Because they have been taken down! Today, taking advantage of the reprieve from minus twenty degree daytime highs, my husband and I took the outdoor lights down. Well, actually, he took the lights down. I held the ladder and shuddered as little frozen bits of leaves fell from the eaves and got stuck in my […]

You’re going down, bitch.

Well hello, my friends. I hope you have been making merry in the past few days. It has been so frigidly cold here, but I’m kind of glad – it gives me an excuse to be extremely lazy and slothful. Kids in their jammies into the afternoon? Well, why not? We’re not going anywhere in this […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: Holiday Edition, part 2
December 21, 2012 by 22 Comments
Part 2 is finally here! As is winter break; the kids are off school, it’s minus a billion outside, and I have nowhere to be and nothing particular that needs to get done, so I’m drinking Bailey’s and coffee and listening to Christmas carols.

Hey, what has two thumbs and just made it in and out of the post office in less than five minutes? THIS GIRL. I had to mail a package to my in-laws – because I’m such a fabulous daughter-in-law – and I was psyching myself up for total mayhem and trauma. I was even ready […]
Come and trim the Christmas tree with some decorations (not) bought at Tiffany’s

I am feeling SO FESTIVE right now, and not just because this was the lovely wintry scene when I walked the dog the other day: Look at his adorable snowy face! As I mentioned before, December is one of my favourite months even though when I hugged Jake today he complained of my icy cold […]
