Hello, March! I’m not quite sure where you came from? February was a beautiful, crazy, stressful, exhilarating blur of colour. We’re officially at the start of a new adventure and this month, March, we’re going to hope you help us find our groove along this path.
We’re ready to explore more new to us places. We’re ready to keep seeing the golden sunshine bursts of daffodils dotted around, heralding Spring’s upcoming return. We’re ready for long strolls by the river, watching the swans and geese and discovering hidden gems.
We’re ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in new surroundings. But, my Nana’s Irish soda bread will still be gracing our table. It wouldn’t feel like St. Patty’s Day if we didn’t have that. We’re ready to keep cleaning and organising, as we work on carving out a space of our own.
We’re ready to continue to embrace the seasons. I don’t think Lady Winter is quite ready to let go. But, March is supposed to be blustery, a month that blows the cobwebs away, so that everything is fresh and ready for Lady Spring’s arrival.
Welcome, March! We’re excited to see what magic you hold for us as we continue to find our groove to the beat of a new tune.
Hello, February, you beautiful month of L❤️VE! Oh, you bring us so much this month. We’re ready for new adventures to unfold, new places to discover and new surroundings on the horizon.
You bring with you the “Year of the Horse” and I think this fire horse shall come charging into its year as we leave the snake behind. We’re ready for the birthdays we celebrate this month. We’re ready for the school break you bring and the chance that gives us to check a few things off that old “Honey Do” list together! We’re ready for cold fresh days with the promise of snow in the air.
We’re ready to hunker down on cold evenings with a good book in hand or a favourite cozy movie and just be, breathing in and happily exhausted from the extra hard work we’re putting in on a new project.
We’re ready to move forward as always with intention, hearts open wide and embrace all that you have to offer. Here’s to candlelight, kitchen dance parties, pancakes for dinner and hot chocolate filled afternoon walks. Welcome, February!

And now is the time we continue to make merry on these most sacred of days as we soak up as much as we can from the time that is left in this year before crossing the bridge into the new.
And this New Year is going to bring big adventures and a lot of changes for us. So for now, we’re visiting with loved ones, we’re relishing in the quiet, we’re moving slowly and thoughtfully and drinking in all this year has left to over.
We’re cobbling together sandwiches with leftovers. We’re watching old Christmas movies while working on jigsaw puzzles. We’re going on long walks and drinking in the fresh air only to race home for hot chocolates. We’re dancing in the kitchen and making Christmas cocktails.
We’re taking a breath, as we stand on the cusp of what has been and what has yet to be.

The stockings are hung, the presents are wrapped and we are awaiting the magical sound of sleigh bells in the air…

Hello, December. We closed November on a flutter and have started you with a whirl! We’re ready for all the anticipation and excitement you bring this month. We’re ready for an evening Christmas light stroll, with hot chocolates in hand. We’re ready for frosty mornings outside, while inside we feast on fresh cinnamon buns and hot coffee in the warmth.
We’re ready to finally finish the Christmas puzzle we’ve been working on since last Christmas. This has been a hazy, dazy, crazy year and the puzzle got moved to one side in the New Year and that was that. But with a good afternoon ahead of us and a bowl of popcorn between us, we know it can be completed.
We’re ready to sit and be, basking in the glow of the Christmas tree, while Dean Martin spins on the record player, crooning out a Christmas carol. We’re ready for the annual school break, so that we can soak up each other’s company.
We’re ready for all that you bring in this most hallowed of seasons. Welcome, December, we’re awaiting you with bells on.

🦃🧡 Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃
May your table be surrounded by those that you love. Here’s to family that you can call friends and to friends that you can call family.

Hello, November. We’re ready to see where you take us in these new chapters. So far, our fall has been a whirlwind. As if we have been swept up with the leaves and formed a little leaf tornado. Blowing and twirling in the breeze, dancing down the street as we go. And that is what an adventure is all about; taking the road less traveled.
We’re ready for evenings to close in earlier with candles lit, board games or cards flowing and hot apple ciders at hand. We’re ready for all things apple. We’ve already been making batch after batch of applesauce, with the most luscious Kissabel apples and it is the reddest applesauce we’ve ever made and it is simply glorious!
We’re ready for Bonfire Night and Thanksgiving. We’re ready for gingerbread cake and pumpkin pie. We’re ready for our annual “Alan Alda Weekend”, where we make stew or pot roast and watch “Same Time, Next Year” and “The Four Seasons”. Two of my favourites. While staying tucked in the house all weekend, feasting, watching and just being, happy as always in each other’s company.
We’re ready for crispy morning strolls where the remnant smells of woodsmoke still cling to the air as we make our way to a favourite breakfast joint to feast on waffles and eggs and hot coffee.
You hold so much in this season of Thanksgiving. And we have so much to be grateful for. Welcome, November, we’re ready for all that you bring.
