Happy Monday everyone! I bet it is a happy one this week and not like other Mondays most folk seem to dislike?
It’s my lovely mum’s birthday today – Happy Birthday mummy! We love you oh so dearly and are ever so grateful for everything that you do for us… The older my daughter gets, the more and more thankful I feel for all my mum’s hard work and unconditional love! I think this post kind of summarises it all…
My kid is officially off school until January now, which makes this week even more exciting and I get a lot to look forward to. Extra cuddles in bed with a little messy haired monster that crawls in to our bed at 7am on her days off (the perks of being self-employed). Pancakes for breakfast every morning because she knows how to make them and wants nothing else (I need more baggy jumpers). And of course the preparations for our Christmas celebrations, which will involve more stuff that isn’t doing any good for my waist – we are making desserts for Christmas dinner we’re having at my sister’s. Not sure if any of the puddings will be suitable for my HEALTH section, but we’ll try to share some of our recipes with you, we just need to decide what we’re doing to please everyone…
But yeah, lets talk some fashion… I have so many special looks to share with you over the next couple of weeks with some of my favourite brands, but first, lets enjoy a little bit of casual party chic. Take off my maxi cardigan and I could almost fit in at a “black tie do”. Take off my heels and swap them for some trainers – your busy momma’s off to do the food shopping, school run and the rest (I’d need more than one sentence for it all). Adding a bit of sparkle with the bag and we’re Christmas! And this is exactly what I did in one day… well…maybe not the black tie, but I did go out to a semi-corporate work-related Christmas coffee, then my heels got swapped for the trainers and I went on with my day…
What are you all doing for Christmas? Are you running about like me?
PS! If you have any Christmas dessert recipes you absolutely love, please share – I need do create something super amazing!!!
