It has been a month! Here’s life lately:

Trying not to dwell on all the bad things in 2016… but, what the hell Toblerone! 

Gap Kids:
Me> Hey David, like this shirt?
David> No.
Me> I think I’m going to buy it for you to wear at your school concert
David> I won’t wear it.
Me> Fine, I’ll buy it for myself! 

When your patch matches your hat.

Dear Santa,

Thankful for American Thanksgiving and a light workload allowing me to watch all four episodes back-to-back.

Jill and I strongly believe in the “teach them while they’re young” motto when it comes to exposing kids to the classics. Home Alone.

I spy Edie!

Christmas starts now…

My namesake is eight! Happy birthday Libby Meghan.

As you can imagine, these were a hit.

Henry and his moustache stuffie he won at the Movember Run.

Christmas card production is a full time job for me…

And at this point, I realized I didn’t buy the adhesive envelopes…

Because you have all been dying to know the state of my toes : 4 black

Thank you SBJ for the end of November!

Edith stopped by for a visit and I snapped a pic. She’s my new favourite subject.

My body has been hurting (I think I need to get a massage or something) but I am so glad I bought this heat thingy at the Tatamagouche Farmer’s Market last summer.

Mike’s co-worker’s son makes beer. We happily approve.

North End tree lighting in the Hydrostone.

Pancake breakfast with santa at Needham Preschool and Daycare! 

We got our tree early this year. Same place as always – wish there was snow but I couldn’t wait a day longer.

The Halifax Explosion was 99 years ago. Here’s the memorial, which we walk by all of the time.

I spot a protest. Teachers doing their thing.

Here’s a non-paid endorsement… I got my boots cleaned and resoled at Quinpool Shoe Repair. Totally recommend them for their service and I am not the only one who thinks this.

Batch one of the HELLO 2017 calendars. 

Poor Cubbie : One of many of David’s bleeding nose incidents. 

Dreaming of a cabin like this. A screen shot from Instagram.

Home sweet festive home.

Sharing chocolates with my girls at Mother’s Pizza.

North Brewing Company’s awesome new label! 

Drinking Baileys and eating Christmas crack with dear friends. Tis the season!

Cherries are in season right?

First bit of snow. Shocker : School was cancelled.

In terms of photography and cooking skills, there is nothing to brag about here but it was damn good. Especially after Sabrina’s tough circuit class at Cyclone Group Fitness! 

From the look of it, you’d think Katherine needs a daily planner for Christmas… nope, she has one and it’s right there. She just prefers shopping bags.

Early morning runs within a snow globe.

Reason why winter sucks… I am forced to wear socks but they never stay up in my stupid boots.

Snowwhite.

A pre-holiday visit to GG-ma’s house. 

Winter running is not so bad when you have views like this and there is no one on the road except for animal footprints.

Send me all the cards!!! I love getting holiday cards. I also love my friends who give me sweet gifts in exchange for calendar refills! Jam and tea towels, they know me well!

That’s a wrap. I’ll be back with some holiday snaps in the new year!
