Scavenger Hunt

2. Candid

3. Candid (The boys are chillin')

4. Knife, Fork or Spoon

5. Rule of Thirds

(Hope I got this.)

Sorry, I've been out of commission!

I go this nasty cold over a week ago and it's still hanging on. I think I've had every symptom of every cold out there. It's been brutal. So I haven't been writing. I have been reading though. Here's a great post that I recommend you read.

Funky Junk

What I call Winter Peacefulness.

There is nothing like living in the Yukon.

I woke up this morning and went outside. The river that is usually roaring by was so quiet. There is a lot of ice build up now. It was quiet, so quiet, no sounds could be heard, no trucks, no dogs (that really is a feat). It was snowing big soft fluffy snowflakes and I could see the soft orange glow of town over the hill. It was about -11°C, so not too bad. I stood there for minutes drinking in the peaceful feeling that overcame me.

It's probably the closest I've ever been to meditation. I feel to relaxed today.

Scavenger Hunt

1. Food

(Popular pumpkin cake going around blogland.)

2. Purple

(One of the quilts I recently completed. It was  a birthday gift for a friend and she loved it! Makes me happy.)

3. In Disguise

(My Harry Potter)

4. Shapes

5. Photographer's Choice

(This picture makes me keep looking. He has blue eyes but you can't see them in this photo.)

Busy, busy.

 I made myself a wreath out of some dryer duct. There is nowhere in town to buy wreaths and I had to improvise. I did a Halloween theme but I have plans for it to be more of a Christmas theme, minus the cobwebs.

 I couldn't pass up this candelabra. I even made them get it out of the window display. Isn't she pretty?

 I think moved some things around the house.

Because I brought this baby home. My Mom was cleaning out the house again. I just love it. It used to be my Nana's and then my Dad's so it's sentimental. I had briefly thought about painting it but the grain on the wood is so lovely. I just dusted it up with some of Murphy's orange cleaner stuff and it's all pretty and fresh now! 

I moved my Nana's old cookie jar to take a place on the new cabinet.

 I did a few projects from Pinterest. Painted these candle holders. I used rubber bands to make the lines.

 The boys colored some ghosts on these milk jugs and I filled them with lights. They were a hit!

31 Days - Day 31: The End

I woke up this morning sick. I'm all groggy and with headache but I had to write one last post. The last 31 days has had many ups and downs and I found it very difficult to write everyday. But I know I can do it. I will trudge along and continue writing as much as I can.

Something is still not working, if I'm getting sick so often. I have to reevaluate the progress I have made and make some more changes for a healthier me and this month gave me a good start and foundation to continue on and improve.

One last thing when you are sick, they say you can still exercise if you have a head cold but not a body cold. I think though that if you are sick just take a rest and get your body better whether head or body.

Thank you for following me along the past month.

31 Days - Day 30 - Reevaluating

Well it`s been a month of writing about getting healthy. I`ve made some headway but not as much as I would have liked. I have let life get in the way of really concentrating on getting healthy. With all of this on my mind, I am ready to make more of the changes I`ve described in the last few weeks of writing about this.

I have been going to the gym and working exercise into my daily routine and I`m starting to work on the kitchen aspect more.

It is a good plan to reevaluate goals every few weeks or months to keep you on track. See what is working and what is not and tweak your plan to make it work for you.

Right now getting to the gym is difficult. So I plan on upping my workouts at home. Menu planning has been on the wayside as well so I have to get back to that.

Plan, plan, plan...
