Weekend Links

Weekend Links

It's the first weekend of 2018! What are you up to? We're going to Quebec City for my husband's Christmas party! It should be a fun, if very cold, weekend!

Here are a few fun links from around the web...

Speaking of the cold, I upgraded my winter wear this year, and I'm pretty thankful as it has been an extremely cold winter so far (it's almost like a prairie winter out here!). I snagged this coat for 1/2 price a couple of months ago and have been happy with it. The faux fur on it is pretty mangy looking, but easy to remove. I also picked up this snood from Montreal-based Soia & Kyo and the extra warmth around the shoulders makes all the difference.

I've been doing a lot of reading on minimalism lately, trying to find ideas to help me implement my new year's resolutions. I really like this article, especially that it includes calls to action to help you put minimalism into practice (and that it recognizes that minimalism is an ongoing process). I also took a deep-dive through this blog. It's inspiring to see how families with young kids are able to make the minimalism work for them. I especially liked this post about how living small at home let's you live big in other areas.

My son (unfortunately) loves Paw Patrol. This article confirmed my suspicion that the series is just a way to market toys to kids. So far we have resisted purchasing any Paw Patrol items, but my son's classmate has a Paw Patrol backpack and every morning that I drop him off at pre-school he longingly stares at it...

Very interesting read.

I don't know why, but I love looking at these celeb at the airport slideshows over at GoFugYourself. This is an old but  interesting read about the phenomenon.

On the blog six years ago: best ever brunch!

Have a great weekend!

XOXO
