Hey, there! Long time, no see. As usual, early winter breaks into a bit of a chaos around here with the holiday season and readjusting to real life once the celebrations are over. Here are some highlights of our cold-weather season (hopefully it won’t last half a year again!) so far:
Celebrating Christmas with family is always the highlight of winter for me. If I had to change one thing though, it would be to not enter the holiday season already exhausted. This was an eye-opener for me and a lesson to keep my eyes on what’s most important during the Christmas season (hint: it’s not making sure you’ve completed your shopping list before Christmas Eve!).
Currently: It’s Cold Again!
Deja vu, guys. The winter boots are out, and I’ve started carrying extra shoes (indoor/outdoor) with me to work every day. In reality, it feels like winter never really left last year . . . instead, it took a little break to help us get a hold on things (and maybe to get some fresh air and sunshine before we all went completely mad).
Anyway, I’ve been using this “opportunity” to preoccupy myself with lots of indoor activities: Writing for the Awesome Mitten, visiting Pewabic Pottery (new post arriving tomorrow on www.awesomemitten.com!), buying cool stuff on Etsy, and watching Brad tear up lots of things in our house to make them look even better (pictures to come). Long story short: we’re really re-establishing our lifelong relationship with IKEA these days.
So . . . what have you guys been up to? And what would you like to see me write about next? Tell me in the comments below!
