Journey Jots #2

Hello, guys! Happy Sunday!

I hope you had a fun Halloween and ended October on a sugar high. I’m a pretty healthy eater normally but even I had my share of chocolate candy bars 🙂 You gotta live life, too!

As November gets underway, we welcome the start of the holiday season. I’ve been a busy beaver ordering some new Christmas decor and DIY supplies. You guys…I have some SUPER fun Christmas content coming your way very soon and can’t wait to share it all!

One thing I have started doing for Christmas is preparing my outdoor pots. This week I hope to go to my local park and forage for some greenery. The soil is already basically frozen so I have to get my branch lights and birch logs in before it gets too much colder. We did get snow on Halloween, after all. Winter is coming too fast here in the tundra!

Are you in the early Christmas decorating camp or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments!

Life Lately

On Halloween we celebrated Tilly’s 5th birthday! Thank you guys so much for all of the birthday wishes for her 🙂 We had a fun day full of Kong treats and some new toys.

We spent Halloween evening with our niece, Molly. Look how stinkin’ adorable she looks in her pumpkin hat! She helped me give out candy to the trick-or-treaters that came by. My sister said that next year, when Molly is a tad older, she will get to be in a costume and go around to a few houses.
