3 Day Cleanse/Juicing Experiment
Tuesday 15th November 2011
I am about to embark on a 3 day cleanse of only juices. I’ve never actually dieted or done one of these sorts of ‘cleanses’ and I have to say I’m actually nervous! I don’t have a lot of will power when it comes to food. But I really think it would be good to have a cleansing of the system and sort of reset my whole relationship with food. I went and purchased all my goodies to get me going on the juicing experiment and I will report back on what happens in the next 3 days! Wish me luck!
Lapland for the Ultimate Christmas Experience
Monday 14th November 2011
Some friends of ours were mentioning to us about taking the kids to Lapland for a christmas experience. Apparently elves pick you up from the airport and you stay in santa’s village. It’s the ultimate of ultimate christmas for the kids.
Stay: There’s the aptly named Hotel Santa Claus (http://www.hotelsantaclaus.fi), which is conveniently located near the Santa Claus village but there are plenty of less conventional options when it comes to accommodation in Lapland, including romantic log cabins, snow villages, ice hotels and even igloos. A Snow Castle is created annually at the port town of Kemi (http://www.snowcastle.net) and a snow village at Lainio near the ski resorts of Yllas and Levi. Here, you can opt to sleep on a bed of ice or choose from one of the cosy wood cabins dotted among the trees (http://www.snowvillage.fi). The Igloo Village Kakslauttanen is located in Saariselkä and offers a pick of over 30 igloos, including a honeymoon suite. And if you’re wondering where to get married beforehand, they even have an ice chapel too (http://www.kakslauttanen.fi).
Perfect Artwork Showcase
Friday 11th November 2011
I don’t know if you’re with me on this but Luna seriously comes home from nursery with tons of painting/drawing/mysterious ‘works of art’. I never have enough place to hang them and I feel like there’s just something wrong with tossing them in the bin. But after wall space is filled and I’ve already saved as many as I can in her special box of keepsakes I just don’t know what to do! Well ladies I’ve just spotted a great idea!!!! Check this photo out. They’ve gotten tons of the child’s art and shrunken it down and made 1 giant work of art showcasing all the child’s work! BRILL-IANT! Love it.
Cookie Time
Thursday 10th November 2011
We’ve been on a cookie baking streak at our house. Maybe it’s the weather? Makes us want to munch on some warm fresh baked cookies! One of the go to baking sites for me is definitely Bakerella. Check out the recipe for these amazing bites of heaven on her website. Enjoy!
Luna the Cow
Tuesday 8th November 2011
Luna is going to be a cow in her nativity play at nursery. She isn’t exactly thrilled can you tell? She keeps coming home saying ‘mummy I don’t want to be a cow, I want to be a pretty sparkly star like the other girls.’ I keep telling her the cow will be the hit of the show and cows can be pretty and sparkly too! So I have to somehow make this cow costume glitter!

My New Desk Area
Wednesday 2nd November 2011
I have finally gotten around to finishing working on the decor of our home. First up is the sitting room/office. Considering how much time I spend at the desk, I thought it would make sense to make it happy and inspiring. I created a mood board with fav photos and meaningful things. It makes me smile to see it. The best part is that the MT tape can be removed and re-used so I just move things around or add/remove as I need. It’s fun. I highly suggest it. xx
