10 Fun Activities to Do for Christmas
Let’s get festive. It is the most wonderful time of the year after all. And after the year we have had, we deserve a little fun – don’t we? No matter what age you are, there is always some fun to be had by all this time of the year. Christmas is my favourite time of the year. And I especially love that the festive vibe lasts all month. Though I do feel a little deflated by the time Boxing Day comes around, as a lot of the vibes have gone by then. There’s something to be said in the way we celebrate all things Christmas, for the entire month…

I’m Celebrating Christmas the European Way
Did you know in Europe, Christmas is celebrated as a season not just for the day? The season stretches far beyond Christmas Day, right up until the 6th January. And this isn’t to extend the shopping season, but rather to allow time to celebrate many holy days associated with Christmas. But, don’t worry, this will be my last Christmas post. Though, I am adopting a very European Christmas, channeling the vibes right up until the 6th December, I won’t be filling my blog space with useless Christmas content which no doubt none of you will appreciate now that it’s technically over LOL. Though I did want to share with you…

Where to See the Best Christmas Lights in Sydney

Castle Hill can be super congested at the best of times,…

DIY Gingerbread House
I made my very first gingerbread house – I can’t believe it has taken me this long to make one. Okay, so I semi-cheated on this one and actually purchased a a kit from Ikea to help me achieve my first first gingerbread house project. But it still required a lot of work to put the house together. Of course, it took a while for me to figure out the whole icing situation. I did follow a recipe I found online, as no icing comes with the gingerbread kit from IKEA. But the recipe wasn’t strong enough to hold the house and didn’t set fast enough – too funny. Here…

Christmas Decor – How I Decorated My Home
Wanting to adopt a woodsy theme for Christmas this year, I took to Pinterest for a little decorating inspiration to see how to channel by woodsy vibes. I wasn’t entirely successful – to a point. As I was trying to work with what I already had, so not to go out and spend too much money. I ended up with more of a country woody theme for my decor. Which I am fairly happy about in the end anyway. And IKEA was a life saver as they do sell some very cute little woodsy decor for Christmas. My fave are their red robins, which they sell every year, and every…
