Very Small Feet

As you know I have been out in charge of Christmas dinner. And by default, husband was away, I had to sort out all the presents... and school engagements...  And I wished the Christmas would be here already some time around 15th December.  I found it all super stressful...  But as this blog post title suggests I learnt few things too.  Firstly I understand how stressful it is to cook the Christmas dinner/lunch. We agreed that next year we are doing it together.  Then it’s totally ok to ask for stuff that you want. But I did find it odd to do so and for the 1st time I bought stuff that hubby wanted and not to think about it my self. Made me feel very strange. But now I have the sleepers I wanted and tickets to see Scummy Mummies show.  It’s super fun to be just at home with just family. We didn’t have anyone over, just us. We did what we wanted and when we wanted.  And in the end of the day it is all about kids.  We played with new toys. At some po...

This year I thought instead of the rather pricy beauty advents I shall get myself a tea advent.  I got this one from Amazon for like £15  It seems like a good idea at the time...  Today is 26th of December and it’s only half drunk.  Some teas are great but I have this feeling that whoever designed these just chucked everything in.  Like just now I had Moroccan Spice which is herbal tea with cinnamon, chicory, licorice, peppermint, ginger and orange and all I could taste was licorice and mint. Maybe my palet isn’t that refined but so is your average person... So in total the tea discovery was interesting and fun, I most definitely don’t like roiboosh tea, but only 13 flavours and it got kind of boring. I will not be getting it again. Or maybe I just was so busy all December long... 

December is here. Busy month usually stress to get everything done ready and organise. Try to do this with the toddler, I challenge you to toddler off... oh no I don't want our kids to fight I want us to achieve as much as possible...  and its also my birthday month. Yeah last bit sucks... (made this one. Pre-cut joyful kit form Prima magazine) So December arrived on Thursday. And we have been busy ever since. Thursday we went to see the family in Talbot Green. Fab time. Friday came like a blur with trip to nursery for the little man and me doing all the usual house things... then on Saturday our nursery hosted the Christmas event to raise some money for charity and for everyone to get into the spirit of it all. It was lovely. I didn't want to go at 1st, the start time was interfering with lunch time. But then it was a gathering rater then an activity. So after the trip to ikea for the necessities, like picture frames and candle snuffle, game changer by the way,...

Second year in the row we moved in December. Worst time ever! I have complicated relationships with December. I always worked in hospitality so for everyone it is most wonderful time of the year for us it the busiest time of the year. It's mad! And by the end of that I really can't be bothered with all the Christmas thing and especially not the new year. I have seen too many drinks on that holidays. If it was in. Russia then yes please let's have New Year's party but here no no and no again. But for me December it is also my birthday. It is hard to get friends to come in due to Christmas parties for they are away so I would rather not celebrate sometimes. I know it is no one's fault but I do feel very needy and very alone when my peeps can't make it. But I understand! So last year we also moved from Brum back to Wales.... It all went terribly wrong with the rental so when I was supposed to plan holidays and enjoy my 4 month old looking at the Christmas l...

It will be just us with pets for Christmas.... Less responsibility and bit less stress. No crazy wrapping frenzy... It is actually nice, but we will be heading to Sunny Wales in January. Actually cannot wait to see everyone!! I was feeling bit down lately work been really stressful... for both of us. And pets can only cheer you up that much. Besides bunny doesn't like to hug much:) So today we had a little stroll throw the German market...   the warmth of the mulled wine:)     But I am actually almost done with Christmas shopping... Oh the stress of it... Now I m just shopping for my bday presents for my self:) Best kind of present really.   Also the tree is up     And both Molly the Cat and Daisy the Bunny had a go on brining it down or eating it. Don't they know it's not real and won't do them any good. Silly pets:)   I also have a box of baby oranges (baby oranges any satsumas, clementines and other similar...

What pops into your mind when you hear winter???  I think of baby oranges... any kind. Satsumas, clementines... anything orange that smells like Christmas and New Year! Ideally I want some real pine or fur tree next to my oranges for a full effect..  Anyone knows where I can find some brunches of the fur trees in Cardiff??  And then I think what do to for my birthday?! I booked I think 4 days for the occasion... These lovely lights are in the shops and on the streets of Cardiff... At the moment I'm looking for my birthday present for my self...  These are super special!  Oh and Winter is coming... yeah I said it! I really need to get on with Game of Thrones books!
