Getting Back into the Groove

The past few months have been very chaotic with the new job, new apartment and all the wedding stuff that we did, so I was really thankful when we had a normal Saturday lined up this morning.

Garrett and I have both been slacking in the fitness department, so we headed over to a new gym where I could do a class (my legs are still shaking!) and he could fit in some strength training. It felt so good to get it all done and out of the way before 10am!

While we were out we decided to do a bit of grocery shopping and run some errands.

We found big red bows for a Christmas project I'm doing next week. $1 each at the dollar store is waaaay cheaper than buying the ribbon at Michaels and making them myself.

We admired all the fresh green wreaths in stores...but not the $30 price tags that came with them.

If our place was just a wee bit bigger, I would have loved to pick up a fresh tree, but for now we're just going to use the new pre-lit one I got last year.

A quick trip to Rona for some brackets and new shelves. More on that soon!

And my favourite purchase was a big ol' box of clementines! I have a serious addiction for these every winter.

We just bought them a couple of hours ago and I've already eaten four.

Lastly, I wanted to show this amaryllis bulb I just planted. I can't wait to see it sprout up more!

Soon it will grow tall and into a big red bloom!

The rest of our day is filled with home improvements, dinner guests and maybe even some Christmas decorating. It feels so good to be getting back into the groove of things!

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!
