    A Christmas Night in with Primula

    I know Christmas is supposed to be the season for the whole “Party Up” kinda thing (if you’ve ever been to Magic Kingdom and watched Move It Shake It you’ll have just got that reference and I hope you smiled). But as a single mother with no friends in my home town, it means I actually do no partying at all. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I had a night on the town.. how sad? But just because I’m stuck in doesn’t mean I can’t kick back, relax and feel the Christmas vibes. In fact, now that Little Miss is a little person rather than a baby,…

    Our Christmas Home

    For Blogmas Day 10, I just wanted to share an image heavy post featuring some photos of how our home looks during the Christmas period. This year I put our tree up on the 27th November and all the rest of the rest of the decorations up the day after. I put the lights and the tinsel on the tree then LM helped me put the ornaments on it. Our decorations are very Disney weighted, even our tinsel has Mickey heads on it. If every aspect of our life is Disney, why not Christmas too? I’m going to do a pots dedicated to my favourite tree ornaments later on during…

    What Little Miss Wore to her Christmas Party

    Today was Little Miss’ Christmas party at pre-school! She’s been so excited about it the last few days especially how they’ve been practising games and singing Christmas songs. As I mentioned in Blogmas Day 5, she’s really into Christmas this year. Yesterday she came home from pre-school with a folder with her handmade Christmas card in, a calendar, a tree decoration and a present from Santa Claus which was sweet. Then today of course she had her party which meant being there nearly the whole day as she attends a morning session and the party was held in the afternoon! She seems to have enjoyed herself and I just want…

    Blogmas Day 5 – A Trip to Meet Santa Claus

    A short post for Blogmas today but a rather special one. This is my first Christmas Life post and I’m excited to share. Today in the little village my parents live in there was a Christmas fayre where you could meet Santa Claus. Usually they have a great one on a Friday night where they have Santa in his sleigh with reindeer and he turns on the Christmas lights, but this year, for whatever reason, that was cancelled and instead the fayre happened on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t as busy (probably due to a lot of people working) but our family enjoyed it. There was cake, tea and coffee,…
