Picking our Tree at Christmas Wrapped Up

Having a real tree is something that just feels magical! Being able to bring home a bit of the indoors for a little bit is something we’ve always done as a family. For the last couple of years, we’ve really grown to love our tradition of going to Christmas Wrapped Up, which is a local tree farm that feels so fancy. They sort of make an experience out of getting these trees. Behind the actual bit where they are selling their trees that have been freshly cut, they do have their growing trees ready for people to take pictures in, which we hadn’t explored until this year!

Meeting Santa at Woolwich Works Candy Grotto

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to Christmas magic, one of the things that most people do is visit Santa!

Project 365 – November

This month, we went from Autumn to Christmas feeling, both in our house and outside! We didn’t travel anywhere, but did get a lot of use out of being home. Dann and I had a lot of events this month, and we all did so many fun activities as a family. It’s been fun documenting each day, and I cannot believe the year is almost over. This blog post is a part of Project 365 which is where people take a picture and document each day of their lives for a year. Some post monthly like me, others post daily or weekly!

The Best Gifts for Foodies

[Ad- gifted products – Updated on November 29th, 2025 to add more gift ideas] I would define myself as a foodie and receiving gifts around Christmas, I really enjoy food-themed gifts! As I love food, I have picked out a bunch of food-related gifts for foodies like myself, from silly gifts to more serious gifts, there is a lot to enjoy in this list.

Organic Cocoa Powder

As a foodie myself, sometimes I just want some premium ingredients! In the new year, one of my favorite things to make are chocolate truffles, for Valentine’s Day. Getting Organic Cocoa Powder around Christmas is literally perfect for me, and the containers from Food Thoughts contain 100 percent natural cocoa powder, without any added sugar, additives and flavorings, which gives me the freedom to use them in baking and cooking however I want. This ingredient is very premium and high quality, making it a fantastic gift.
