Thanks for pointing this out!

Right! When you start looking, you see it everywhere around us. I wish it wasn’t so.

Outside, no matter what! It is going to be rough for those of us up north. In preparation, I just bought everyone in my family a new, truly waterproof raincoat, and a heavy down jacket for my daughter. I spent more money than I usually would but I know we are going to need to be outside everyday seeing friends. Thankfully my kids school already had the “we always go outside” motto so nothing new for my kids. (not that they will be “in” school, just they are used to cold and wet recess) It’s me that won’t want to meet a friend for a walk in 30 degrees and sleet!

That sounds amazing. I find myself following countries on Instagram these days, imagining what the future might hold for my dream of being location independent – Scotland, Iceland, England, France, Ireland, Norway…nothing is off limits.
