Christmas traditions
.
The best thing about Xmas is the little things we do year on year to build memories that will last a lifetime.
.
The baking, the walks, the visit to Santa and the making of reindeer food. These small activities are what bond us as a family, the things that can be carried over the land and over the years, the comforting feeling of coming home regardless of where our house is or where we are emotionally.
.
If you see someone with their tree up early or creating crafts in November remember that it’s these things that act as a security blanket in hard times.
.
Once the stocking are hung, once the festive routines creep into our day to day, I pray our children will feel warmth and the consistency that’s been lacking this year
.
Christmas isn’t just a load of fuss for one day… it’s family… is magical, it’s unconditional love and it’s a great healer.

Anyone else planning their Xmas food already?! Last year I was honoured to get to work with @devonlyflavours , photographing their tasty spice and herb mixes.

I thought I’d show you some of their gorgeous products as the lovely Talitha as recently updated her website for the festive season

I can’t wait to mull some wine and pick out our turkeys marinate again this year.

Will you be shopping small this Xmas? supporting some mama led businesses too?

My story views have halved, my posts seem to crash and burn, but with my favourite season to create ahead I won’t let that stop me.

Life has been tough. I’ve bored away many with talk of trauma yet I can’t wait to switch on those fairy lights to end the year on a high!
