I am a mom to two teen boys, a wife to a great husband who helps make my dreams come true. BYW we own a cute bookstore in a cute town in Canada! We have a family dog and fur-granddaughter 🐾🐶 I try to make time to embrace the good things in life.
When your aunt sends you a book, you make sure to read it.

This May my son’s dog and I will be joining many Canadians in a Million Reasons Run. All funds I raise will help support the Alberta Children’s Hospital. We do this because Orca’s owner is battling cancer.

I finished The Enigma Girls last night. The author did a wonderful job at sharing the challenges of those who fought in secret and their wins that were kept secret. Photographs and ciphers techniques included add to depth of the book and Bletchley Park.

This morning as I walked in my yard I looked up and noticed the clouds also want to claw their way into spring. #readytogarden

When you meet up with a powerful group of ladies to have some cold dip fun in Canada. Libby might be our inspiration. @parkhere.bsky.social

Every morning I start my day at my desk journaling, checking my planner for the day and reading. These 2 join me every time.

Merry Yuletide, I am waiting with my dogs on each side of me. We admire the tree and wait for the teens and hubby to wake up. Merry Christmas everyone.

Tonight I went for a lantern walk with some wonderful people. Some beautiful photos we got.

I am enjoying learning about the Yule lads.
Another lovely Icelandic Christmas creature is the Yule Cat.

It is an enormous cat who lives in the mountains (some say with Grýla, Leppalúði and the Yule Lads) and it eats the children who don’t get any new clothing for Christmas.

Let the Krampus commence!
A Perchtenlauf parade, in Itter, Austria.

This ancient Alpine midwinter mountain festival was believed to drive out devils and bad souls.

Today I put to practice some of my learnings from an audio book I am listening to; Art of Danish Living by Meik Wiking. I asked my husband to bring the dogs to the store so I could walk them home. It was worth it. Balance living. We also found trees someone has decorated.

#artadventcalendar — Day 4. Oil on canvas, with depth added through the window. Once again, oldest son made it, once again, dinosaurs are involved.

Last night at our bookstore I got to host a wonderful lady while she hosted some of dear friends to a Jólabóaflóð, it’s our second year doing this. Always a beautiful way to get excited about Christmas.

This is a book that I have wanted to read for a while. Not going to lie, it’s is living up the hype. I love getting books at Yooneek Books.
