Why the greatest gifts of all can never be bought

December 23, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

I’ve found myself in an unsettled holding pattern this Christmas. Only three weeks after our big move to sunny Queensland we’ve returned to Melbourne with celebrations to share, school eras to complete and a final surgery for our daughter. I wasn’t ready to leave our new home so soon and I’m looking forward to going back. All […]

The easiest, simplest, greatest gifts of all and how to give them.

Christmas

I was wandering the shops for the third time that week, on a mission for those ‘just right’ gifts. I’m not complaining, in fact I enjoy Christmas shopping. I dedicate December to scouring the globe for that unexpected and useful delight, the one of a kind experience and that item to be adored. On this day things were going […]

As  far as traditions go this one has been a bit hit and miss over the years. It is my all day trip to “The City” at Christmas.  I live about 45 minutes drive from my beloved home city of Melbourne and any journey in there often becomes an all day adventure. Even when the […]

Santa Claus, Christmas and acrostics

Santa Acrostic

As a new Mum I was bursting with pride when the kids first began producing works of art.  I savoured that first moment with a crayon, carefully filed each new drawing away, marvelled as smiley faces were eventually given arms and legs. Nine years on and I am still excited, and at times in awe, […]

Christmas, Creativity and Pinterest a winning combination.

December 12, 2013 By Karen Main 4 Comments

At the moment I cannot find enough walls, shelves and places in our home to display all the artwork the children are creating for Christmas. I always remember making paper chains as a child and the endless glueing of cotton balls to paper as we created beards for Santa. Christmas is a creative time and […]
