I used to hate that feeling of cold after coming out of the shower. In winter I switch to baths. It’s nice and luxurious and is a good way to wind down at the end of the night. If I only have time for a shower, I embrace the cold. I’m one of those people who despises the cold. I don’t think I’ve ever jumped into a heated pool without shrieking. Only after doing a Wim Hof retreat (I’m a freelance wellness writer) did I fully understand the benefits of cold water therapy. I won’t bore you with them, but the main takeaway is it really can boost your mood (if done consistently). I warm up to it (ha!) gradually, but the big trigger is when I put my conditioner in. Once the conditioner is in, I make sure the water is cooler and I try to increase the cold every 10 seconds or so. I come out feeling refreshed and yes, a little cold, but mostly invigorated.

We have four boys and I don’t think I could afford to feed them if it weren’t for Costco! Glad to hear you’re settling in!

Glad you found the pots.
Waffles are one of my favourite meals; I make homemade gluten and dairy-free ones each Friday night. On the occasional week we have something else, my kids always look at me like I have two heads as if to say: “Don’t you realize tonight is WAFFLE night?” I always make mine sweet (fresh fruit, chocolate chips, maple syrup) while my husband loads his up savory style with scrambled eggs, bacon, green onion, and some aioli. I just love breakfast food…
