This is it! It’s December! Time for all the holly jolly festive fun!

After reading here, head on over to visit Coco and Deborah, our awesome link-up hosts.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That my neighbor is working for the newly opened Bitty & Beau’s and I had the privilege of visiting this week. Bitty & Beau’s hires differently abled people to work at their coffee shops, and declares themselves “radically inclusive.” You know I bought that coffee mug. My iced peppermint bark latte was absolutely perfect, and I was so happy to see her in action. They have a really lovely work space in their shop, so since it’s a hike, I plan to return with my laptop so I can enjoy my iced coffee and get some work done at the same time.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That as soon as I got home from Thanksgiving, I had to do some decorating and I made the cutest little hot cocoa bar in the kitchen. Peep the pug mug. I couldn’t resist.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we had the best Thanksgiving ever. Seriously. We had a nice, relaxing break with beautiful weather, holiday lights, great friends and good food. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we had the craziest Hallmark Christmas movie moment in Georgia. We have been talking about a relocation after A graduates, and look at what turned up on the front of the menus at the place we stopped for breakfast! I wanted to hand over a check right that second.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we got breakfast club going again! It’s been way too long! The ladies and I all have flexible schedules, so we were able to meet at my house on Wednesday. We had Winter White Mimosas, french toast casserole, breakfast buschetta and sausage balls. It was lovely to just have a festive meal and conversation. PS. The theme was Frost & Flannel.

What would you share over coffee? Any holiday plans?

    Looks like your thanksgiving vacay was just what you all needed and a perfect change of pace for you. So are you going to purchase a diner?

    I too had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with my fam. We want to relocate to Wisconsin, but we have to wait for the hubs to retire. We need his insurance because i have medical issues. So we’ve got about 4 more years. Sigh…

      We have some time, too, but it can’t hurt to look. We have independent insurance since Mr PugRunner owns his business, so really, we are flexible.

    Interesting… are you thinking of moving to Georgia? Because we’re also toying with the idea of relocating… eventually. We’ve got another year longer than you till our daughter graduates from high school. I can’t go too far north, and we don’t have any family in the south… so basically I’m open to suggestions.
    I’m glad yourThanksgiving was so nice and that you’re fully embracing the festive season- enjoy!

      Have you checked out the Blue Ridge area? It’s really pretty, but not a huge temp difference (at least not for us). Personally, I would go all the way to Canada, but not everyone is on board with that idea.

    That hot cocoa bar is so cute! Glad you had an awesome Thanksgiving — are you gonna be heading off to Georgia? :O!!

      Georgia is on the list. There are many drawbacks, but there is also a lot of room for solitude so maybe I can make it work.

    We’re going through the re-location dilemma at the moment, as well as needing a major down-size in living space. That coffee shop sounds like a great establishment! I’d love to have one of those in my neighborhood.

      I want a little downsize, but I still need space apart from people, even in my own house. Like I literally need my own room LOL.

    I’m so glad you had a great Thanksgiving! Sounds like it was the break you needed!

    Your breakfast club get-together sounds wonderful!

    Do you want to stay south when you relocate?

      I do not want to stay south at all, but Mr PugRunner doesn’t want north. So I will go as far north as I can get. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get into NC, so North Georgia might be it.

    You know we are on the hunt to find where we want to move to! GA is a bit too far south for me. Not a fan of heat & humidity! I hope you find what you’re looking for.

      The climate is a compromise. Mr PugRunner doesn’t want it too cold, and the Blue Ridge area is just about 10-15 degrees cooler overall, with lower humidity. I’m taking what I can get.

    You’re thinking about relocating eventually… how exciting and I can’t wait to follow along on your hunt for the perfect place!

    I love your hot chocolate bar, how cute. I just bought the perfect flannel pj bottoms for the Frost and Flannel breakfast (at Target). Of course, you wouldn’t have been able to find me if I had lain down on the table. LOL

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
