Merry Christmas to all my wonderful blog readers! Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas filled with so much love and laughter!
This is such a special one for our new little family of three celebrating Ruby’s first Christmas ! I can’t believe how much has changed since this time last year - it has been the most unexpected, surprising, challenging at times and just absolutely incredible year and I just feel so so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support.

Today I’m sharing how we’ve decorated our home for Christmas this year. Hopefully it can give you some inspiration and ideas if you’re also living in a small space!
Our decorations aren’t particularly fancy, but I love how adding a few small touches and playing around with styling can really make your place feel so cozy and festive! When it comes to decorating a small space it’s all about being a little creative, re-purposing what you already have and being intentional when adding new pieces to your home.
Christmas Traditions
Have you seen that meme that's floating around about "The Two Kinds of People at Christmas"? Well I'm very firmly in the Elf category - I absolutely love this time of year - the decorations, the weather (I'm a summer lover and despite the magic of a white Christmas, hot summery days just scream Christmas to me - what can I say, I'm an Aussie!), and the fact that people just all round seem nicer and kinder this time of year!
For some reason though I haven't been feeling particularly Christmassy yet (and it's already Christmas Eve!) so I thought I'd share a few of our Christmas traditions - some old, some new - in the hopes that it will leave me feeling a little more festive and give you some inspiration too!

Hello :)
Merry Christmas!
It's now boxing day in Australia but I thought I'd quickly share a few festive photos from when we were in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.
It was quite a short stop in Melbourne - we were only there for one night, but we had the morning to walk around before heading to the airport and on to Tasmania.
There were some beautiful Christmas lights and decorations around the city, and I really loved walking through Royal Arcade (where most of these photos were taken) as it was looking particularly festive. There was a really beautiful store there selling Babushka dolls and Christmas baubles from Russia that were so beautiful!
We had a lovely time just strolling around and feeling that festive, magical vibe, so I hope you enjoy these photos!
I hope you've had a really lovely Christmas!
Lots of Love
Lauren
