My kids are old enough to start putting up the Christmas tree themselves! So Spotify is churning out the classics and I can supervise from a comfy chair?

We splashed out to replace our tired artificial tree we’ve had for a decade or so (not that we’re throwing it out) and the house smells very Christmassy with cinnamon and orange strands on the tree. It’s amazing what we have available these days!


Okay so it’s still November but we’ve had lots of fun today making memories! That’s what counts, right? And last night we had fireworks at a friends house! Life is returning to us, slowly.


I didn’t get out to plant those bulbs! There’s always next week!!! Seasons greetings everyone!
