The groundhog didn't see its shadow this year. That means an early spring, right? I'm actually hopeful because it's slowly warming up a little and the snow is melting a bit. But we still have lots of indoor days ahead of us. So I'm trying to think of some fun indoor activities for kids--and here's ten! We love to play a little game and follow it up with a treat. Our favorite treat for winter is TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk--you can … [Read more...]
25 Cold Weather Comfort Foods
February 11, 2016 By Leave a Comment
I looked at the weather like every day this week and the prediction for today was sunny and warmer...almost 50 degrees! But today arrived with a thick blanket of cold fog and a light dusting of new snow. That is NOT sunny and warm. So I'm mad at the weather today and praying that later today it clears up to what was promised. Hmmph! You and I can be friends again when you start being nicer to me, weather! I get it, it's February. What … [Read more...]
DIY Rustic Winter Wedding
February 17, 2015 By 5 Comments
My sister got married at the end of December last year. She had a pretty short engagement--only two months. And as the go-to crafty person in my family (and with my parents living in Boston) she kind of hired me as her wedding planner. And since she was so ambivalent about what she wanted, I took charge. We planned a beautiful rustic winter wedding after her and her fiance's laid-back semi-granola style. They both enjoy the outdoors and are … [Read more...]
Fun Winter Activities

This has been a really weird winter. Like really warm. It has snowed only a few times and they were all in a two week period. And those two weeks were right after we moved so we didn't really have time to do a whole lot of playing in the snow. However, we've still had chilly days and on the whole still spend more time inside than out. Meanwhile, some of you out east are swimming in snow. And even though I'm not a fan of the cold or … [Read more...]

12 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues
January 23, 2014 By 8 Comments
January is my arch-nemesis. With the exception of the four years I lived in sunny Arizona, the other 25 years of my life I have gotten seasonal depression in January (on the flipside, I got seasonal depression in September in Arizona.) It's never been so bad that I needed medication or therapy. And this post is not about treating serious cases of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Simply put, I get the 'winter blues.' The winter blues consist of … [Read more...]

Winter Fashion: 8 Ways to Wear Uggs
November 26, 2012 By 12 Comments
Have you had your first snow yet? December is on the horizon and that means winter fashion! Even if you are not a 'boot' person or someone who thinks 'boots aren't me', you could certainly get away with wearing Uggs (or Ugg knock-offs.) They are comfortable and keep the moisture out. Some people live in them 8/12 months of the year. If you are thinking about getting your first pairs of Uggs or wondering how to mix them up with new … [Read more...]
