Christmas smells like…

"Happiness. There are barbecues and ice-cold drinks. There’s the smell of chlorine as my kids laugh and squeal the afternoon away in the pool. There is the dry smell of summer, and of course, the most mouth-watering Christmas lunch (my favourite is the Christmas ham!)."

This year I’m grateful for…

"My family (spoiler alert: it’s the same thing every year). I have such a beautiful family, from my husband David who fully supports me in my creative business to my two kids, Heath (four) and Maisie (two) who are just an endless supply of laughter and fun (and the occasional mummy meltdown). My parents are always there for us too, and with everything the world has endured over the last 24 months, I just feel so blessed to have a tight-knit and happy family life."
