So on Thursday last week, I turned 29 and I thought I would share with you what I was lucky enough to receive for my birthday. I really struggled this year when asked what I wanted this year.. luckily my lovely family know me very well :)

From Adam I had this gorgeous Cath Kidston backpack from their Micky Mouse collection. I have loved this range since it was launched and eyed up quite a few of the different things on offer however never picked anything up. I'd seen the backpack a couple of times and have been toying with the idea swapping a handbag to a backpack before baby is born... 1 because it spreads the weight of stuff carrying and 2 because once she is born it will let mean I aren't jugging with a handbag and a changing bag. Plus when she becomes a toddler we can just add a change clothes without taking up lots of space. I love that this has 2 handy pockets at the side (handy for holding an umbrella and a water bottle) and a zip at the front where I have popped all things beauty such as lipsticks. There is also a handy pocket at the back too which is good for holding small things. On the inside there is a handy slot which holds a laptop as well as the main compartment.
From my mum and dad, I got lots of little crafty bits because what craft nut doesn't love some hobby craft goodies :) I also had some very practical presents from them. Me and mum had a girly day in town on Wednesday last week to do a bit of pre birthday shopping and we picked up some bits perfect for my hospital bag including some new PJs, a Nighty and a thinner dressing gown.
The night dress is from peacocks and is available here for £8. The idea was that I could wear this during labour. I love that it says I make my own magic on it as with the unicorns I thought this was really cute! What I also didn't realise is that Peacocks have started doing some plus sizes. I picked this up in a size 26-28 which is way too big for me (I am normally an 18-20) however I wanted something with lots of room in it, plus it gives me room for baby growing over the next 10 weeks.

Another thing we picked up was some new PJs from Marks and Spencer. I love their nightwear and these little beauties were £12.50 - available here. Again I will be packing these in my hospital bag just in case we need to stay overnight or so I have something comfy to change into after baby is born.

I had lots of other lovely presents including some lush goodies from my brother in law and his fiancé, some money from my Nanna and a voucher for afternoon tea at my favourite place in town to use as a pre baby treat for me and Adam on one of our days off together before little miss arrives which will be lovely :)

I had a lovely birthday - Adam and I went out for a meal in the evening with my mum and dad which we really nice.
My 29th year is set to be an exciting one and I have been thinking about everything I want to achieve over the next 12 months before I turn 30... I may do a whole separate blog post on this one :)

Ahhh Magic Kingdom! So aptly named!
