How was your weekend everyone?
Mine was brrrr cold. I tried to start running but then I realized that 10 degrees and running doesn’t work work well for me. So instead of running, I’ve started to listen to the Serial podcast, watching episode of the Good Wife, drinking tea and eating soup. That sounds like Winter, right?
When I used to have my old blog (12 years ago!) I would often document my months and days by posting photos. For months, it’d be a photo a day. For days, it’d be a photo every hour. I won’t show you any of those blog series because they are (very!) embarassing but I thought about bringing them to Brooklyn Farm Girl. Since I take so many pictures (Instagram-aholic) I thought it would be fun to start doing monthly series.
I hope these are fun to view and you get to know me a little bit better with a glimpse behind the scenes with working on blog posts, creating our art for clients and life in NYC. One thing I should tell you right away… I like cats. 🙂
Enjoy!
December 1 – We brought home our Christmas tree. In New York there’s no putting it on the roof of your car, you just have to bulk up and carry/push it home. Every year we go and look at the trees and we always want the biggest tree in the back. That’s when I make Matthew move 30 other trees so we can get ours. 🙂
December 25 – Matthew added another pair to my collection of Nike wedges, aka the best shoes ever.
December 25 – Christmas afternoon, picking a big basket of fresh broccoli under the greenhouses!

I love your new series (would have loved to see the ones from the old blog too). Compared to you I had a quite (very) boring December. Looking forward to see more 😀

I loved looking at all of these pictures! Alice’s Tea Cup was my favorite brunch spot when I lived in New York a couple of years ago!

Poor Matt and the 30 trees. Your attractive cat almost makes me forget I’m scared to even look at one in real life, and that sweater is super cute! You really went in and followed all traditions with your baking in Dec, and that fudge! I really like this idea of a photo series, although I don’t take much pics myself I LOVE looking at others!
Kristi @ Inspiration Kitchen says
Gah! I love this behind the scenes posts. Not to mention, I am a cat lover extraordinaire – so that’s perfectly fine with me. LOVE the pin it button – ooooooo kitty! 🙂

This is a GREAT series, I love it! Nice to get a glimpse. And soooo funny the picture of your cat with the hat. We were just discussing at my job a knitting book about hats for cats ( I work for a company that publishes books and magazines) and we were we wondering can anyone actually pull off putting a hat on their cat? Well you proved you can! And that pix of your boy with his new PS4 is priceless.

What a beautiful month. I love seeing posts like this. That cat shirt, your cats and that baby, melted my heart. Have a great January.

What a colorful December. I’d have to say my favorites are the custom Goblin sweater & the sign at the pizza place. So relevant.

I LOVE this. It is so fun to see glimpses of peoples lives like this.
Do you use the timehop app? I am obsessed checking it each morning to see what I took pictures of on that day in the past. Sometimes my photos are very similar to what is happening now and sometimes they are so different. It was fun seeing a picture I took of my children at the playground on the day after Christmas wearing sweatshirts a few years back since it was 60 degrees. Then I scrolled down and saw that 5 years ago we were snowed in with waist-high drifts. So fun!
Pamela says
Thanks Jamie, I’m going to look into this app!

Busy girl, December was a whirlwind, can’t remember everything it’s all a blur. Love the pics.
Georgia says
I recently discovered your blog and really enjoy reading and your great pics. As a fellow cat-crazy lover of felines I wanted to mention that some fresh flowers, and I believe the lillies in your pic above, are extremely poisonous to kitties: http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/lilies/ Just wanted to be sure you knew!
Pamela says
Hey fellow cat lady! Thanks Georgia, no worries, they were in a cat free zone! Plus, for some reason my cats in general hate flowers… they aren’t very sentimental, they’d rather yummy food. 😉
Miss Messy says
This is such a lovely lovely post! I need to start taking more photos, but nothing exciting happens! It’s always food ha
Monica says
This is so much fun, Pamela! I love all the tea parties and donuts. December is the best month! Here’s to great ventures in ’15!
