El Sol....

Ahh! The sun found our house today!

New Songs..

New Corner

Jack's new workshop (under the stairwell)...he's loving his new little space to build & create.

Snow Day!

After a beautiful snowfall yesterday, the kids were excited to hear that there was no school this morning Thank goodness for playgroup...I wasnt feeling up to staying home inside..all day today. It's too cold to go sledding..the windshield must be really low because Jack & Maddie didnt stay out there long when we got back from pg. Usually they are happy shoveling snow & playing, but too cold today. I think I'm good for maybe one more big snowfall, but then I may need medication to get thru the winter:0 Looking at beach rentals is my medication right now.

Soo Good

More snow..

I'm trying to keep positive about the snowy cold weather we're having so far this year. Today I heard that more snow is headed to Ohio....maybe 3- 5". It can be hard when just running errands requires at least 3 or 4 layers & I'm still cold! I'm trying to get the perfect windshield face cover for our walks to school. Right now I am using a "kerchief" that I knitted a few years back. Would a ski mask be inappropriate?? Why not for the whole family...I can imagine all of us now streaking down the sidewalks like bank robbers:) My vanity is slowly disappearing with age:)

Eatin more Veggies

Recently as I blog-surfed from www.soulemama.com to http://hipmountainmamablog.com/one-small-change/ , I discovered a very cool challenge to "make one small change" each month leading up to Earth Day to help our environment. My goal coincides with my decision this Thanksgiving to go vegetarian. I hope to continue down this road & surprisingly John is giving it a try ...maybe longer than a month. Jack is not much of a meat eater unless he smells bacon:) So 3 of us are up for the "small change."

I get a daily email from Sierra Club & interestingly enough today's email discussed eating less meat & the benefits our world could get from just that. quoting sierra club.."if you refrain from eating meat just one day a week, you'll save as many emissions as you would driving 1,000 fewer miles this year."
