Happy weekend! It is indeed one very happy weekend over here, as Eric is taking the whole week of Christmas off 🙂 We don’t have hugely exciting plans, but a break from our normal weekdays is lovely.
I’ve decided to resurrect my Life Lately posts from the graveyard of blog posts past and give you a brief update on… well, our life lately.
Baking lately:Â Christmas sweets! This week I made gingerbread cookie bars (and I’m planning another batch for next week–they go too fast in our house). Today my dad is coming over to decorate sugar cookies with little e. And next week I’m going to try my hand at peppermint bark, if I can find peppermint bits, since that’s Eric’s favorite.
Winter lately: Any other cold weather friends have a serious case of the blahs? It’s been too cold to go out most days here. I take a multivitamin with D + an extra D supplement, but they can’t totally replace a walk outside for me unfortunately!
Writing lately:Â This week I found out that I had another paid article accepted and a (unpaid) short for social media accepted as well! At some point I’ll compile all those links and share them here, as family and friends have asked to read them–I’m just still a bit share-shy at the moment.
Product loving lately: Fleece-lined jeans from Eddie Bauer (a must for the cold), my new phone case, and of course my Hatch Restore.
Dreaming lately: Of our potential future international move! Currently dreaming of Australia (especially now that my friend Kristy has her little one in arms–our boys would have so much fun together!). Although during the hot summers here, my dreams usually switch to Norway 😛 We’ve finally got a passport appointment for the boys on Wednesday anyways, so that’s one step closer to going anywhere once borders are open again.
And that’s all the news that’s fit to print from our week! Do you have any Christmas-y plans for this weekend? Baking, shopping, wrapping etc?
