So we host the family christmas now that we have our lovely extended home and the only little kids, and i am unusual it seems in that i dont find it stressful. Probably because I am a fairly casual host! Though we do do a full hot lunch with turkey,ham, lamb and roast veg and a nice side - this year is pancetta and fetta green beans and roasted plums. We provide champagne - the nice stuff and have Christmas  Eve with drinks and platters on the deck. And i always feel blessed and peaceful.

However this year i am currently sitting in a medical centre waiting for x rays on a possible broken finger from a painful horse riding fall. And i hurt! suddenly all the cleaning, cooking and organising i had planned isnt so easy to do! going to have to rely on others this year, something i am not normally good at.

Life is always that little more complicated on a property! but its a merry christmas none the less with my two beautiful excited girls.

May your Christmas be as fun but possibly a little more pain free!

Ouch! That does make preparing for Christmas a little harder.

Hopefully it isn't broken and your Christmas preps can get back on track.

Ps I hope the pain subsides too!

About Me

Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
