One Year in Ptbo

One whole year residing in Peterborough! We celebrated this past Sunday with a couple beers & a family dinner. We closed just weeks before Bo was added to the mix, it was a crazy time. One year later, it's still a crazy time...just in a different way. This self-isolation way of living is so simple & slowed down. If it wasn't such a scary & unknown time, I think more of us would enjoy slowing down with our families.

Again, these were shot back when we had some freshly fallen snow. However, this outfit was totally relevant to what I'm wearing lately. I've styled these sweatshirt so many ways, it's the coziest piece I own at the moment & I find myself reaching for it more often than not. Can't wait to pair it with cutoffs & white birks when it warms up...

Safe At Home

Hello All! We are currently on our third week of self-isolation. The kids haven't left the house, with the exception of a few car rides for ice cream pick-ups or exploration. The Mr. is still working daily, which we are very fortunate for. He works primarily outdoors away from his coworkers for the most part, with his own truck serving as his office. The kids have been troopers & I think have come to terms with the fact that we cannot go anywhere or see anyone (including gramma). I've really tried to put in a ton of effort to make these weeks (or months, who knows) go as smoothly & make them as memorable as possible. We tossed in potty training for Sadie & she's doing so well. The girls do better with some sort of a schedule, so we've been planning things the night before to keep them busy. I hope everyone is well, I truly do!

Now, let's get to why you actually come here...my outfit! I needed something sunny & bright. Oh, and to actually put on real clothes really improved my mood. These are all items I already owned, but just tried to style differently (also shot over a month ago when we still had snow). Warm, springy weather is headed here soon so I'm doing what I always do...rushing to wear all my sweaters as much as possible before they're stored away for the season!

Photo Friday: This Past January

I have finally made it to 2020. Which, I guess if we have learned anything, is not something to celebrate at the moment. It's chaotic out there & since we're all stuck inside staying safe, why not blog?!

2019 really was one for the books...we completed our family, started new traditions, did so much exploring in our new city, made new friends, celebrated some huge milestones, & above all, did it all together. Here's a little recap into the first month of 2020, which really did start out just as strong...

These balloons lasted for weeks!!!

New Years Day is for coffee, pjs, & confetti poppers!

Fitting in, a Christmas present from the Mr. (Ptbo northern Originals)

December

I didn't take a ton of photos in December, oddly enough! It was a busy month, traveling back from Iowa, starting our Elf in the Shelf, visits with Santa, & all that holiday shopping/wrapping/gift giving. I watched a fair share of holiday movies & just really made the most of this last time being off during this magical time of the year...

Festive solo Saturday Night watching all the holiday movies I could find on Netflix (slippers: forever21).

We made Bo's ornament for the tree, it turned out so well (kit from Homesense).

Crazy Elf on the Shelf (girls are still missing this).

Thumbprint cookies from my hometown bakery, frozen & saved for Santa :)

This candle was the best holiday scent & filled the entire house (via Target).

DIY bottles of Apple Pie for some last minute gifts

The girls' first gingerbread house (not bad for toddlers).

Auntie Amie sent this & it arrived on Christmas Eve!

The Mr.'s take on reindeer sandwiches, the girls were so surprised!

November

Recapping November, really hoping to wrap-up 2019 this week! November was a great month for us- we experienced our first snowfall, we went to Iowa for Thanksgiving/Bo celebrated his first US Thanksgiving, I ran my first 5k in over ten years, & we celebrated ten years of marriage with a little getaway! It was one for the books...
