Merry Christmas 2014

The lead up to Christmas this year has been quite relaxing and fun. We haven't had family visiting from overseas, but our friends made up for it.

I feel truly blessed and grateful for all the gifts of love, friendship and travel we received this year and for the simple, everyday things we most often take for granted, like spending time with our family and friends, preparing and cooking food together or being able to run without any injuries.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas filled with joy, peace and love! 

Christmas in July

I can't believe that I'm even thinking about doing the whole Christmas in July thing... but having moved to Australia 4 years ago from London has been very strange when it comes to Christmas. 

Being Croatian, and having a Danish hubby, we are very much used to having a cold, white Christmas every year. Since moving here though, we had to say goodbye to all those heartwarming dishes, real snow and evenings spent next to the fireplace, drinking red wine.

So, even though celebrating a Christmas in July is still a weird thing for me to contemplate, I can't help but look at our last Christmas photos and dream of a white Christmas...soon, I hope...
