Happy New Year! 2026 feels like a weird big number for the year. It's not off to a particularly great start, globally or personally, but maybe we can turn it around. This will be the 22nd!!!!!!! year of this blog. CRAZY.
One thing that was not crazy was our winter break. It was very very low key. We really did not do much. There was a lot of sitting, napping, reading, sleeping in, tv, music, and probably more naps and sleeping in.
The kids had their late in the year birthdays
LOTS of groceries
I decided to make shortbread cookies and then had to stop and go to the store because I didn't have enough flour or cornstarch. Another day I had to do the same for eggs after The Boy ate them all the night before for his third dinner.
We visited this excellent store
This made me laugh.
We didn't get very creative with food this year but these brie and cranberry jelly tarts were such a big hit we made them again a few days later.
Last week SUCKED getting back to work and school. Everyone was crabby and tired and the January blues have kicked in. Only 68 days until Spring!
