Last Minute Thanksgiving Ideas

Thanksgiving

So I kinda sorta maybe forgot that Thanksgiving is this weekend. Bad Canadian….also busy mama. Between appointments, chasing after Wendy, and just tiredness, I’ve really been dragging behind on my organization….my poor Erin Condren LifePlanner is gathering dust right now….

Forgetting about a major holiday is rather new to me, I love Thanksgiving and fall so I couldn’t just skip over it without at least trying to put together a small dinner for my family. So when Chris drove past a Real Canadian Superstore and saw an ad for a free ham, I made him jump on that! Not that it took much convincing. So with a 10.5 lbs ham, I had to figure out some of the other details quickly.

I literally decided we would have Thanksgiving dinner at 9 am, quickly went through the stuff I had at home, bought groceries, and started cooking at 1 pm. Dinner was scheduled for 6 pm and I’m happy to say I pulled it all off, on a budget.Read More

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Friends!!!! I hope that you enjoyed yourself. Chris and I had a quiet new years eve of wine, cheese, and baby snuggles with puppy pets. Each year it seems I make resolutions that I don’t really keep but this year I’m determined to try a little harder. I even wrote them down in my planner with deadlines!

So what do I have planned for this year, TONS. I’ve decided that there are a few things I want to do this year.

Health/Wellness

Complete a Whole90

 Train for half-marathon

Focus on my yoga practice

Join Crossfit, get stronger

Personal

Read one book per month #yearofthebookworm

Pay down debt

Play more guitar

Learning

Take a sewing course

Complete the A Beautiful Mess Photography Course

Blog

Create a content calendar and treat my blog like a business

Family

Enrol Wendy in Swimming Lessons

Start a college fund for the little munchkin

Plan a date night (or date) at least 2x a month

So those are my goals/resolutions, whatever you would like to call them for 2017. We plan on making 2017 a great year! You can make your new year great too! Just be determined and remember what resolutions you made. To help you stick to your goals, I’m giving away a Creative Year 2017 Spiral Planner by Recollections. If you know me then you know that I’m a bit of a planner addict, I even wrote a review of the Erin Condren LifePlanner, and I think that good planning is key to keeping resolutions. So here’s your chance to win a great planner for the new year! Enter below for your chance.

Do you make resolutions? What are your resolutions for 2017?

Happy New Year, friends!

Christmas movies

It’s a week until Christmas Eve and our family is getting cozy by our faux fire with bowls of popcorn and mugs of Star Wars blue hot chocolate. We love spending time together during these cold winter months and our favourite thing to do is watch movies together. It’s not a difficult thing to find on television, we actually don’t have cable, we prefer watching Netflix and such, but if you turn on the television, most channels are filled with Christmas movies this time of year. But if you’re looking for some movies to cozy up to with your loved one here’s our list.Read More

Holiday Gift Guide Star Wars

In honour of the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I’ve decided to put together a gift guide for the Star Wars fan in your life. Chris and I are huge Star Wars nerds.

(actually I’m wearing a Star Wars Ewok hoodie has I type this). Anyways, here are some ideas as to what to get fellow Star Wars nerds for Christmas. Read More

A Canadian Military Tradition: Moose Milk

Canadian Military Moose Milk

For all of the years I’ve been with my husband, he’d talk about a drink, a tradition really, at his Army unit. It’s called Moose Milk. The first question I asked, and I’m sure is the question on your mind right now, was “how do you milk a moose”? But I never tried it until this year (the moose milk not milking a moose….those beasts are dangerous) when he made it at home for the first time, and wow it’s good, but wow it’s strong.Read More
