Christmas at the Cottage
I’m sure many of you know we moved into our tiny little cottage earlier this when Covid hit. And I’ve been waiting all year to decorate it and do Christmas at the cottage.
Christmas Table Styling
This time last year I hosted our annual girls Christmas dinner, which you can read about here, but I never actually did a blog post on it because of the terrible bushfires. Only now does it feel right to post it, …
Girls Christmas Dinner
With all the terrible bushfires here last Christmas, it never felt right to post about trivial stuff when much bigger things were going on. So only now do I feel it’s appropriate to share our Annual Girls Christmas Dinner from …
Homemade Christmas Butter
If you’re not a fan of overly sweet cranberry sauce on your poultry at Christmas, but still love all the traditional flavour companions like cranberries, oranges and herbs, then this Christmas Butter is for you! I know what you might …

Spiced Marmalade Nut Glazed Ham
Oh, how I love a Christmas glazed ham!? In fact, it’s one of my absolute favourite things about Christmas. And even though every summer I severely overdose on ham, I can’t help but get terribly excited at the end of …
Handmade Christmas Napkin Bon Bons
I know some of you are traditionalists and might say “it’s not ‘Christmas’ unless you have a Christmas cracker/bon bon to pop open”. I myself really do love the tradition of it, but truly, there’s not much going on inside …
