Nothing brings the festive spirit to life quite like a family gingerbread house competition ✨🏠 Laughter in the kitchen, icing-covered fingers, a little friendly rivalry and plenty of sweet memories made along the way. It’s not about who wins — it’s about coming together, slowing down and celebrating the magic of being present with the people you love 🤍 Moments like these are the ones worth journalling and holding onto long after the holidays are over. #MyLifeJournal #FestiveMoments #GingerbreadHouse #FamilyTraditions #HolidayMagic

Moments like these are the ones worth journalling and holding onto long after the holidays are over.

✨ Lazy hot summer days with the cats ✨ There’s nothing better than slow afternoons spent stretched out in the shade, listening to the cicadas and watching the fur babies melt into little puddles of purrs. Long naps, warm breezes and soft whisker kisses — this is summer at its sweetest. ☀️🐾 #SummerWithCats #CatLife #LazyDays #HotSummerVibes #MyLifeJournal CatMumsOfInstagram AussieSummer FurBabyLove

Step 3: DONE ✨🎄 And just like that… the tree is officially complete. I love watching how people decorate their trees, and some are simply amazing. Like my sister in law’s tree. For me, I like things more traditional and with a whole lot of decorations in all shapes and sizes - including real pine cones 🌲 The warm weather made this year’s decorating a slow, steady process — but the final result was so worth it. ✨ Thanks for following along… the Christmas magic has truly arrived. 🌟🎁 #ChristmasTree #ChristmasVibes #FestiveSeason #HolidayMagic #ChristmasDecor TreeDecorating TisTheSeason HomeForTheHolidays FestiveFeels ChristmasInspo DeckTheHalls

On Sunday we wandered through the beautiful, timeworn grounds of Old Rouse Hill House — a quiet pocket of history tucked into Sydney’s northwest. Exploring its gardens and preserved rooms felt like stepping back in time, and learning about the Rouse family’s legacy gave the day an even deeper meaning. There’s something grounding about visiting places where stories still linger in the walls. ✨🏡 #RouseHillHouse #SydneyHistory #MyLifeJournal #HistoricHomes #SydneyWeekends #ExploreNSW #HeritageSites #SundayAdventures #HistoryLovers #TravelDiary
