, 'Hannah help!! My blog needs you!!'.

With my crazy few weeks and her amazing writing skills, Hannah is going to be hopping aboard the good ship Glitter to write a few lovely posts for you to enjoy. It's taken me over 4 years to find a guest writer that I feel comfortable with so you can know that Hannah is clearly the biz! 

I hope you will welcome Hannah here and give her LOADS of support in the comments because I know she'll be reading and smiling from ear to ear so, Hannah, see you tomorrow!!

Toodlepip!

Baby Glitter's Room || Home Corners

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say, 'hello', goobye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" - White Rabbit, Alice In Wonderland.

Yep, that's how I feel. Try as I might to relax and not care, it really bugs me if I'm late with a promised blog post so huge apologies if you are one of those people who is bugged too. I feel your pain. 

So, back to the programme (so to speak). Last week we talked about a new Monday feature and I gave you a poll so that things would be a little more dynamic. As you can see from the right of the page, you voted in your thousands and 'Home Corners' pipped 'Baby Moment' to the post by 5%. What a close call!

If you are a viewer of my YouTube channel you'll kind of see that 'Home Corner' fits perfectly this week since on Sunday (my regular upload day), I posted a video of Baby Glitter's Nursery Tour. Whilst I was shooting this I took a couple of snaps to add to my blog (I could see which poll was in the lead and got ahead of the game *send clever points*) and so today, at last, I'm ready!

As you can see above, this is Darcy's room. Not a lot has changed since she was born and really, for a 2 year old it's kind of impractical. For her babyhood I filled it with (out of reach) trinkets an all things cutsie and chic but now as she develops and is more adept at climbing and reaching, it's time to swap the china ornaments and snowglobes for wooden puzzles and dress up clothes. I made my video because I knew viewers would be interested but also because I wanted to document the place my sweet baby spent her first months and so I wouldn't forget all the tiny details that are so dear to me. 

A few special things about her room that you might have spotted in the above video -

The 'D' on the door - bought at a craft fair when she was about 4 months old. 

The framed peachy coloured letter on her bookshelf - Written by my Mother to announce my own birth.

Paper hearts on the mirror - Stuck on by me when I made her heart and bells mobile so that the colour theme would tie through. 

The veil on the back of the wardrobe door - From my wedding.

The pink drawstring lacy bag - Made when I was pregnant. Not sure what I'm going to use it for but it's sweet and looks pretty. 

Rabbit snow globe on her dresser - Given by Matt's Auntie as a gift when Darcy was born.

China trinkets - Inherited from my mother. 

'Princess sleeps here' sign - A gift from my Auntie Judith. 

Frameless glasses on the bed - Sent to me for a PR thing but one of Darcy's favourite 'toys' haha. 

Carebears on her shelves - Gifts from Matt to me when we were dating.

I thought about telling you all the standard things but I figured you could work out where to buy a cot from or have seen a million videos and blog posts about changing stations and such. Darcy's room is special because it is full of history and sentiment and passed down love. 

As she grows and it becomes a more toddler friendly environment I'll still try to keep the special bits and the history because they mean so very much to me and hopefully will come to mean something to her too. 

In the comments, just for the cuteness, tell me the best thing about your favourite room and why it's so special to you. 

Toodlepip!

John Lewis Christmas TV Advert

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

As you well know, I am an absolute fiend for festivities and one of the highlights of the Christmas season is seeing the John Lewis advert come on TV each year. That snowman one in 2012? Yeah, I cried. Don't judge me.

I have just found the 2013 one on YouTube and HAD to share. 

If you do go and watch the video, comment on it with, 'Sprinkle of Glitter sent me' so I can see you!

For me, it's Christmas when the TV ads start rolling. What's your, 'it's Christmas when' moment?

Toodlepip!
