Goodbye October.

A very busy and productive month.

Getting ready for our centre and Hygge.

Blogtober: Day 31.

Wishing everyone, where ever you

are, a safe and Happy Halloween!

Blogtober: Day 30.

A leftover shot from our lunch the other

day at the greenhouse. And we did enjoy!

Northern Lights.

No words tonight. Just pure wonder. Click on each

photo to see the beauty that was our sky last night!

Blogtober: Day 29.

A bit of sun after a couple of cloudy

days. Feels warmer in the cottage too!

New Project.

We've created a new project

that we hope to launch in the

New Year. I needed some tiny

crotched items and our great

community responded. I'm

beyond thrilled and thankful!

First Snow!

As we settle in to our new home, our

new centre, we've joked about the first

snow that would soon arrive. In 2023,

the snow didn't arrive until December.

But this year, after a meeting in our

kitchen that is still waiting for a real

window, I came around the corner

to my office and squealed out loud!

Snow was falling in big flakes. It was

not sticking on the ground but falling

so lightly from the sky. My team all

started coming to see and we had a

bit of a laugh that we were so excited

to see the "white stuff!" We know it

will soon truly arrive and stay, and

then we won't be so excited to see it

anymore. For now, it made the day

feel warm and cozy inside and gave

us the chance to do more bonding

over our heaping cups of sweet tea!

Do you love the first snow each year?

Blogtober: Day 28.

A frosty day, with a late lunch at a local greenhouse

that has a sweet little cafe. Food is amazing and the

walk thru the site after is always fun. We needed a

break from the construction and this hit the spot!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 27.

After our annual gala for baby loss, we meet to

share our thoughts on the event. I love hearing

how everyone enjoyed the event, and hearing

the final numbers and outcomes. This year, we

took some time to also tie little tags to the bears

for an upcoming market where shoppers can

buy bears in memory of a very precious baby.

A heartfelt way to support the event and others.

After the tasks were all done, we enjoyed a

lovely meal together. Good company, amazing

conversation, new ideas for next year and new

energy for the busy weeks ahead of us. Bravo!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 26.

Fall cleaning means making sure we have all our

baking items for the holidays. Washing out all the

storage containers and filling them back up with

new supplies. Can't wait to start our holiday baking.

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 25.

My favorite bouquet. Such soft colors.

Wishing these would last forever and ever!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 24.

Haven't posted a photo of my sweet

Carys lately. But here she is, in new

jeans and barefeet. Always so much

fun to dress her up. Second childhood!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 23.

It was time for a new Dyson and we ended up finding

an amazing deal with the new model that also mops

the floor. So far, it's a dream! Emptying the receptacle

is different and taking a bit to get used to. All good!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 22.

I'm going to miss our little office

once we've moved to the new

centre. This space has held so

many tears and laughter. Cozy!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 21.

Roasted and melted food. I love cheesy

dishes, with fresh veggies and love

when dh creates scrumptious foods

for me to truly enjoy. Love, love, love!!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 20.

When we were trying to pick flooring

for the new centre, we narrowed it down

to these 2 choices. And then we chose

the lighter floor and are so happy with it!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 19.

One of the things we'd love to the

new centre in time is this door trim

that will make each classroom feel

like a cottage. In time, as we have

too much to do now. Maybe later

in the Spring or early in Summer.

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 18.

We decided there wasn't enough cabinets

for all the things we need to store, so we

ordered more for the back hallway. There

will be uppers, lowers and a counter top.

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 17.

A good book and a warm cup of tea.

The best way to end a lovely, cold day!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 16.

Tried a new cookie recipe this week.

Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies.

They were a hit with both my team

and the family. We'll make this again!

~ Chy

Blogtober: Day 15.

The two tiles that will soon be installed in our new

little kitchen at our new little centre. Can't wait for

all these finishing touches to be completed. We all

are working hard to get it done. And soon it will be!

~ Chy

Thanksgiving ~ Part 2.

Scrumptious food. Leftovers when there is too much!

Silly faces, a tired Chef. New decorations for our

table this year. Stories to share. Memories to make.

These are what we'll remember each Thanksgiving!
