Grieving through the joy of the season as I face my first Christmas as a single mama
The time of year characterised by spending, over-indulging, giving and jollification. Who doesn’t like the festive season? It is so much fun to decorate your tree and house and garden and spend hours and hours looking for the perfect gift, cooking the perfect meal and hosting the perfect parties. We get so caught up in the glitz and glamour, with all the pressure to have the best Christmas that we sometimes forget the real reason for celebrating this holiday. We forget that we have to keep Christ in Christmas.
It is that time of the year when every mama starts scratching her head about what to give her precious little girl. No matter if your girls are young or older, this seems to be an ongoing dilemma – what do you give her? Here are my favourite local gift ideas
This is your first year being a single mama, spending time with your kids over Christmas.

Ideas for making an advent calendar that emphasizes memories and not things. Experiences and activity based, no sweets, candy or little gifts.
Kids are amazing reminders of the wonder, joy and magic of Christmas. Here is how to ensure your little one understands the reason for Christmas, and enjoy it to the max at the same time
