Drills, Doctors, and December Joys

Look out, everyone — I pulled out Jimmy’s power tools, we’re keeping our pediatrician’s office in business (again), and we somehow squeezed in Christmas photos with enough cousins to start a small village. So far, December has been a fun mix of drills, doctors, and joy — magical, messy, and 100% memorable. Here’s a peek at what life has looked like around here lately!

Life Lately in Snapshots

Hey hey! I love scrolling through my camera roll and seeing what has been going on in my life in photo form. It’s usually interesting, sometimes quite entertaining, and always random 😉

So, here’s what my life has been like lately in pictures I snapped on my phone!

Four Siberian huskies sitting on couch

We had a husky day this week! I pet sat for some friends and I don’t know who had the most fun?! It might have been Sadie. She was in her glory running around with Niva, Thor, Zeus, and Runah. I love when we have dogs over to play because Niva gets so worn out 😂

Speaking of dogs, my brother-in-law adopted a puppy! He’s naming her Petunia and calling her Tuna. I can’t deal with the cuteness! I think we’re going to be pet sitting her around Thanksgiving. So excited 😍

I told him I thought she looked like Lola and he said he hopes she’s like her and I thought I was going to cry. So sweet. She really was a wonderful dog ❤️

Mom and toddler baking

Sadie and I baked sugar cookies (at like 9 am 🤪) and had such a fun time. Also, she continues to live her best life in fancy nightgowns and dresses 24/7. She’s such a source of joy for us!

She makes me laugh constantly. Just the other day she found Jimmy’s deodorant and said “Ooo! Lip gloss!”

Guys, I got a laminator.

I feel like I have achieved a new level of homeschool mom-ness and I’m not mad about it. I tried to hold off on buying one as long as possible but I wanted to do so many little learning projects with one and finally caved. I made a worksheet to teach Sadie the seasons and all my mom dreams came true 😂

New granola flavor alert over here! Well, in my Etsy shop 😉

As I mentioned in my last post, I was developing a gingerbread granola and I finally nailed it down! It’s basically a gingerbread cookie, but in granola form. It has oats, nuts, dried cranberries, molasses, honey, and all sorts of spices. Definitely a new favorite of mine.

What would your life lately look like in pictures?
