Continental Drift & Link-Up

 

Welcome to our Continental Drift linkup! The reason we are  dabbling at a link up was that we wanted to connect and learn from bloggers from all across the world about their passions and lifestyle.  We will host the  Continental Drift link-up the first of every month. 

 

The concept for myself and my fellow hosts (Mutton Style & Sydney Shop Girl ) is that we, the hosts, will write a post about our life on our continent/Country/state over the past month (hence the name) and our favorite thing from the month. You are invited to link-up on any family friendly topic that you like,  be it DIY, cooking, sewing, crafts, lifestyle, de-cluttering, traveling, moving homes, fashion, style, beauty, make up, etc. Your hosts to this linkup come from UK, Canada and Australia.  Enjoy getting to know each other!

 

 

 

  

Life here in Saskatchewan, Canada is enjoyable and comforting for the most part.  It’s true that winter runs its course for way too long, approximately 6 months of the year from mid-October to mid-April, leavening all the other seasons to equally share the remaining 6 months.  The winters can be classified as cold and bitter cold, as the wind sweeps across the prairies and chills us to the bone.  Yes, it sounds gloomy and depressing, and honestly every March I struggle to keep my positivity at the forefront, but the saving grace is that we also have a great deal of sunshine.  Even in the coldest moments, if I can feel the sun on my face it brightens my mood. 

So what do we do all winter you ask?  Hibernate?  Stay in doors?  Crawl under blankets and sleep the days away?  NOPE.  Life must go on, much like the show.  We are fortunate to have the ability to buy relatively good winter apparel for ourselves and the girls so we get outdoors and enjoy winter activities as much as we can when the weather is decent. 

We ski/snowboard.

We skate. 

We cross-country ski.

We go for walks.

We go sledding.

We play in the snow. 

We enjoy the indoor pools on the weekends.

We play board games. 

We bake.  We cook.  We craft. 

Sometimes we take a hot holiday to get away from the cold for a little while (not this year though ☹)

We try to the make the most of the winter we have. And then when summer comes, we enjoy the heat, the long hours of daylight and the sun that shines brightly most of the time. 

 

 

 

My favorite memory from March is that my 8-year-old Anya wrapped up her figure skating lessons for another year.  She passed badge 5 in Advance Can Skate and was so confident to step out on the ice with her peers for their little number to Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic.  She was all poses and smiles for the camera the morning of her dress rehearsal.  This kid is just full of charisma, attitude and spunk.  We are proud of the progress she made this year in her skating and hope that she continues to enjoy it next year. 

Now please follow each of your hosts Bojana of Bodaciousblog, Sydney Shop Girl and Mutton Style  on at least one platform (Instagram, Twitter or blog) and comment on their blogs.  It would be great if you could read and comment on the blog above yours in the link up.  You might make a new friend. Please also do add a link back to our blogs on your posts to help the linkup grow.  Thanks for stopping by, we look forward to learning more about everyone!
