Yule on the way

Now that yule is only a month way I am looking at getting reading for the Winter Solstice and what we can do with the boys to make it rememerable for both of them. We already have a pine tree from next year in the garden and will be looking at getting another one this year or just decorating the one in the garden. My son wants us to put up lights so that we can see the house from outside I have said yes but have not decided on batteries or mains power ones. I am also looking at solour powered too. So will take a look over the weekend and see what happens I will be putting them up during the day so that they can light up the house on the 21st. I also need to set a budget and stick to it.

Making your own gifts and decorations this year 2017

Making your own gifts and decorations this year.

This year now that both of my children are older I am looking at celebrating this year with them fro the fist time and to try and teach them the true meaning of the festive season.

For me it is “The Gift of Giving” so we are in the process of doing this and celebrating Yule.

So this year their dad is already underway with making the boys their Yule gift and I am looking at decorating the house and what food and events that we are going to take place.

So it is the 20^th November 2017 and a month before I will be looking at decorating the house and the tree.

So where do I start.?

One of the things that I am looking at is what I have in the house and how I can use what I have instead of buying things new and also about what I can forage from the !!br0ken!!

One thing that I have been looking at is the following links fro inspiration and Facebook pages and group that I am in.

Cloves

one of the things that I am looking at for The festive season is buying Cloves.

What are Cloves?

Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum. They are native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, and are commonly used as a spice. Cloves are commercially harvested primarily in Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Madagascar, Zanzibar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania. Cloves are available throughout the year.

Buying them “Fair Trade”

http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/en/what-is-fairtrade

Beacuse they they are from over seas I am looking at buying them fair trade and to also look at selling them whole sale when I set up my own business. I am looking at selling dried products for making things with in the future. Cloves can be brought al year and can be purchased form any supermarket so why use them them fro the Winter Holidays what makes them so important?

Health benefit can be found by following the links below.

Cloves are a good source of manganese, selenium, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin K, dietary fibre and vitamin C.

http://www.antioxidants-for-health-and-longevity.com/benefits-of-cloves.html

http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/cloves.html

What do they have to do with the Winter Holidays?

With cloves coming to the UK from places like Indonesia but the region with the largest production is Zanzibar in eastern Africa; most people know of Cloves being Used in Mulled Wine and Christmas Cake.

Now that the UK is so divested with culture, and traditions it would be nice to see Cloves used more and why not start by using them at this time of the year to decorate the home and in cooking.

Make Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander

This is the art of using Cloves and Oranges to decorate the home and to give as gifts of family and friends at this time of year. For the history y of Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander please follow this link below.

One thing that Make Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander look like are Chirstingles.

What is Christingle?

Chirstingles is a lighted candle symbolizing Christ as the light of the world, held by children at a special Advent service originating in the Moravian Church.

It is sally on the First Sunday of advent which is a Christian way of celebrating this time of year. You can attend a Christingle celebration at your local church and get a christingel as part of the services whilst collecting money for charity.

5th November 1605: Guy Fawkes discovered during Gunpowder Plot

Week before

Week before Nursery starts.

I can not believe that the summer holidays is almost over. And that both of my children will be off to nursery. I think to myself BREATH! 15 hours a week and no children. The only reason that this happening is due to be being able to claim the 2 year funding.

I think to myself IF I did not get the two year funding what would have done? Only my oldest would be nursery and the youngest still at home. BUT that is not bad thing, after all children grow up so fast. You blink and you miss it.

I have worked since I was 15years old so now it is time to have a break to be a mum and take care of someone other myself full time.

SO 15 hours per week what is my plan? Thinking about it, I only have 3 hours per week after dropping them off each day and waiting to pick then up to really do anything.

So I ham going to try and put a plan together and take things from there. The main thing that I would like to do is be more clutter “FREE and to remove any thing from my life that I no longer need.

I am looking at sorting out all of my books first and only keeping the ones that I love, need and are not damaged.

