Little One’s Adventures // 5 Random Facts About Me

Little One’s Adventures // 5 Random Facts About Me

Hello, everyone! Little One on the blog today. What’s shakin’?

Little One shares 5 random facts about herself. // dreams-etc.com
I have something to admit to you: not much has been happening in my world lately. Between hurting my hips (I go back to my chiropractor today to see how I’m doing after my last visit!) and being in the middle of winter, I’ve been hanging out at home and getting lots of attention from the humans in my life. Which is all fine and good except that… it doesn’t give me much to write about. So my writer said she was going to post about something else today. Can you believe it? She talks on this blog-thing ALL the time and she was going to take over my one scheduled day this month just because I “have nothing going on”?

It’s like she thinks she’s super exciting or something!

Puh-lease.

Anyway, I told her I would keep my day, thank-you-very-much, and just share five random facts about me, that way you have a chance to get to know me better.

1 // If you enter my yard, I will bark ferociously at you. But if I’m away from my house and I see you… I’ll probably stick really close to my writer.

2 // I attend church! My writer hasn’t taken me as much recently since I’ve been recovering from my injury, but I go to church with her sometimes and they LOVE me! Just ask my writer… they always ask where I am when she doesn’t bring me. (And to be honest, I think they like me more than her, but shhh, don’t tell her I said that.)

3 // I don’t play fetch. I run after the ball (sometimes), but I won’t bring it back. It drives my writer nuts. Hehehe.

4 // Not only do I not play fetch, I don’t really play at all. I love hanging out with humans, but I think quality time is best spent with them giving me tummy rubs. I love it and I know the humans in my life do too!

5 // Tummy rubs are BAE. Seriously, they’re the best! I like them better than playing, I like them better than rolling in the snow, I definitely like them more than baths. Tummy rubs always come first–before getting out of bed, before going outside, before drinking water, before eat–

Tummy rubs are BAAE (before almost all else). Food comes first. Obvs.

So tell me! What are some random facts about you? I’d love to hear them and get to know you better!

Until next time, my friends, keep those tails waggin’!

    What an adorable face! So sorry about your injury but it sounds like you are being well loved! It’s pretty awesome that you get to go to church! I’ve never seen a dog in church and I have a Bullmastiff so I don’t think I’d be able to sneak her in haha.

    Your baby is adorable. My dog would agree with #3 & #5. She doesn’t fetch at all but loves a good tummy rub.

    I’m glad you kept your day, those are some interesting facts. I was going to say that I didn’t know many churches were dog-friendly but then I remembered that I photographed a wedding once and the priest had a dog who attended every mass, service and funeral. It was all kinds of awesome in my book.

    My fur babies believe the same about tummy rubs! They do like to play, but mostly with each other. They also get very jealous when mommy and daddy hug in front of them. They believe all the attention should be theirs!

hi!

I'm Crystal, the storyteller behind Dreams, etc. I'm all about learning how to live slowly & sustainably, while also seeking adventure as we follow our dreams, etc.

I took these in early January when the snow still I took these in early January when the snow still felt a bit magical, but right now I’m just ready to walk barefoot in grass.

When I was younger I used to imagine what it would be like if we got so much snow that it would be piled high above our doors. I wondered if we’d be able to create tunnels in the snow to move around in.

And this year might just be the year we find out. I’m kidding, of course, but at this point I feel like we’ve been buried in snow. We’re even on track to beat some snow records I think (the amount of snow and the number of consecutive days with snow on the ground.

So. What’s the weather like where you are?
February was here and gone in the blink of an eye February was here and gone in the blink of an eye but contained moments I’ll carry with me forever.
When it’s almost halfway through February and yo When it’s almost halfway through February and you still haven’t posted January’s recap. January was filled with lots of family time. šŸ’™
Hello, friends! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ Swipe through for a few g Hello, friends! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ Swipe through for a few glimpses from January. As 2022 came to an end I had this feeling that I was preparing to hibernate and I guess, in a way, I have. I’ve been slowly easing into the new year, focused on getting back into a few routines after Iceland and the holidays. And it’s been a great month. I can’t believe it’s almost over. What have your favorite moments of January been?
2022. Looking back on this year it was the year of 2022. Looking back on this year it was the year of so many dreams experiences. Whales. Cape Cod/Nantucket. Iceland. I saw musicals that have I’ve been dreaming of with Moulin Rouge, Wicked, and Six. 

It wasn’t without its stresses and rough moments but I’m grateful for the good that can be found, even when it’s hard.
Let’s journey back to November for the second we Let’s journey back to November for the second weekly dam walk of the month. My dad joined me for this one and we made it somewhat fast because it was a chilly day. ā€œThe water looks cold,ā€ I said when we back to the car.

Between Iceland and the below zero, windy, and snowy weather we had last week (which came with requests from my parents not to go) it’s been a few weeks since I’ve been to the dam and I miss it!
Years ago I celebrated Christmas and New Years in Years ago I celebrated Christmas and New Years in Vienna and it still lives in my memory today as such a special time. I know December in Reykjavik will be the same—and not just because I came home with a little over $100 worth of ornaments of all 13 Yule Lads AND their mom AND the Christmas cat. (There was a little bit of miscommunication between my mom and me on that shopping trip. šŸ˜‚)

It might have been cold (and when that wind hits you don’t want to be outside or by the harbour…I speak from windswept, breath-stolen experience and will forever be grateful for the library we eventually found respite in) and we only saw the sun a few hours each day, but seeing this already charming city decked out in Christmas lights with a skating rink and the prettiest tree secured it’s place in my heart.

Reykjavik, I hope to see you again one day. Soon. Probably not in December, but I’m glad I got to see you in December once.
Last year my niece and I visited New York at Chris Last year my niece and I visited New York at Christmastime and it was fun to see the city decked out in lights. I can also now say that I’ve seen the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and skating rink and the Saks Christmas lights, but I’ve also seen the crowds they draw.

It was completely different in Reykjavik this year. You actually had a chance to skate on the ice rink if you wanted (and I never did the conversation, but I think it’s cheaper) and you could actually walk up to the Christmas tree. Two very different Christmas in the city experiences.
Iceland, Day 2, Part 2. We ended the Golden Circle Iceland, Day 2, Part 2. We ended the Golden Circle tour with a stop at Thingvellir National Park. My fingers froze as I took these photos but it was worth it to capture this view. šŸ˜ PS - the last photo is from a lake we stopped at on our way from Geysir to Thingvellir.
