To tell you all the stress was worth it

I've had the most awful year and incredibly stressful month on every front. I was in no way ready for Christmas. I've put my all today into making it special for my DD who is 3, and she's gone to bed so excited for Father Christmas to come. She gives not a tiny shit about the state of my house or the value of the presents, or whether she's in Christmas PJs. She's just absolutely filled with the magic of season, and it's really touched my heart. All the stress that's led up to tonight for me has been totally worth it to be able to tuck her in for the night with the promise that when she wakes up, "he will have been". These are moments my past self dreamed of! If you've had a bad year, or month or week and you've risen above it for your kids this Christmas - I hope you feel the same. Have a lovely Christmas everyone ❤️
