when you feel like a failure...

When you go back to work after vacation and feel like you're starting from scratch...when you haven't gone to the gym in weeks...when you hurt a loved one's feelings...when you haven't spent time with your nephews and nieces in forever...when you keep on making rookie mistakes...when you've lost your panache...when you, quite frankly, fail...

- Don't be afraid to say you're sorry.
- Treat yourself
- Ask for help
- Take a break
- Listen to your favourite song on repeat and belt the chorus
- Thank the people who cover your butt
- Accept the fact that sometimes you're suffering from a lack of sleep, the stresses of an adult life, or even that bloody PMS. Or all three at once!
- Have a good cry...
- And then try again tomorrow.

- Amelia

A monster blizzard slammed into New Brunswick, burying us under a mountain of snow. My workplace shut down. I was housesitting for my parents and all alone. I decided that I would spend my time using the elements I had learned about to create an absolutely "hyggelig" day. 1. Comforting and nourishing food: Sauteed kale, peanut butter cookies, sausage patties and pancakes, hot chocolate, tea 2. Time spent with loved ones I invited three of my nieces over (who conveniently live just across the road) to make heart shaped cookies, listen to music, read books, and drink hot chocolate. 3. Time spent in natur...

What I have been Up to:

1. Dishes, dishes, dishes. 2. Avoiding Christmas songs on the radio. 3. Giving people the gift of listening. It's a rarer gift than I thought. 4. Obsessing over this web-site: http://www.shopterrain.com/ 5. Trying to figure out how to prevent my eyebrows from bristling with dry skin. Ew! 6. Reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles for the second time and realizing that everyone should read books twice. 7. Procrastinating Christmas shopping like a boss. 8. Re-organizing the art area at work and adding na ture wherever I can! Nature basket 9. Refusing to be cold and wearing snow pants whenever I'm outside with kiddos. 10. Wearing the same makeup and French braiding my hair every day. 11. Planning a Settlers of Catan game night. Erik is in charge of snacks! 12. Buttoning my shirts to the top button. ~A
