Tomorrow is December 1st, which means Elfy is back

Tomorrow is December 1st, which means Elfy is back.
I always resisted Elf on the Shelf because I disliked the idea of a "spy" reporting back to Santa about behaviour - but S begged and begged me to get an elf and so this dude joined us last December to create some mischief.
This year he's arrived on his sleigh with a little help from Lindt... I have yet to figure out what he will be doing on any other mornings this month!

I find this a nightmare because I often go to bed around the same time as S - and then have to try and remember to sneak out and hide the elf again. She insists on him sitting on a chair she's made, directly outside of her bedroom door so I can't do anything with him until she's asleep!

But all of that is forgotten when she wakes up in the morning desperate to see what he's been up to overnight. December mornings are much easier for me, because S is not allowed to go and hunt for Elfy until she is dressed and has made her bed!

Every year when the Christmas lights go on, we tak

Every year when the Christmas lights go on, we take an evening walk into town to see them and take photos.

2020 has not been the best year, and Christmas still seems quite uncertain in terms of how much of a celebration it will be.

But wandering around town in the evening, looking at all the beautiful lights, having a giggle together and taking selfies... That's Christmassy enough for us right now!

How do you make sure you fit exercise into your da

How do you make sure you fit exercise into your day or week? How do you make sure you stick at it?

I've never been great at exercising consistently. I've tried numerous different things over the years; some have stuck for longer than others, but none has stuck permanently.
I've bought numerous workout dvds; been to many different types of classes; tried online subscription services; I even ran a half marathon once (many years ago).

Recently I realised two things.
Firstly, that whenever I have exercised before it has been with the goal of "losing weight" - exercise in order to be skinny, or to move in that direction at least.
Secondly, that when I don't move my body on a regular basis, it affects my mental health negatively.

As well as this, I am hurtling towards 40 and don't want to be unable to do certain things. I don't want my body to let me down because I've not taken care of it.

I decided to approach this differently. To let go of any idea of "weight loss" and instead to move my body with the aim of feeling good.

I got a free 6-month subscription to @onepeloton with my life insurance, and signed up thinking I would give it a go... I find that actually I love using the app for workouts. The trainers don't talk about losing weight or being fat. They talk about challenging yourself and showing yourself that you can do hard things.

As well as this, noticing how I've managed to meditate for over 400 days in a row because the @insighttimer app keeps a record and my ego likes to see it, I downloaded a habit tracking app and set it to ask me every day "have you moved your body today?"

I also started putting on workout clothes when I get up in the morning. I do the school run, and then I either have to sit there in my lycra all day, or I can do a quick workout, shower and get dressed.

Basically, I looked at who I am and what motivates me, and then I set things up around that. Why I didn't figure this stuff out in my twenties, I don't know.

So far, this seems to be working. I'm exercising consistently and that is helping to stabilise my mood. I'm definitely making the most of that free 6 months of Peloton anyway.

Are your Christmas decorations up yet? Yes, I know

Are your Christmas decorations up yet?
Yes, I know it's November.
And I'm not going to give you the speech about how this has been a hard year so why not blah blah.
Anyone who knows me, knows that this is actually late for me. I usually get really excited and put the tree up really early.
And all the "cool" people roll their eyes and complain, as if what I do makes any difference to their lives.
And really, who cares. Put your decorations up; don't put them up. Do what makes you happy. Life is too short. And "cool" is a straitjacket that serves only to constrict you.
Do what makes you feel good. Shine your light for everyone to see.

It's #NonfictionNovember so here are 6 books I've

It's #NonfictionNovember so here are 6 books I've read recently.

📙 How to Fail by Elizabeth Day - I got this because I love her podcast, and it doesn't disappoint. All about how failure is necessary for success.

📙 The Third Door by Alex Banayan - essentially the story of how he got the book deal for this book, which is a bit meta. But it contains lots of nuggets of advice from a huge range of people. And the most amazing story of how he managed to fund this quest for knowledge - a story so good it's worth the price of the book on its own

📙 Curable by Travis Christofferson - this is mostly about the US healthcare system but still has many useful points relevant to the UK and the world in general

📙 Own Your Self by Kelly Brogan MD - about mental health and how medication is not always the answer, how to heal without medication. Fascinating.

📙 Genius Foods by Max Lugavere - about foods that are really good for us... And so much more. I found this book a brilliant read with a wealth of information. Again, a lot of the information is centred around the US but the basic principles are the same.

I have a massive - and growing - TBR pile so may post some of the nonfiction TBRs also.
Annoyingly (for Instagram posting) much of what I'm reading/have been reading is on Kindle - which does not lend itself to pretty social media photos!

We use Chalkola pens to draw our designs on the window & S absolutely loves to see people stop to look at the pictures as they pass.
Having washed off the Halloween pictures, today we replaced them with leaves and a squirrel. Of course, S did a better job at leaf drawing than I did!
