ADVENT.

One month today until christmas. I am far too excited!

I really wanted to make Elle and Mia a handmade advent calendar this year but with my miminal sewing skills and the fact i am completely exhausted once the girls are asleep, i opted to buy this one. It wasnt expensive and it means i now have a whole year to make their one for next year!

The plan is to put little scrolls in with an activity for that day. Oh boy, the month of december is just going to be one whole long month of fun! I will make a video of her each day reading her scroll and during the day and then also make a book, taking a polaroid each day of her.
My maternity leave ends in two weeks though so every wednesday and thursday, i shall be working and the girls will be at nursery but i shall make sure the evenings are funfilled. I cannot believe i am due back to work! i dont want to leave Mia at nursery atall! I have hardly ever left her and i am so anxious about it but that is for a completely different post!

Geeze, im sick! There are coughs and colds going around right now and i seem to have caught both and when i get a cold, my body does not get one lightly! Que, MAN FLU! Last christmas, i was pregnant with Mia and i caught the swine flu! I sure hope this cold goes away soon as having two little ones to look after, i can not afford to be ill!

I couldnt fall asleep until 3:15am this morning as i just couldnt breath and get comfy and then i was then awake at 5 with Mia. I then had to get both girls ready and out the house for Mia's 8 month medical for 8:50am!! I think i nearly passed out in the street!!

So i am not cozy and all wrapped up in extra layers in bed and hopefully ill be well enough to go to Elle's ballet class in the morning.
