Expecting snow?

Then maybe you'll be wanting these 'handy' things to help make the best snowman on your street.

Snowman Maker, Snowman Kit and Sno-Baller!

As seen on this lovely blog and available to order at this US store.

You might also fancy a new pair of cosy boots to keep your toes toasty and warm. These styles look just the ticket don't you think?

We've had a fine sprinkling of snow here this afternoon, so I dug out Luca's snow boots to make sure they still fit, just incase it gets heavy tonight. Last year I was soo unprepared and had to bomb around town looking for snow boots that were cool enough for a 6 year old. We had a huge (for the Netherlands) dumping of snow and nearly every store had sold out of kids boots (apart from pink ones - definitely a no-no). Thankfully I found a pair that were just about acceptable to him and they still fit (must have been massive last year)!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know...
