One thing I really enjoy about our host family homestay experience is celebrations. This week we celebrate our guest Ghala’s birthday. This event might otherwise go unnoticed if she weren’t in homestay accommodation.

I don’t make a big deal out of it and, it doesn’t cost a lot of time or money. It’s just so easy to grab a supermarket cake and pop (pardon the pun) into the local party shop for some balloons. I was most excited when I spotted the new glitter range, our Ghala loves glitter (and black)!

The kids hand made her cards, which provided a much needed break from the devices they spent much of the school holidays on! Now there’s just one thing left to do…

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you……”
