Valentine’s Day is only a few nights away. And if Valentine’s is not your thing, why not host a Galentine’s Day get-together for your friends on 13 February?

I often find myself staring at the girly toys or clothes in stores & wondering who I can buy the glittery pink things for. What can I say? I am a girl-girl. I like girly things & pink & glitter. And I wouldn’t mind having a girl of my own either. But in reality, I’m […] Read more…
I didn’t grow up with the tradition of an Advent Calendar, so imagine my delight when I first encountered one at the age of 16 in Germany!

It is no secret that I simply LOVE shopping. And to say that I am a serious Christmas* fan is quite an understatement. The planning & lead up to it is the best part for me. Living with a 6-year old adds to the excitement & build-up for Xmas. Oliver already has his Christmas wish […] Read more…
