Project 365 – December

December came so quickly this year! It’s been a month of reflection, travel, lots of family time, and many, many seasonal events. We are a busy family, and I think I realized just how busy we are compared to others with this project. 2025 has been the best year of my life and I am so excited to see what 2026 has in store. Kai, Amelia and Robin have all grown so much in this year and all of them have made me so proud to be their parent. Onto 2026.

This post is a part of Project 365 where a bunch of bloggers share a picture and a bit about each day of the year. Some share weekly, some monthly like me. You can check out other bloggers at the bottom of this post.

December 1st – Monday, Funday

5 All-Natural Dog Treat Brands That Support Healthy Digestion

Many dog owners enjoy rewarding their pets with treats, but not all treats are easy on a dog’s digestive system. Highly processed snacks, artificial additives, and hidden fillers can quietly contribute to digestive discomfort over time, especially for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

All-natural dog treats made with limited, single-ingredient recipes are generally easier to digest and better suited for dogs with sensitive stomachs. As dogs age or develop food sensitivities, choosing the right type of treat becomes just as important as choosing the right food.

With growing awareness around canine nutrition, more pet owners are turning to all-natural dog treats made with simple ingredients and minimal processing. Below, we highlight five all-natural dog treat brands that support healthy digestion and explain what makes each one a good option for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

My Christmas Gifts 2025

I feel like I write so many gift guides and check out so many “what I got X” videos, that it would be interesting to share what I did end up getting for Christmas. I do a lot of giving out gifts and have a big friendship circle – we actually had three different Christmas parties this year that we hosted along with our family Christmas too! I do not expect gifts or anything like that, but I am always excited when I do get one. I am a very easy person to shop for, as I very much love food and little treats, especially this time of year.

The Best Christmas Markets in Vienna

Dann and I went on a trip to Vienna Austria, to check out the Christmas markets there. It has been one of Dann’s bucket list items to go to the proper Christmas markets. We actually always go to quite a few in England, but they are based around proper, traditional Christmas markets. So, when a friend of ours offered to show us around Austria and plan an entire trip for us, we obviously were going to say yes! We ended up going to several Christmas markets each and every day – all of these are just a few hours from London by plane, so it’s well worth thinking about it for your end of December or even next year. I attempted to eat kartoffelpuffer at each of the places as well. This is a potato pancake, similar to latkes, with garlic all over it. All of these different Christmas markets had their own mugs as well, which you can sort of keep if you don’t mind paying the deposit too!
