A Day Out at Lumagica – Light festival with impressive illuminations

Dann and I have been pretty into light festivals over the last few years. We have gone to Lightopia, Chihuly: Reflections and Ashford Illuminates – which have all had a different feel to them. When in Norway, we figured we’d check out Lumagica, which seems to be a worldwide light festival, but is not one either of us had heard of or attended before.

Christmas Dinner for Two with QBag

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to Christmas time, there are normally huge, elaborate dinners that could feed a family of ten. It doesn’t make much sense to cook a bunch of different sides when there is only two of you. My family live in an entire different continent, which means that I am probably not having a huge Christmas dinner most years. And, sometimes, you just want a large Christmas-themed dinner mid December, to get yourself into the spirit. QBag is a perfect solution for this, as you can cook an entire Christmas dinner in one bag, with very little clean up. This recipe is one that you can shift and change depending on what you want in your Christmas Dinner.

A Day Out at Larkins Farm for Christmas Trees

[Ad- gifted experience] Earlier, before all of the trees were ready, we got a chance to check out Larkins Farm and explore their Christmas Trees! Larkins Farm is a local Christmas tree farm, that has a variety of different Christmas trees waiting to be brought home for Christmas. These trees are grown naturally, with weeds all around them and free of pesticides, but have been cut down and placed into an empty field, so that people can explore them and pick out the ones they want. Larkins Farm is known for having natural and real trees – and as it is a family tradition to go out and pick out our Christmas tree, we were excited to select one!
