Instagram post 2194404729956828073_179821897 🌟The 80/20 Rule 🌟Do you follow this simple rule? Eighty percent of the time I eat healthily, exercise and do all the healthy things. Twenty percent of the time I let myself go a little. So this morning we wrapped up warm and got out for a brisk walk (before the rain!) to make up for a tiny bit of over-indulgence celebrating with friends last night. Okay...maybe a lot of indulgence...🍾🍷🍷🍷🍾We did skip dessert though! 😉#apriljharris #the21stcenturyhousewife #wrapupwarm #mystylephotochallenge #healthyliving #getoutside #8020rule #healthylifestyle #walking #balancedlife

We started here @kikiandbow for lots of lovely Christmas gifts (and some delicious stollen), went on to @ninos.trattoria for more delicious gifts (and tasty pizza!) and enjoyed so many of the other lovely shops as well. The sausages Green's of Pangbourne were serving were amazing and we really enjoyed the mulled wine at @pangcheeseshop So lucky to live here!  Check out my stories for more!

The Christmas tree behind me was almost two stories tall and so gorgeous! The scent of fir trees and woodsmoke was in the air, and you could hear the crackle of the logs in the fireplaces. There were lots of sparkly lights too. What a magical evening it was!
