Embracing Winter Bliss: A New Mom's Journey into December

Hey, lovely readers! It's been a while since I last shared my thoughts and experiences with you. Life as a new mom has been a whirlwind, and the past two months have been a testament to the unpredictability of this beautiful journey. I missed our October and November newsletters, but I assure you, the adventures with my little one have been nothing short of magical. One thing I managed to do during this time is to update my vintage homeware shop, I’ll be adding more items this weekend. Take a look if that’s your thing or looking for unique gift ideas - I made a special discount code just for you, see at the end of the post :)

As I sit down to reflect on the past months, I realize that time truly does fly when you're creating lifetime memories. From sleepless nights to heart-melting giggles, every moment has been worth it. While my initial aspirations for regular updates in this space might have taken a back seat, the joy of being a mom has taken center stage.

Now that December is here, it feels like winter has officially arrived. Winter in my books begins with this festive month, bringing with it the promise of cozy moments and festive cheer. Despite the challenges, I am eagerly looking forward to what is often described as a 'gloomy' and 'dark' season. Why? Because there's a unique charm to winters in Scotland.

Yes, it's true that the weather can be wet and the days short, but that only adds to the allure. Picture this: sitting by the log burner, wrapped in a warm blanket, sipping on Winter spice tea that I brought back from Germany last year.

And let's not forget the simple joy of lighting candles and basking in the warm glow that fills the room. There's something magical about the ambient atmosphere during winter evenings, especially when accompanied by the aroma of a freshly baked cake. It's these small, comforting rituals that make the season special for me.

Despite the chill in the air, I believe that winter is a season of possibilities. Even in the midst of rain and darkness, there's a certain beauty to be found. This winter, I've compiled a list of activities that I'm eager to explore, each holding the promise of building more cherished memories with my little one.

1. Winter Strolls: There's a unique charm to winter walks, especially on crisp, sunny days. Bundled up in warm layers, my little one and I plan to explore the beauty of the season, from frost-kissed landscapes to festive decorations.

2. Indoor Adventures: For the days when the weather is less inviting, we're gearing up for indoor adventures. From playing sessions to cozy story time by the fireplace, there's a world of possibilities within the comfort of our home.

3. Baking Extravaganza: Winter is synonymous with baking in my household. I'm excited to experiment with new recipes, filling our home with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked treats. It's not just about the end result; it's about the joy of the process.

4. Festive Movie Nights: As the nights grow longer, we plan to cozy up with blankets and indulge in festive movie nights. There's something magical about watching classic holiday films that brings a sense of warmth and togetherness.

5. Winter Spice Tea Evenings: My winter evenings wouldn't be complete without a cup of my favorite Winter spice tea in a vintage mug. It's a comforting ritual that I look forward to, providing a moment of tranquility amidst the seasonal hustle and bustle.

As the days unfold and December brings its own set of surprises, I'm ready to embrace the winter season with open arms. Whether it's the sound of raindrops on the window or the crunch of snow underfoot, each moment is a precious chapter in this new mom adventure.

Stay tuned for more updates on our winter escapades, and I hope you find your own moments of joy and warmth in this festive season. Wishing you all a cozy and delightful December!
