Happy Christmas Eve! Christmas Contest Giveaway 2013 OPEN

Hello Nelly Belliers!

Well well well....... it is almost Christmas! yayyyyyyyy! Happy Christmas Eve everyone! (actually Merry Christmas to some of you in the world!)

We are officially now on holiday, and thankfully our power has been fully restored. As some of you may know the east coast has been hit by a crazy ice storm, which sadly will leave some without power even on Christmas. Our power was out most of Sunday, and just as we thought all had been restored that evening, it went out again in the middle of watching my favourite movie, LOVE ACTUALLY. How rude! There are lots of people that are in far worse scenarios though, so I feel quite lucky to be sitting in our heated home, safe and sound. 


To those of you who are still weathering the storm, my thoughts are with you and I hope things are back to normal for you very soon. If you have no electricity please go to a friend or family members home, or if you can't do that, please head to a local church or community type shelter. I have heard lots of sad stories about carbon monoxide poisoning, so please do not use any appliance in the home that burns, whether it’s a barbecue, gas appliance or even candles if people are using a lot of them.

On a happier note.... I am making sausage rolls and white chocolate butterscotch cookies today! We will be taking them with us tomorrow for our family Christmas, and I think (I hope) I found a super duper delicious cookie recipe. I'm not a big fan of white chocolate but these look amazing, and I may do half white and half regular chocolate. Livin' on the edge!


We are all finished our Christmas shopping and Nelly's stocking is stuffed with toys (it sounds like we got her tons of toys but we actually only got her three toys, they are just quite large :)). I will try to video tape some of the festivities tomorrow so that I can share our Christmas Day celebrations with you all. Morning videotaping is never great though haha.

Upcoming Christmas Feature - Calling all Amazing Stories

Hello Nelly Belliers,

Every day I hear such amazing stories of people doing remarkable things and overcoming huge obstacles in their lives. I thought Christmas would be a great time to start showcasing these stories, and reminding people that there a lot of people in the world who have very little, or who had nothing but made new paths for themselves. Let's reach out and support people that need it during this holiday season.

If you have an amazing story, or you want to showcase your small business (I would love to showcase some gift options for Christmas that are hand-crafted and have a great story behind them), then contact me at mynellybellie@gmail.com. 

This is going to be short and sweet today. Busy day. Sorry Nelly Belliers.
