It has been quite a strange year and with the lockdowns and isolation we as a family felt the need to put up our Christmas decorations although the eldest daughter keeps telling me its too early. She has just turned 13 and seems to have lost her Christmas spirit, thankfully the younger one who is 11 is as excited as she has always been.
As an older Mum with peri-menopause symptoms, sometimes its hard to be fun and lively. I must say losing hormones makes me feel rather grumpy and I have a can't be bothered attitude (ha a bit like a teenager) so I am thankful at this time in my life I do have a fun and energetic daughter to keep me feeling happy and to give me get up and go.
This is our tree and for the first time I let the girls decorate it themselves, I think they did a lovely job. Don't let them know I moved a few ornaments.
As I mentioned in my last post I love entering competitions and this time of year is the best with so many advent competitions around. I have compiled a list on my Advent Competitions page and I will add to this as I see/find new ones.
Please feel free to use this list and share with your friends.
