It always starts with a list, doesn’t it? The presents to buy, the food to prep, the events to remember. We think we’re staying organised — but somewhere between “buy tape” and “remember the elf,” the list becomes something else. It becomes pressure. So this year, let’s rewrite it. Not the never-ending kind of list […]
The magic always starts quietly, doesn’t it? A Christmas song on the radio, a few twinkling lights in the shops, your little one spotting the first decoration and lighting up like it’s the North Pole. You can almost feel their excitement bubbling — and with it, the early signs of too much. The later bedtimes. […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like… chaos, right? The lists are growing, the invites are rolling in, and the mental load? Let’s just say it’s heavier than the Christmas pudding. As much as I love this season — the lights, the laughter, the sparkle — I know how easy it is for joy to […]
Before we dive into setting goals and intentions for the new year, let’s hit pause and reflect. It’s so easy to get caught up in what’s next that we forget how far we’ve already come. Looking back on your year isn’t just about celebrating the big wins — it’s about honouring the small, everyday moments […]
The Hustle is Over. Now What? The Christmas chaos is behind us. The presents are unwrapped, the kitchen has worked overtime, and we’ve ticked off all the traditions we hold dear. You’ve spent weeks planning, prepping, and making it magical for the people you love most. It’s been beautiful—but let’s be honest, it’s been a […]
Let’s take a deep breath together, tea in hand. Christmas is coming, and I know you’re already feeling that mix of excitement, exhaustion, and just a bit of pressure. You’ve got the lists, the plans, the ideas to make it magical. But somehow, the season always feels like it’s rushing past, doesn’t it? And as […]
Ever since becoming a mama, Christmas has taken on a whole new meaning. There’s magic in seeing it through little eyes—the joy of decorating the tree, the wonder of twinkling lights, and the excitement of counting down the days. But let’s be honest—there’s also a lot to juggle. Between the endless to-dos, events, and gift […]
Let’s talk Christmas movies – but not the usual suspects like Polar Express, Elf, Christmas Chronicles, or Love Actually. Don’t get me wrong, those classics deserve their yearly moment in the spotlight, and I know you’ll watch them anyway. Instead, I want to share a list of Feel-Good Christmas Rom-Coms that are less talked about […]
Before becoming a mama, I never imagined how much Christmas changes after kids. Back then, it felt like a peaceful exhale—a time to recharge, relax, and reflect. I’d have virtual Christmas parties with family on the other side of the world, enjoying the freedom to chat at odd hours without worrying about time zones. I’d […]
Christmas with kids is a whole different ballgame, isn’t it? Between the endless to-do lists, wrapping presents at midnight, and keeping little hands off the tree, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But let me tell you, it doesn’t have to be this way. You can enjoy Christmas with kids—and no, it doesn’t require Pinterest-worthy decorations […]
