… we walked three miles (round trip) to see the christmas lights. of course we took kramer, of course it had just snowed and of course i wore my favorite vintage shoes that just happen to have no traction and rub on my ankles a bit when wearing low socks. i sort of knew it might be a bad idea going into it but wear them i still did. by the time we made it to the lights we were chilled to the bone (except for kramer who was as happy of a pup as i’ve ever seen), so we decided to glance from afar on our way back home.

on a funny side note, we have come to find kramer does not like horses. we saw a few pulling those little carriages you see around christmas time, giving people rides around the city you know, and when kramer saw this he sort of went wild, growling and barking with fury. to think that little guy could take on a horse, it still makes me giggle.

anyhow, after all that walking and nonsense we managed to end up back home an hour later with some very sore ankles and without seeing much lights to speak of at all. it took me a full hour afterwards to get warm even with hot coco in hand. will we do it again? yes! will i wear better shoes? we’ll see 🙂

throughout the past year we have been trying to simplify our lives a bit, getting rid of things that aren’t necessary as well as extra clutter within our home. more and more camden and i have dreamt of our lives being simpler, more minimalistic, and more clean. our first big step in this process came through moving and having to purge the things we could do without and only taking the things we loved or needed. this also meant however, that a lot of lifestyle changes have had to happen around here as well as sacrificing some of the things we’ve been used to having, such as a dishwasher and washer/dryer just for example. this past week we’ve made a few more big changes. camden was offered a promotion at work which, among a few other things meant a location change. luckily for us this means he is now working only less than two miles from home and has started commuting by foot to work. after a lot of thinking and debating we have decided to sell one of our cars as camden will be walking most days to and from work anyhow. also this week, we gave up cable which honestly was almost a harder decision for us than deciding to sell a car. however, after realizing just how little time we actually spend watching it, it suddenly seemed silly having it at all. a few more things will probably be changing around here soon but so far the adjustment hasn’t been too hard. i’ll keep you posted though . . .

1. early christmas present wrapping // 2. so much laundry // 3. first presents under the tree // 4. beautiful gifts from a sweet friend // 5. kramer the other reindeer // 6. classic books and chocolates..yum // 7. loads and loads of dishes all washed by hand.

small, compact, tiny, little, teeny, miniature, itty bitty; all words that would be suitable to describe our front entry. just enough room for a few pair of shoes and perhaps a shovel and a couple scarves in the winter. a spool of yarn sits on the adjoining wall because …. well …. why not? and a little ornament sits on the wrong side of a nail that has poked through from the outside of the front door. sitting opposite from the front door, in all her glory, resides our christmas tree, mostly because there just didn’t seem to be anywhere else to put her. who’s to say if it’s because our family is still small itself, or because it adds a bit of cozy to the rest of the house, but i have come to adore our little, teeny, tiny, miniature, compact, entry.
