HELLO, APRIL

Hello, April. You’ve blown in on a blustery March wind. We’re ready for the Easter Bunny to pay us a visit and hopefully a chocolate surprise or two in our baskets. We’re ready to celebrate the stolen moments in between jobs that are keeping us busy over this Spring Break. 

We’re ready for a few sunny days ahead, where we pick up sandwiches from the deli and set off for a long stroll to find a good picnic spot by the river. 

We’re ready for the days to grow longer and the bulbs to continue to burst forth from the soft earth creating a patchwork of colour against the green spring grass.

We’re ready for pizza date nights and watching old movies through the projector.  We’re ready to linger over a Saturday morning cup of coffee while we watch the birds dance from tree to tree. 

We’re ready to continue blooming along with the flowers and trees and the new shoots coming to fruition as we continue to bloom and grow on our new adventure. 

Welcome, April. We’re ready for all that you will bring!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Although today specifically is a celebration of love, don’t forget, there are still 364 other days in which to celebrate L-O-V-E in all its many shapes and forms. 

May today find you surrounded by love. Whether you are celebrating loving yourself, loving another, or simply being loved.  💋

HELLO, February

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!

Happy New Year’s Eve

So much has happened in the past 365 days and then again so little. This year has had its challenges and still more to come. But we stand waiting for the New Year, hand in hand and shall face what the future brings together. We walk in faith.

May this coming year hold peace, love and light for us all. Wishing you love as we kiss this past year goodbye and open our arms in greeting to the new one about to dawn.

The In-Between Days

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.

HELLO, December

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.
