I’m CPR certified!

This feels like the beginning of Covid when most of us were like, this is really bad, and a small group in power are on tv telling us to use bleach and it will last 2 weeks.

I canceled my WP subscription and signed up for the paper version for our local newspaper. This is me trying to take care of my mental health so that I choose when to read the news, and not my phone.

Happy little flowers out here in PNW! I also saw a bee!

At 8am, my kids wanted to play in the snow, so out we went. Then they wanted to sled, but the hill in our neighborhood ends on a busy street and I was worried. So I grabbed 2 sleds and pulled them 1 mile to the park with the amazing hill. On my way there, a woman on skis cheered me on.

Things I’m doing for my mental health this year: running a marathon and weight training, reading 100 books, learning to play Christmas music on the piano, and continue learning about gardening.

If anyone is in the market for a new electric car, we just got rid of our old one for reasons and changed to the Volvo ex30 and I love it so much! It’s a really great little car. The big test will be if our giant lab can fit in the back!

I love this building! Excited to go here when the restaurant opens!

Husband took kids to wrestling and I’m cleaning the kitchen to Radiohead and all is good.

I went home for the holidays and wanted to go to a bookstore and there was absolutely nothing in the area. I have so many options where I live now, plus libraries. It was a huge culture shock.

I am sooooooo excited about this ornament! We started working on this in July and I love it so much and can’t wait to hang it on the three!

I made breakfast that both kids ate and enjoyed and I will be riding that high all day.

My 7 yr old asked for a cd for Christmas and I was so confused and kept asking following up questions like what does it look like? Where does it go? How does he even know what a cd is?

Working on this project has been a joy! Can’t wait until Dec. 7th!

Bought a piano! On week 2 of lessons and it’s going so well! I am learning how to read notes right now. Art by Jonathan Bartlett.
