If like me you dream to buy one of those Pandora bracelet but don't really have the budget for, i suggest you browse those two websites where you can select charms and bracelets. They can go as low as 0.10 euros for a charm! Have a nice day.

Push Along Toy, it is great, the tiny pegs jump up and down as the toy is rolled. Eco friendly toy and she loves it. I recommend it!

Christmas coffee anyone?

I am a coffee addict, so i am lucky i got this tasty present: cinnamon and chocolate flavoured ground coffee. I am going to enjoy that..all i need now is the coffee machine. I love the box too, very cute design.

Chocolate!!!

Oh joy nothing better than receiving chocolate as a Christmas present! And i love the way you open that box. The chocolate flavors in this box are: Rhubarb Crumble, Keylime Pie, Pot au Chocolat, Raspberry Shortcake, Lemon Meringue Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Delicious! Ok i already ate the middle tray, not sure how long they will last......

OK i am not the best cook but i do try! Christmas diner: Chicken, roast potatoes, onion stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. All that followed by a fudge Christmas log and coffee. You can't beat the traditional Sunday roast.

pop up tree

You know how hard it can be to set up the traditional Christmas tree. Well i know it is nice to spend time in the markets to buy the decorations and then you decorate it with the children. But when you are a busy mum of a toddler, this tree was just a revolution for me. It takes 2 minutes to build that one and all the decorations are on it! I say *thumbs up pop up tree*.

Welcome to Ma English Life

 Hi all!

Welcome to my blog!

I decided to call my blog *Ma English Life* because i am French and i live in England since 2007. I am a languages teacher and i have a little daughter of nearly 2.

I wanted to share with you the life of a French girl in England.

I hope you will like it!

Merry Christmas!

Yet again another Christmas, it is an amazing time of the year especially to see my little one waking up on Christmas day and to see all the presents gathered around the tree. She is 2 years old soon and she is getting more and more curious about things. Well she had a great day and found it hard to fall asleep on that day; she was too busy cooking pancakes in her new kitchen!!!
