january joys
a month of contemplation and preparation
January was a combination of highs and lows that matched the weather. It rained most days, and we rarely saw the sun. But I still look back on it fondly, as I used the time to welcome 2026. I like to call January the trial period for the new year, and I can once again say that I will continue with the full subscription!
Here are some things that brought me joy last month.
Hanging out with a group of very cool friends
Finally receiving our Christmas cookies from my sister (merci la Poste! 😣)
Keeping the tree up until the 17th
Stringing fairy lights everywhere
Getting my new bullet journal and setting it up
Learning how to make cold-process soap
Finishing my son’s sweater
Starting the Unraveling Midlife course with Susannah Conway
Getting back into a knit-along-routine with Vernell
Noticing a new shoot on my Tamaya begonia
Early morning cuddle sessions with the cats
What were some of your January joys?
