the name of this blog was inspired by a great song by one of jared and my favorite bands Carbon Leaf. though the whole song doesn't translate to our life, we still love the idea of living a life less ordinary and less sedentary. in fact, to wake up and look back on a mediocre life is one of my greatest fears.

enjoy the random comments of my head as i bumble through life.

(click on song title to hear it.)

"Life Less Ordinary"

Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well I hate to be a bother,
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but...
I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)
And I know what I need

10 things that make winter bearable...


my last post was negative (and rightly so with my hatred of cold weather!) but i thought i'd do a more positive list. here's things that make winter bearable and keep me from completely hibernating...







1) hot drinks..namely coffee, hot chocolate, peppermint mochas...

2) my fireplace

3) hot baths and good books

4) chili

5) the whole thanksgiving/christmas/new year's combo

6) the smell of cold weather and wood-burning fireplaces

7) my husband, whose blood must be like that of hot lava

8) a warm, toasty, cozy, super cute house

9) snow. playing in it, waking up to it, driving in it, watching it fall. the mysteriously perfect hush when you are the first to walk in it in the middle of the night. snow is God's little treat during winter.

10) the reminder to slow down, rest, replenish and know that warmer days will return.

and a little bonus:
11) the decor of winter. i love the slightly shimmer in make up, the muted golds and silvers and mauves..and is there anything better than ice blue and silver/white together? especially when paired with a snowflake or snowman theme? i could so plan some incredible wedding/events around a winter theme!