Since having the boys, I have read more and this is something that I love to do and wish I had more time to do.

So my first Aim is to read one book by Christmas and work on my own book to get the final prof reading over and done with.

So this weekend I will spend it with my children finish and before “nursery” shopping and get ready for the first week back.

The event is to comenorate the women who worked the water ways during World War 2 when there was a shortage of men to crew and canal network and deliver vital supplies such as coal. During the war these courageous women where given the nickname (idle women.) But these women whee far from idle epically when they were given the task of managing 72ft narrow boats and 50tons of cargo.

To Celebrate the 75^th Anniversary Kate Baffin and Heather Wastie will bring Isobel's War and Idle women Judies to waterside venues to recreate the journey that the women took (London-Birmingham-Coventry-London.)

They will be travelling with a show Called The Alarum Theatre and an historic narrow boat called Trench. With the support of public funding by the National Lottery through the Arts Council England.

One of the places that they are looking at stopping at is Nuneaton due to the Griff Clara Number four Collieries that was once in Nuneaton.

LENT

LOOK TO THE FUTURE!  Up until today I did not not what I was going to do thought out LENT this year.

LOOK TO THE FUTURE!  Up until today I did not what I was going to do thought out LENT this year.  After my appointment with the DWP to day this is what I am going to do and trying to achieve over the next 40 days and 40 nights.

I wonder how many other people should thing about doing the same?

When I looking and thing about Lent and what it is about, one of the main things that it is about is "Forgiveness."  It is the time before Easter and when Christ died of our sins and then was born again.

Then when he was dying on cross he was to have said "forgive them farther, for they know what, what they do."

This is the same with many people though out their lives that they do what they think is the right thing to do at the time and then have to spend the rest of their life, living with their actions.

In time to forgive other becomes easier.  "forgive out trespasses as we forgive those, who trespass against us."  The hardest thing in the world is to give yourself.

It is always easier to blame others, pass the blame and to not blame your self when things go wrong.  After all no one is completely blameless, or are they?

So over the next 40 days and 40 nights I will try to forgive.  Maybe then I will feel better about myself and be able to move forward.

I am just scared to do so.

A New Year A New ME 2017

New Year New Me!

Now that it is 2017 it is time to think about a “NEW ME”. Now that I am in my 30’s and a full-time mum. It is time for me to start looking at some “Life changes” that will not just benefit me but my children too.

1. Drink and Eat more healthy
2. Exercise
3. De-Clutter my life
4. Limit to being on life for no more than two hours per day.
5. Save £1,000
6. Look at going back to work
7. BE HAPPY WITH WHO I AM!

What I am going to do is start the new year by reading more of the books that I have shelved and then putting them on my travel book page and eBay of sale.

I am going to start by reading the following,

1. EcoBeauty Scrubs, Rubs, Masks and Bath Bombs for you and Your Friends. By Lauren Cox With Janice Cox ISBN Number 978-1-580-08852-7
   To help me save more money but making my own beauty products and to also reduce and reuse and recycle where ever I can.
2. Confident Children Help Children feel good about themselves By Gale Lindenfield ISBN978-0-7225-3956-9 To help raise my children and to try and create I more happy and safe home.
3. The Toddlers Busy Book 365 Creative Games and Activities to keep your 1-1/2 to 3 years old Busy. By Trish Kuffner ISBN 0-88166-357-3 To help raise my children and to try and create I more happy and safe home and to help to home educate my two boys.
4. BBC What Not To Wear part 2 for every occasion Accompanies the new ten part television series By Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine ISBN 0-297-84355-9. This was a book that I got for Christmas a few years ago as a “joke” by an old friend of mine who thought I need some fashion tips.
5. The 7-day Zone diet join the low- carb revolution! 7 Days that will change your life forever By Barry Sears, Ph. D. ISBN 0-00-770286-8 to help me lose the added two stone that I have gained since having my youngest son in 2015.

So all I need to do now is stay on track and get reading.
