Hi guys and happy Christmas Eve! I hope all of you had a lovely day today, full of friends, family, and fond memories in the making! For this last day of Blogmas, I’m posting a proper (rambling) blog post about how we spent our rather non-traditional Christmas Eve Day. After sleeping in this morning (for […]

22 December, 2016.Reading time 1 minute.

Hello guys! Can you believe it’s the 22nd already? Thanks to the new “Memories” feature in the iCloud Photostream, my mobile has been bombarding me with Christmassy nostalgia all week. Here are a few from around Christmas 2012. Evie was 2 that Christmas and we went a bit overboard with the presents as it was the […]

Hello guys and welcome to Blogmas Day 21. Well, it’s winter at last. Snowy, cold, and dark. While I love Christmas, I wouldn’t mind a trip to the southern hemisphere about now. 🙂 Winter brings together all of the elements that make getting out of bed in the morning an uphill battle. That isn’t exactly ideal […]

Hello guys! For the first year in many, I can say with confidence (and amazement) that I am ahead of the Christmas game. My shopping is done, gifts (mostly) wrapped and under the tree. If I didn’t have my work to keep me busy, the wait would be excruciating about now! Waiting to give a gift […]

Hi guys! Can you believe there are only 10 days until Christmas! For this week’s Throwback Thursday I was inspired to post this nostalgic photo. I can’t say how old I am for sure here, but likely younger than Evie is now. When I remember being a kid in winter, it always seems like there […]

Blogmas Day 14: December Glossybox-First Impressions

14 December, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

Hi guys! Happy 14th day of Blogmas! As I type this, a snowstorm rages outside, gusting madly at the windows, and dragging the lawn furniture I failed to put away to destinations unknown (hopefully not the neighbor’s garden). I’m sitting by the fire, wishing I had a hot cup of tea, but too lazy to make […]
