A fulsome Fraser fir.

capturing december 13: family

This is my mom applying coconut oil to baby J's cradle cap after a breastfeeding session. Keeping it real. Which is how family ought to be.

capturing december 12: a beautiful sight

I originally took a photo this morning of our outdoor evergreen and the fresh snowfall. A few hours later, I realized this warm pan of Pine Nut & Rosemary Brittle was far more beautiful. I love this time of year.

I'd like to enjoy the ritual without getting too religious.

With the photo-a-day thing, I mean. What did you think I meant?

capturing december 7: bright

 Bright spot of the day was a very sweet opening for Katie Flindall's tree-house themed show at Impresario.

So bright, in fact, that one picture is not enough.

capturing december 6: shopping

A special, tiny-village, quilt shop-closing, pastry-eating shopping trip for Lesley's birthday. Just right. So right, in fact, that I missed posting yesterday. I'll try harder today.

Off in search of the "bright" thing.

capturing december 2: favourite holiday movie

Posted a day late due to yesterday's flu — but the flu also enabled me to watch Love Actually on Netflix, so it's all balanced out.
