january in real life

...aaannd we're back.  Back to our everyday schedule.  You know, the one that doesn't involve candy canes.

Winter is always a bummer for me.  Just speakin' truth here.

I feel like curling up in a little ball and hibernating under the covers.  My motivation level plummets.

Winter is a time when I have to be intentional.  Intentional about exercise, diet, activities.  I have to kick myself in the bum and make those mundane chores and responsibilities happen.

Carter isn't a fan of the snow either.  Yesterday we were going from the mall entrance to our car, with blinding snow stinging our eyes.  Carter says to Ben, "I don't like it!"  Which is his famous phrase for all unpleasantries in his life.

It's okay, all the more challenge to make something fun out of that white stuff.
