2 the Moon

Instead of the theme “2 the moon” it felt like we might as well be on the moon. Another wee one’s birthday celebrated in the great outdoors. The public health orders not lifted as some of us had anticipated and so add one more thing to the  Covid19 casualty list.

Whimsical Win

The phone rang shortly before lunch, an odd enough occurence for sure. The caller though someone I often speak with. She calls me her second mom as I helped guide her through some formative times. Now a dozen years later we still keep in touch regularly. The call promoted a string of events.

Refueling

Today’s advent activity started early this am, although not on purpose.

Loafing Around

I wasn’t entirely sure where (more correctly who) I was slanting this advent activity towards when I started baking. I saw a reciepe, had the ingredients and went for it.

Easy peasy

I actually had to look up my title idea as it seemed so easy that I had probably used it before. Turns out I haven’t and it definitely fits today’s advent activity.

And the winner is..

The winner is me and I will tell you why. I am not sure that I have ever written this part of the story before but I think it bears witness to where I am today in my advent activity.

Mad chaos of 2020

There has been a ton of mad chaos to 2020, one for the history books for sure. We are lucky in our household to have escaped most of that until today. Today chaos seemed to reign supreme.

Holy snap 2020

Holy snap. It’s 7 days into December and I’m already mixed up. I’ve managed to be behind and yet I am ahead which is often how I roll at this time of year.

“That activity” 2020

This post and the activity comes with some anxiety and concerns. It could seem that we’re being non compliant with local health authority guidelines and I definitely feel conflicted but it’s a two prong sword.

Surprises 2020

Well 2020 has been one big surprise after another hasn’t it? A pandemic that has seen toilet paper hording to anti mask rallies to a second wave that is crushing humanity. And I don’t mean “crushing it” in the way millenials mean it. It’s been a year of surprises so why would we design the advent calendar with one more surprise?
