5 things Friday

1. Today I was a ‘parent’ to not one but two babies for a couple hours, when babysitting a friend’s 7 month old. There was lots of play, a walk in the sun, giggles and chain-reaction tears (none of which were mine, I am pleased to report…)

And I also got to experience what it is like to have a baby that takes a bottle!! Quite the novelty!

2. Our new Christmas tree arrived, and it is taunting me from the box. Yes I am officially already excited for Christmas, and can’t wait to put our new tree up on December 1.

3. I ran a barefoot 1km the other day, and my calves are still hurting. I think I underestimated just how different my stride is when running barefoot (ie. no heel striking). I must dust off my vibrams and do more soon.

4. I am currently reading this book, and it is a perfectly light-hearted read.

Well written, and not too heavy in its subject matter – just the sort of book I am loving at the moment.

5. This caramel sauce.

LOVE.

That is all.

What about you? What are you up to this weekend?
