Finding joy in every day life
Hello, I am Dina, a mom, a wife and a person who loves life. This blog is my virtual jar of notes on what brings me joy in day to day life. It includes time with kids, time without kids, food recipes and much more.
Light Toys for the Dark Season
The dark season is upon us. December is the darkest month of the year, but also the most sparkling! All the decorations on the streets and outside the houses make me think of December as a sparkling month! And why not bring the sparkle indoors?! Kids absolutely love the magic of lights in the dark! To help navigate the choice I made the selection of the best light toys from our experience. They would make fantastic Christmas presents and would continue to make your house glow all winter long after Christmas is gone!

Feeling tired? Overwhelmed? Demotivated? You are not alone! The start of 2021 is a tough one, and in the UK we have a “stay at home” order for the winter.

These resources helped me to get through the first lockdown in 2020 while working, looking after a toddler, and being heavily pregnant.
Christmas Decoration Craft
I love to have little rituals while waiting for Christmas, like opening the advent calendar every day, decorating the Christmas tree altogether as a family, or making a Christmas tree decoration ourselves. This year we made a little house with a thatched roof and a tea light inside, and both my daughter and I were excited to put it on the Christmas tree!
In this post, I describe what we used and the steps we followed.
