Goodmorning everyone! I hope we're all having a wonderful Sunday. The weather here seems pretty nice so we're definitely going for a walk, perhaps grab a coffee too. So how are you going to spend your Sunday?

I have to admit, I did felt a little bad for not writing the last two days. That's because I wanted this year to use this place as a journal. But I was surprisingly busy the last couple of days, so I decided that it would be better to just take it easy than writing something in a rush. 

Anyway, I got super excited about what I did the other day, and I wanted to finish it properly so I could show it to you. 

But first let's go a week or so, back. While I was at the grocery shop, I ran into something that got me a little excited! It was a gingerbread house-building set! I know it might doesn't sound very exciting to you, but it's something I always wanted to try. And since I've never got my chance, it was about time. 

I thought that it might be a little too soon to buy it now. So I decided to wait a few more days, you know until we get a little closer to the holidays. But that thought didn't last long. 

A few days later, I went back to the shop. And unfortunately, the gingerbread house was nowhere to be found. I kept making circles with the hope that maybe they relocate it somewhere else inside the store. Still no luck. Devastated as I was (ok, it wasn't so bad, but I got sad, ok?), I took some other things I needed and headed to the cashier.

I'm sure you've seen these movies where the main character is looking for something and suddenly they see it on a top shelf, with all the lights around and these angelic voices singing ''Aaaahhh''. You guessed it. That is exactly how I felt when I saw it in a basket next to the line for the cashiers. Between chocolates and panettones, there was standing my so-much-wanted treasure. I got so excited that I bought two of them. For no particular reason. And then I headed home. 

The next day, I got everything ready and sat down to build my gingerbread house. And because I wanted to share my experience with you, here you'll find the video of the making! I really hope you'll like it as I had so much fun making it and the results I could say weren't that bad! So go give it some love and I'll see you very very soon!

It is true that during quarantine all of us, more or less, became chefs and bakers. But I believe that there's something magical when baking Christmas food and sweets. This year try to help in the making of the traditional meals and desserts of your family! Otherwise, if you live with your friends or your significant other you most definitely need to make some dishes together. Put on some Christmas music, find the recipe (or recipes!) that works best for you, and have some fun! No matter the results you'll have a great time!

These days are perfect to feel so much better while staying at home. And what's better to boost your positive mood than decorating your home? Put up your Christmas tree and get to work! Let the music play in the back and enjoy yourselves! Extra bonus tip: If you can, put up as many fairy lights as possible in the whole house. There's nothing better than the warmth and fairytale-like feeling they give you! I just love them!
