[The Little Things]

I'm celebrating everyday moments of the past couple weeks, like:

^^ A basement date with my husband while the kiddo napped: bouldering and biking! ^^

^^ shamelessly coordinating since 2014 ^^

^^ Pizza night! We may only be a family of 3 but we eat pizza like the Duggars, but I make the crust whole wheat so it's healthy right? ^^

^^ extreme dad-ing happening while I was at running practice ^^

^^ My favorite simple treat ^^

^^ A funny thing that happened in my friend's classroom. One of her students handed in this poster on the 4 dimensions of health and obviously the local bridal magazine was a source used. Looks like our marriage has good social health haha ^^

^^ escaping the city for a quick family walk ^^

^^ being welcomed home by this beautiful wreath! ^^

^^ my little Northern girl ^^

^^ my own personal hair stylist ^^

^^ a cake baked during a sick-at-home weekend, when you can't actually attend the event yourself send a pretty cake over as your replacement! ^^

^^ my MIL enjoying skating on the river in front of her cabin (Emery felt the same!) ^^

^^ baking and freezing Christmas cookies ^^

^^ Beginning Christmas season the same way this year as we do every year, shopping at the annual Ten Thousand Villages sale at the museum! Last year I wore Emery on my chest and this year Emery scurried up and down the aisles on her own. Time flies! ^^

^^ Saving graces during flu season: a super fun basement bouldering wall, and all the green drink we can get our hands on! ^^

^^ Christmas tree snuggles ^^

^^ brunch food ^^

^^ Meeting best friend's babies! Emery may not get what the big deal about him is, but we sure do! ^^

^^ Playing fetch with puppy pals! Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend clearly never had a puppy ^^

^^ my favourite festive view in our home ^^

^^ Christmas break trails runs WITHOUT THE STROLLER that had me feeling so free! ^^

^^ A novel that is the closes I've come to turning reading into a cardiovascular activity, I couldn't breathe while reading this book! ^^

^^post bath time smooches ^^

^^ our gourd nativity scene from Ten Thousand Villages ^^

^^ The Christmas cookie coma (assembling this plate made me realize just how much baking was done in December! ^^

^^ making protein bars for the adventure men in my life ^^

^^ Emery opening up the only chair in our living room that's not a hand-me-down. When in the world did my girl get big enough for her own chair?! ^^

^^ that point in the Christmas season where we were so behind on grocery shopping the only "fresh" snack I could conjure up was a blended cup of frozen mixed berries with coconut milk from the pantry. ^^
