One day at a time. Take a breath and say it again.💫
.
This time of year can get overwhelming. Juggling work load, social commitments, Christmas gift shopping, kid school-holiday planning and Christmas menu arrangements - all while trying to get enough sleep, not overeating, drinking enough water and not overdoing the wine!🤯
.
Worse still if you are facing your first, or yet another, Christmas without a loved one. It really can be such a difficult time of year.💔
.
So when you feel overwhelm creeping in - remind yourself...Just do today. 💖
.
Happy Monday. 💥

Latvian honey cake deliciousness!🍰
.
Just one of the many reasons I love having Latvian blood coursing through my veins! 🇱🇻
.
Yesterday we went to the @brisbane_latvian_community Christmas market where we were treated to this piece of heaven for dessert! 🥰

Food traditions are just one part of rich legacies that are passed down from generation to generation. 💖
.
Do you have a traditional food favourite that has been passed down to you? 💋

Last Milton School swim carnival for Teja was a clean sweep (of sorts)!😁
.
2nd in Freestyle, 3rd in Backstroke, 4th in Breaststroke and 5th in Butterfly! 🏊‍♀️
.
For a kid that does not do squad or train AT ALL she is chuffed! But her encouragement of others who beat her - was the stuff that makes us most proud! 🥰

Taking a few moments to write a few thank you notes to some people who have gone the extra miles with me this year!💖
