Hello Monday! ✨ . It's been a slow start to 2022

Hello Monday! ✨
.
It's been a slow start to 2022 over here (is it ever anything else?) and we've all been struggling to get into the swing of routine again (so far my word of the year would be sluggish 😂😂 - pregnancy fatigue has got me good right now).
.
Between living without a kitchen, spending life mostly upstairs while renovations happen downstairs and being in the final stages of pregnancy, my creativity has been waning so far this January. Going to try and pick up my camera again this week and kick start a new year of photos! ❤️
.
What's your favourite thing to document in these cold dark days? ❄️🌸🥰 | #januaryblues #januaryphotos

When the matches are so cute, you don't actually want to use them! 💕
.
Still enjoying this in between time not knowing what day it is, eating all the food, watching films (we are on 2 watches of Encanto already 🤣) and enjoying new Christmas goodies (that's toys for Evie and stylish boxes of matches for me 🥰).
.
Back home tomorrow for a few more days of chill time before we need to start packing up our belongings ready for our kitchen reno 🥴😩! Not ready to start thinking about that yet though... 🤣🎄✨ | #stylingtheseasons #flatlayphotography #seasonalstyling

Ready for a day of PJ's, movies, playing with new toys and eating leftovers! 😍😍

Boxing day has to be one of the best right? 🎄☕✨ | #happychristmas

From our family to yours, wishing you a wonderful Christmas! ✨❤️ #happychristmas

We made it on the Santa Express!! 🚂🎅
.
All of these experiences which had to be missed last year, and were booked with such hope this year, are now slightly marred by constant testing and wondering if saying yes to one will jeapordise another 😭. But thankfully all was well and I'm so glad we did it as Evie loved every second! A new December tradition I think 🥰.
.
Happy Christmas Eve! We've made it to family and are very ready to relax, eat, drink and be merry (if we can just persuade a certain someone to sleep tonight 😂). Have a wonderful holiday everyone! 😍❤️✨ | #christmaseve #itsthemostmagicaltimeofyear #santaexpress

The fake wrapping I do for instagram every year is always super enjoyable... the real wrapping that seems to happen in a rush the night before? Not so much 😂😂!
.
Anyone else super last minute with all the wrapping this year? I've got Emily in Paris, a hot chocolate and need to crack on tonight 🤦 🎁❤️...

Gorgeous wrapping paper from @anniedornansmith for this year's muted theme 💕! #allwrappedup #xmashashtagchallenge #christmaswrapping

Hot chocolate season!! ☕🍫✨
.
If like me you need a vegan/dairy free alternative (because why miss out??), this is my go-to way to make it...
.
- In a pan (or microwave if you find easier!) heat a cup of your fave dairy free milk (I like either almond or coconut for hot chocs)
- once warmish, add a couple of spoons of dairy free choc chips/buttons/couple of squares of chocolate with a spoon of sugar and a spoon of cocoa
- whisk until it's all melted then pour into your best festive mug, and top with a dairy free whipped cream and/or marshmallows
.
Delish!! P.s how cute are these mug toppers from @thebestbit.create.decorate.eat 🥰🌟🎄 | #hotchocolateseason #hotchocolate #dairyfreehotchocolate

Keeping the magic alive! ✨✨

6 sleeps to go! We're avoiding the news and enjoying the Christmas festivities with one very excited 4 year old and one very active bump 🤪❤️!

P.s decorating the tree in your pants is how all the cool kids are doing it these days 🤣🤣! 🎄🌟😘 | #xmashashtagchallenge #magicofchristmas #decoratingthetree

Picked up our Christmas tree this weekend! ✨🎄

Picked up our Christmas tree this weekend! ✨🎄🙌
.
It was the wettest, coldest and windiest tree day we've had in a few years, and not yet knowing our new area too well, we definitely missed the picturesque tree farms of South Manchester when we found ourselves freezing and bracing gale force winds at the top of a muddy hill choosing the perfect spruce to chop down 🤣. A hot drinks van and a sprinkling of festive cheer wouldn't have gone amiss (is that the ex PR in me?) but we got the goods and now have a cute fat lil tree lighting up our flowery living room! 😂
.
It's hard not to feel disappointed when things don't turn out the way you imagined, especially at Christmas when there's even more pressure to have those perfect festive days making wonderful memories. The perfectionist in me struggles when I don't get the photos I want and this is usually one of my favourite days of the year so I must admit I got a bit down. Reminding myself that family life is rarely picture perfect, I'm pregnant and can't do it all, and the McDonald's lunch we had afterwards can be just as great a memory as any of the insta worthy events. 🥴❤️🎄 | #treeday #ohchristmastree #aseasonalstyle
