Currently, I’m..
Sipping
..hot mulled apple cider, yum! Sometimes I’ll steep a bag of chamomile in my apple cider, too. It’s a nice evening treat.
Celebrating
..having so many good energy days in a row! Today is my 5th! I’m not 100% sure what started this run of good days after feeling so crappy for so long before. Whatever triggered it, I’m enjoying feeling good again.
Cooking
..today I made banana-almond bread, did some veggie prep, toasted pecans, bottled a batch of bone broth, and made apple cider “jello.” I haven’t been that productive in the kitchen in a long time! It felt really nice!
Anticipating
..getting to celebrate Christmas with my family – we are celebrating early because of my surgery (and because my parents might travel for Christmas). We’re having a Feener Christmas Pizza Party this weekend. I’m really looking forward to it!
Thankful for
• oversized sweaters • crockpots • bone broth • persimmons • good energy days! • iron • fluffy comforters • cuddles with Mia • big hugs for no reason • Josh’s diligence • Tessa Violet’s vlogmas videos • ripe bananas • family photos • Christmas lights • fuzzy socks •

Bone broth is basically just homemade broth.. but it’s made with LOTS of bones with the intention of getting all the good minerals and gelatin into the broth.
Congratulations on paying off school loans!! That is a big deal!!!

Oh the bone broth sounds unique. Does it taste good?
And thanks!! It really relieves a lot of stress to not have that loan anymore!

Hi Kelli! I’ve never left a comment here before, but I’ve watched Blimey Cow for years and recently found your blog! I’m
Sipping – hot water with lemon, because I don’t like tea very much but my throat is sore.
Celebrating – Fun choir performances, rehearsals, and the cold weather. I love the cold days, sunny or cloudy, in December.
Cooking – not much…I don’t cook much anyway; I bake more usually, but I’ve been really busy with school lately. The last thing I “cooked” was oatmeal this morning.
Anticipating – my birthday, in a couple weeks! It’s on the 21st so I never have school on my birthday, which makes me happy 🙂
Thankful for – Being able to do my school at home and having some free time this week to read.
