Carol Of the Belles.

Part of the the girls Christmas present has been a puppy, st Benard pup with paws that were currently to big for it. The laughter of her children and the pups high pictured met her ears and Helena couldn’t help but smile “what are you three planning?” She asked with a chuckle “nothing mommy” Annabelle Smiled. The younger girl crouched down to pet the dog but looked at her sister “Nell? Could...could you teach me to...” but she didn’t finish what she was saying because he little red head had seen someone coming so bolted behind Helena “baby girl, it’s ok” Helena soothed “it’s just one of our friends” she reminded her softly. The pup waddled it’s way over to the person and was about to ask for affection when she tripped over her own paws “really sweep?” Ell chuckled. @mountmeadow

Thank you, sweetheart. Her sister keeps teasing her that she will have a fiery temper to go with that red hair when she’s older.

Love.

When Nell and Billy were younger they were terrified of Santa. Billy still finds the whole idea of him extremely creepy. Hey if you want tag along with us you can. And if he does freak out they are more than use to it, sweetheart.

Hello gorgeous girl! How are you? I don’t mind giving you a tour, sweetheart. I’ll have you bring my youngest with me though. Tim is a bit miffed about it as well! Girl we need to have a coffee or something!

The fact that everytime I open up TikTok all I see is people doing the Wednesday dance makes my heart so happy. I choreographed it myself and was so nervous about it. Although, the song people have dubbed over it instead of the one we used in the show drives me a little insane. Anyway, hi. I’m Jenna! If anyone would like to be a tour guide and help me out then it would be very much appreciated. @mountmeadow​

It’s basically porridge oats and eatable glitter mixes together ans put on the garden on Christmas Eve. Tell the kids it’s to help guide the reindeer.

In all honesty I think Nell is just going along with the whole thing for Annabelle’s sake. She said to me last night that she she loves seeing the magic in her eyes and how excited Annabelle gets over finding the elves each morning.

Why do I do this to myself.

Never had the change to really do elf on the shelf with my older children so getting to do so now with Annabelle is actually extremely fun. And even with Nell no longer believing in Santa she wanted and elf too. So now this mama needs ideas! Anyone who wants to help me plan said ideas is welcome to come round and we can get pizza and beeers too. @mountmeadow

[purelyhelena]

Awww, I miss the toddler years. They stay little for such a short time, don’t they? So what sort of mischief has your elf gotten into so far then? These two have gotten into my make up, been caught trying to sabotage the laundry, making flour angels...ergh and I can’t exactly remember what else.

Why do I do this to myself.

I could have a word with Tim and see if he has a seasonal movie in that works? How are you though, dear? Don’t suppose you want to help me plan the next elf adventure for the kids elf on the shelf do you?

“Now that Netflix is filled with a lot of Christmas movies, I kinda want to be casted on one. I’d not mind if the movie only get shown on this season”

@mountmeadow

[purelyhelena]

Oh hell yes! Christmas and Disney movies go together perfectly, don’t they? As I have the kids though would you like to come to us for said Disney movies? We’re going to bake Christmas cookies too and other various Christmas treats if you would like to join us?

so… since it’s christmas every day (if you celebrate and if you don’t, i’m so sorry, ignore me) until the new year, who wants to gather up and watch christmas movies with me? i won’t be terribly picky about what we watch as a group. except i’m definitely demanding like, twelve things. casually. and hot cocoa. do you guys have any traditions with your families? any favorite things to do? favorite movies? please share.

I love wedding planning! If I hadn’t of been an actress I probably would of gone into wedding planning as a career! But then I wouldn’t of had the life I do. You oldest is 6 isn’t she? We should totally get Annabelle and her together for a play date. Oh would you like me to give the recipe for “reindeer food?!” It’s just something you and the kids can make and put on the back garden.

Congratulations on the wedding plans, Girl. But yes Christmas shopping with kids is ....an adventure? How old are they both? My youngest is seven and before I adopted her she didn’t know about the magic of Christmas or Santa. So getting that magic In her eyes when I told her was definitely amazing. How are the wedding plans going though?

I have four so together we will have quite the pack on our hands. But yes I’m most definitely prepared. I love dogs myself. My daughters Annabelle and Nell want to get rabbits and Guineapigs So were off to do that at the weekend.

purelyhelena​:

Welcome to town, sweetheart. Have to admit here I’m a massive fan of your music! My Daughters are too. Unpacking can be an absolute nightmare, can’t it? If you would like to get a breath of fresh air I’m about to head out with my dogs if you would like to join me? Oh bother! There I go again and not introducing myself! I’m Helena or ell.

well thank you so much, i appreciate that. i have nine dogs so i hope you’re prepared. i have such a soft spot for them. Nice to meet you!

[purelyhelena]

That sounds like a perfect gift. I can’t speak for all women here but those I know and myself do love whatever our partners get us. What we don’t tell them though is that things they actually take time to plan out mean so much more to us. Tim and I still get things for eachother despite us being divorced.

This is a completely random question with no relevance to my life whatsoever. I’m just asking for a friend here but-what do girls like for Christmas? I get the flowers and jewelry or whatever for Valentine’s Day…but is Christmas different?

My world in one place.

Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That's only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat: you have to master yourself. Nell, Billy and Annabelle! Thank you so much for letting me be your mama.
