That magical time of year


Well its getting close to that magical time of year again and i cant wait, i just looooooove Xmas.

For me its not about receiving gifts its more about giving to others and getting together and having a celebration.
This will be fourth Xmas away from home and away from loved ones so will be quite isolating but and a big but it is..

I'm not going to let that stop us having a wonderful day.It may be only myself Hayden and Aaliyah OH and Pixie and Paddington but we can still have a lovely time.

I found a Xmas pudding at our supermarket made in NZ so its got to be a yummy one and well look forward to that.
I'm especially excited about how Aaliyah is going to find Xmas this year as shes a little bit older in saying that last Xmas we could have just got her 3 rolls of Xmas paper as she just so loved ripping the paper open and screwing it up and of course eating it.
I no your meant to wait until December 1st to put your tree up but when have i ever been one for tradition???? i have never put my tree up then i always can't wait that long.

This year though i may wait a little longer for the trees to go up as i think lil miss curiosity may want to get her fingers into everything.

I couldn't wait another day longer so i have now put up the decorations around the house and dressed the table etc. Aaliyah is so fascinated with everything and points but so far hasn't pulled anything down ( i no i no it will only be a matter of time).
I will wait until the weekend of the 27th November to get help from Hayds putting all our Xmas lights up as that i can't do myself and the trees will follow after that.


I love the spirit of Christmas and all the beautiful decorations that are around , the colours the jingling everything really and the carols of course.


One problem i have is my little Minnie is scared of Santa
Yesterday she was crying crying crying and in such a state i couldn't figure it out then i realized its the Santa's.
Shes not a cuddly clingy girl at all but yesterday she sat on my knee for 1.5 hours and once she stopped crying she would point to the Santa's and make a sobbing noise at them.
We have a Santa on the door that sings when you walk up to it, well Aaliyah wont walk out the door and is terrified of him even shakes.

If you have any suggestions of how i can tell my toddler that Santa isn't scary hes her friend that would be great as I'm a little stuck.
I have noticed its only the Santa's around the house that have glasses on that seem to scare her oddly enough.

The best gift at Xmas is easy to see
its not wrapped in paper or under the tree
Cos the best gift at Xmas and all the year through
is having a child as special as you !!!!
I love you Aaliyah

As i start to get better i feel much more positive and feel i have a good handle on this situation with my face. Its healing and is getting much better. Being inside was awful its so hard to not go out and enjoy the fresh air and do things, I also love the sun so having to avoid that is awful. Its funny to think that from now on i will have to wear a hat and cover up. Today for the first time i went to Story time at the library with Aaliyah and didn't wear a scratch of make up no moisturizer nothing (not that i had a choice in the matter) And it honestly didn't actually bother me at all. I even forgot that i wasn't wearing make up. Now coming from me who never leaves the house with out a full face of make up on , that is quite big. I actually feel really good about it and believe that this is my reason for this to happen to me, to help me grow as a person and feel more confident bearing all for the world to see. People that are naturally beautiful and used to not wearing m

Beautiful Sleep

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse

That crazy thing called Life experience

I find even though i may be growing older, Its true the older you get the more wise you become. Although i miss things about my youth ie. Having nothing to worry about other than myself & what i want to do that particular day & wear, The no responsibility's & being accountable for know one other than myself! And all other things associated with this type of thing. Basically that's all i do miss. You see i wasn't the nicest of people when i was younger & although i wouldn't change a lot of things i wish i had treated people nicer & respected myself more. The older i become the more i grow wiser & understand things better I also feel i am growing into my own person more and have my own Style and Flare. I am now confident enough to head in any direction i please with confidence that i will be excepted and its ok to make mistakes and not succeed at everything. I had loved Photography when younger but wasn't confident enough
