Gratitude 

Happy Valentine’s Day! And Happy Birthday to my sweetheart! 

It’s a bright and sunshiny day. Perfect for celebrating love or a birthday! Although a little more warmth would be welcome, I’m grateful for sunshine on my skin. 

Today I am grateful for going in to work a little late and giving my sweet girl her Valentine’s Day gift when she woke up; thankful for class parties; my sweethearts birthday; and for very successful Valentine’s bake sales to benefit a sick child. 

This week I am looking forward to hockey practice, sewing class and a big birthday dinner. 

In the near future, I am looking forward to our Disney vacation! It’s coming up so quick. I just can’t wait!!

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day!!

More snow!

I just love the peacefulness and beauty of fresh snow, covered trees and pristine piles of it everywhere!

Thankfully for me, 10 inches of glorious snow fell late last week. Yesterday, we got nearly 6 more inches! Although I love when snow is ubdisturbed, I love it just as much when there’s tons of kiddo footprints, snow angels, sled tracks, forts (in our case, snow restaurants…haha!!) and doggie footprints everywhere. 

When the sun shines through the snow covered trees, I can hardly resist taking tons of photos. The light is always amazing! 

So, here’s a few photos I took in my neighborhood as I left for work this morning. 

Enjoy!

Snowy Snow Day!

Snow day and Silly Pancakes

Yay! It’s a beautiful snowy day here! The weather has been all over the place this winter, even yesterday when the temperature was nearly 50 degrees. But today, the forecast is 12-18 inches of beautiful, fun snow.

I’ve called in a snow day for myself at work. I truly treasure these extra moments at home. There’s time for silly pancake shapes, heart warming snuggles and no pressure to be anywhere or do anything. And if I’m lucky, I’ll even get a load of laundry done or a tiny space cleaned up.

Happy snow day to those in the northeast!
