Happy Monday my friends!  Did you have a fun weekend?  We took the girls out on Saturday to spend some of their Christmas money.  Miss S bought embroidery supplies (she has started this at school and really enjoys it) and a Little Live Pets mouse.  Miss C bought modelling clay and a baby doll.

Breakfast time … what is on the plate this morning:

Baked oatmeal and a large cup of tea.

On today’s to do list:

  • Laundry
  • Inventory pantry / freezer
  • Write grocery list
  • Grocery shopping
  • Change furnace filter
  • Check medicine supplies (discard expired)
  • Shred old papers

The weather outside is:

Currently -4C and cloudy.  It’s going to be foggy tonight with plus temperatures for the next couple of days and then it will snow by the end of the week.

Looking forward to this week:

      Hi Ellen! It’s actually been pretty mild this year. We’ve had a couple of -25C days, but nothing too bad so far. I hope you have a lovely week.
