Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Good evening, how are you all? I can’t believe it’s the 22nd December already- as per, this month has whizzed by in a blur of nativities, ice skating, visits to Father Christmas, grown up drinks and events, late nights all round and generally trying to avoid the dreaded lurgy before Christmas! 

You may (or may not) have noticed that it’s been pretty quiet round here, apart from a few ace brand collaborations, which is a.) because December is my favourite time of year, so busy, and it’s really the only time I decide to take off throughout the entire year so I don’t get too stressed and can really live in the moment and enjoy it and b.) if I’m being honest the baby really isn’t sleeping well right now, meaning that he’s often up in the evenings as well as randomly through the night, so I’ve been much more tired than usual and a little less motivated. I’m only human after all!

I can’t complain though as this year has largely been a good one: We completed out kitchen and bathroom renovations ridiculously quickly, started work on our garden (thanks Mum!), worked with some brilliant brands, and of course, welcomed the final piece of our family puzzle, our beautiful Arlo, into the world. 

It’s certainly been a busy one! 

Come January normal service will no doubt resume once more, and I’m sure I’ll be motivated again after this wonderful break. I’m excited for 2018- more bits of the house and garden to finish, a ski holiday in January to look forward to, HOPEFULLY more sleep (ha!)…. 

I know that whilst I love December, it can be hard for many people out there for various reasons, so I just want to wish you a peaceful time with loved ones, good health, and a very Happy New Year.

See you on the flip side, and thank you so much for reading and supporting this blog in 2017!
