Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 This morning, my daughter and I bundled up and took a walk around the neighbourhood. We visited three of the little libraries, and I traded one of my completed life hacks books for craft magazines.

I stopped by Shopper's Drug Mart in hopes of a flu shot, but the wait was 1 - 2 hours, so I waitlisted myself online to book at a scheduled time instead. Hopefully soon.

When we arrived back, I pushed her in the backyard swing for awhile and filled our birdfeeder (which has been completely worthwhile a completed goal, by the way.)

8739 steps so far today.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 Yesterday, my mom, my daughter and I went to two parks in Pickering (and took a small stroll from one to the other).



Today, I had hoped to go for a longer walk, but it was cold and rainy, so we stayed inside and my daughter and I did a 25-minute Cosmic Kids Yoga video.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 This morning I pushed my daughter in her backyard swing, and then I threw, kicked, and chased a football around because it made her howl with laughter. 

Then we drove to my parents' house, and are staying the night to maybe go out into nature tomorrow.

 I felt too tired to update yesterday. My daughter and I drove to Aga Khan Museum and Park and toured around.

Completed: #22. Try at least three "life hacks"

 3/3: Shoe hangers to organize kids' toys.

I picked pink to match her room and brown for the living room / play room.

We have a living room couch again! 




Kid-approved!

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

Today I drove to High Park with my daughter and we walked around, and had a picnic lunch. It was an absolutely gorgeous unseasonably warm fall day.

 From 2009 - 2012, I lived in Roncesvalles Village and, from 2012 - 2016, I lived in Bloor West Village, so I spent seven years of my life living on different sides of the park. It was very neat to drive my daughter through my old stomping grounds, and take her to a place I often walked through, once picnicked and ice-skated in, and even walked through on my first date with her dad. 

I love and miss High Park. I wish I lived closer. It's Toronto's second (?) largest park - impossible to completely traverse in a day - and probably its most beautiful.

Completed: #28. Start my own sprouts

 


I'm finally putting to use some sprouting supplies my little sister gave me almost two years ago, and aiming to sprout some mustard seeds and some chickpeas. I used the book pictured (also from Book Outlet) as an easy instructional (and, as a bonus, it also has instructionals for growing mushrooms, which is another goal for another day).

I'll let you know how it works out in 4-6 days and, if it goes well for me, I'll try to sprout some rapini and arugula seeds next. Exciting!
