Arctic Blast is on the Way!

This arctic cold blast is on the way! The temps will drop late tonight to 16°F, and then by 8 a.m. tomorrow it will be ZERO DEGREES outside! 🥶

I’m proud of myself because I got all the grocery shopping done today so I don’t have to go out in the arctic weather this weekend (Oh, and I also made sure to get a full tank of gas!).

I usually do the weekly grocery shopping on Saturday mornings, so it feels great to not have to worry about it. 🙌🏾

Zaya (5) went with me to pick up the grocery order today, and she said she was proud of me for remembering to get chocolate pop tarts. 😂

Grocery shopping done before the arctic blast hits us tomorrow!

January — The Month to Go Slow and Rest

Next year, I am making sure I get all annual and biannual health/dental appointments completed BEFORE January. I’ve had to cancel a few appointments this month because of the weather.

A lot of activities and events also get canceled or postponed because it always snows in January and gets super cold.

Oh yeah—and then there’s the flu and other viral bugs. The kids and I were sick just two weeks ago.

I just need to make sure we focus on slowing down and resting in January.

Okay, maybe I should say I need to make sure I slow down and focus on rest since I’m the one who who struggles with it the most. 😏😆

Here are a few moments from today. 💜

Math lesson with Zephaniah (8).
Some of the kids’ bikes covered in snow. No worries—these bikes are older and we’ll probably get rid of them (donate or recycle) in the spring. Their newer bikes and scooters are stored in our basement.
Theo the squirrel eating a peanut on the patio. I named this squirrel Theo from Alvin and the Chipmunks because I originally thought she was a boy. 🐿😂 But I later found out Theo is a girl. We decided to just keep calling her Theo. Haha! 😆🤣
Bathroom art from the local market. I was looking at this wall art, and I thought to myself, “Does this art piece make me want to buy vegetables?” 🤔🥦🥕
Valentine’s Day treats at the market bakery. ❤️🧁
I ended up treating myself to a chocolate lava cake slice. 😍😋

    Good idea on planning appointments before or after January! It seems like all of my annual check ups are now and it’s sooooo cold! It looks like you made the best of a cold day. And, that lava cake looks amazing! Lacy

      Thank you! 💜 It’s so hard getting out and doing all the things when it’s very cold outside. 🥶😫 I’m definitely going to do things differently next January. Lol
      The lava cake was delicious! 😋
