Hey there friend and welcome! This week’s #romancingthehome theme or challenge was to create a romantic bedroom, just in time for Valentine’s day of course. Now, while I do love a bit of romance, we generally don’t celebrate Valentine’s day in our home. It just doesn’t fit in to who we are as a couple.
Can you believe that it nearly the end of January, because certainly can’t! I don’t know where the time has gone 🤷♂️. I hope that all those resolutions are still going strong! With this week’s #romancingthehome theme being “freshen up a forgotten space”, I have decided to show you what we have been up to… Read More Freshening up a forgotten space

But, as I… Read More A Christmas Tradition: Baking and decorating cookies
This week’s #romancingthehome challenge was decorating for the holidays. Now, I love Christmas (even though it is summer time for us) and I love Christmas decor. I can’t get enough of it. Drives my husband nuts 😂. He should be grateful that our major retailers seem to be rather lacking in that department, because I… Read More Decorating for the Holidays – Kids bedroom Christmas decor
This week’s challenge for #romancingthehome is a Christmas wreath. I love wreaths, I think that they are so pretty! They add beautiful colour and texture to a space. The problem is that here in South Africa, there are very few wreaths to be found. And the ones that can be found are usually way too… Read More DIY: An easy Christmas wreath
This week’s #romancingthehome theme is Christmas pudding. I don’t eat Christmas pudding. Luckily Christmas pudding doesn’t actually mean an actual Christmas pudding. It’s any Christmas dessert! So, with that, I decided to give you my 3 favourite easy summer Christmas desserts to make for those long, hot, summer Christmas days!
