I love Advent, but it is super busy, both at home and at work!!

I’ve had family services both this last weekend and the week before and there is lot’s to think about for the services to come. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday is filled with Christmas play with children from kindergarten and school. It is fun (more fun than I remembered) and today went so nice (even thought I were so tired!) – but it leaves me with a messy house and a kid that feel slightly neglected. Thankfully the weekend we’re going away – together – to visit my great friend that I don’t see often enough(!) I look forward to it and to spend some time Christmas shopping in our capital, Oslo (I haven’t been there for years).

Anyhow, this is just a small pop in to make sure you know I’m alive and enjoying the season, even though the days have their challenges. So before I go for some sleep I want to ask you this: What do you do when your kid struggles with the pain of death?!? MT is there at the moment and I have tried about everything I know to help him tackle it. This is gigantic thoughts for a 5 yr old, so I see why he’s struggling so hard – and I don’t want him to just swipe it under the rug and pretend it doesn’t bother him – but I’m looking for a way to make this a tiny bit easier on him!

Hopefully I’ll be back in a few days, there is more to the story with MT and I have lots of photos from our first 8th days of December. I’m keeping a journal of our days and I’m planning to make scrap pages from them as well, as a kind of December Daily by Ali. If I ever get around to it

Take care!!
