I'm not the Expert, I'm the Experiment!
My Mindful Christmas Plans are well underway and for a change I actually feel organised and calm about Christmas. Letting go of all the hype and expectation makes it easier. Focusing on what’s important feels better. So without further ado, our Christmas Plans . . . Tradition and Meaning Teaching the kids about giving [...]

Making Christmas Gingerbread Cookies Last week I did a {Retro Crash} to introduce you to a fabulous English trifle recipe just in time for Christmas. I thought I’d throw in another tried and tested Christmas delight. My good friend Sally from Heavenly Cakes gave me this gingerbread foundation recipe. I used it a couple of [...]
The whole Northern Hemisphere Christmas theme just really doesn’t make sense when we try and replicate it down here. I mean, do we really need a stinking hot turkey on a stinking hot day?
