Well, it’s that time. Christmas has been over and packed away for a while now, but the trees are being collected tomorrow. It’s always a little sad, and I hope that when we have our own garden we can use a living tree instead (i.e. a potted tree that grows in the garden outside of Christmas time)

A New Bathroom for Christmas
I made reference to our fantastic Christmas gift from my sister yesterday. She really outdid herself on this one!
She surprised us with a much needed bathroom make over for Christmas.
Happy Christmas! Baby’s first…
Okay, I know… To Kyra, this was just another day, but for us, it was lovely.
We woke around 9am, probably the last time we’ll get to sleep that late on Christmas day for some time, and dressed her in her Christmas dress.
Creatively Yours this Christmas
If your week is as busy as mine, then well done for being here, and reading this. I’m sitting back, trying to catch up, briefly, and let you know I’ve not forgotten you. I have Christmas presents piled up around my feet and craft items next to me. I’ll have to keep this short, it’s definitely bed time for me.
Creating Christmas Traditions
Here’s our Christmas Dinner Menu for this year. My sister and her boyfriend are visiting us from Norway, so I’m looking forward to a relatively traditional meal.
Contented Christmas
So there I was, hair done, make-up on, feet becoming reacquainted with heels, handbag at the ready and putting my little girl down from her final feed. Pick up my phone to check the time, and notice a message. Listen in anticipation. Girls’ night out is a bust. Something’s come up with one, the other is sick, another can’t make it till later, yet another now can’t make it at all. So that leaves just me. All dressed up, and no where to go.
Easy Home Made Christmas Crackers
Okay, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It should read, home altered crackers.
I really love crackers, I think they just make the Christmas dinner table, and distinguish it from just another meal. But I also really find them quite unsatisfying. Like a big bang with no real hoorah.
I mean, who really needs another set of nail clippers, a plastic whistle, or a shoe horn?
