The Baby Shower*
Well, my blog seems to be fixed for everyone but me. We’re still digging around trying to solve the problems, but for now I’m just going to write here… again. It’s almost midnight, but I just got home and wanted to write a little something before I crash. I went to a baby shower for two friends who are due on the exact same day tonight. It was very laid back, the food was delicious so naturally I ate too much (and regret nothing) and the company was wonderful. (I did break my sugar fast and had a piece of cake with everyone. It was magical.) For most of the…

I’m on my phone and this is weird.
My wifi has somehow blocked WordPress and won’t let me access it. I can get it on my phone, but not my computer which is mildly frustrating. So, here I am, attempting to get a post out to you with two fingers on my phone instead of my lovely, lovely laptop. I need my tech savvy handsome husband to figure it out for me… but he’s upstairs reading and I don’t want to drag him away. So I’ll think about that tomorrow. I feel like this whole day just got away from me. It was a really good day, just totally non stop. I kept the kids home from school…

Dairy Free Advent Calendar Hack*
I love advent calendars. I have several all throughout my house–a snowman whose nose moves around like a clock, a Santa with a candy cane that moves each day of the month, a felt Christmas tree with decorations… and of course, I’ve always had a chocolate one. As a kid, I loved running down the stairs in the morning, looking for the door with the right number, popping out the chocolate then trying to decipher which holiday symbol it was from the vague chocolate mold. We used to do them for the kids, but with the onset of their dairy sensitivities, the usual chocolate advent calendars are off the table.…

I used to be able to stay up late…
Its 10:28pm, and I’m only just now sitting down for a half a minute before I crawl into bed. I wanted to write this afternoon, but this entire day just got away from me. I took the kids to school this morning, then came home for a quick whirlwind clean. I got through the living room and one bathroom before I heard a knock on my door… one of my favourite neighbours popped in for a quick chat on her way by and it was so lovely. Can I just say that I love living in a place where I have lovely neighbours that pop by for no reason other…

I Need Help*
A picture came up in my Timehop app today. It was the first post I made last year committing to going off sugar and trying to live a healthier lifestyle. It’s just a shot of me in a semi fitted shirt and skirt before heading out to church. I remember how I felt that day. I remember really looking at myself that morning– looking at how much my body has changed since having kids; looking at the parts I loved, and the parts I didn’t love quite as much. I remember feeling ready to do something about it. I feel very much the same way now. I did really well…
