Warm Cobbler on a Cold Day

It's been a bit of a disorienting day for me; with Gavriel back home, it being a holiday (but not our holiday) and a few other things that are cycling through my head and aching in my heart. With that said, there was also so much good that happened today so I wanted to share it here. 

Even though it was coldy cold outside today I managed to get outside for a walk. I have a goal of doing 60 days of 60 minutes of self care. I know that I'm a much happier and healthier person when I walk, mediate and do a little yoga - yet somehow those things always find a way to the back burner. My goal is to walk for 30 minutes, sit for 15 minutes and stretch for 15 minutes. Really, I hope to go beyond 60 days but thought that was a realistic amount of time to commit to. ***A week later I'm noticing that It's not realistic for me to do all 3 of those things every day but I have managed to walk and/or sit every day***

We had a bunch of apples that were past their prime, so I made a yummy apple blueberry cobbler with a topping of almond flour, gluten free oats, brown sugar and earth balance and ate that for dinner (everyone else had mac and cheese). 

Here it is:

 I also started making a winter hat for Avigayil from this rainbow yarn she picked out last week:

The funnest part of the day was watching Avigayil bang away on her newly put together drum set. She and her friend Gabrielle had great fun starting their band. This is actually the first time she's ever used a drum set - I'm excited to see what she'll do after some lessons.


Another good thing is that that it's starting to snow, and even for this non-celebrating Jewish girl there is something special about a White Christmas.
