Yesterday it snowed, snowed, snowed. For 12 hours straight! The fridge was full and we had no place to be so it was kinda nice. The boys played outside with the neighbor kids for a while then came inside to thaw by the fire. We read, watched movies, listened to music, worked puzzles and got caught up on laundry. It was a cozy, lazy Saturday but I’m really looking forward to warmer weather.
A few more things to pass the time on these cozy, lazy days…
*Homemade play-doh that makes your house smell like a spa.
*So what if your current home isn’t your dream home?
*For fun, in the dead of winter the kids and I browse realistic real estate finds in an area of New Zealand where Steve sometimes travels for work. The kids’ choice (hello pool). My choice (minus the carpet, plus paint on the brown cabinets and new light fixtures).
*Emily’s instagram feed chock full of old, local houses. Many of them are abandoned. Save all the houses!
*We binge-watched Cosmos and got completely sucked in. The kids loved it. So, so awesome.
I hope you’re having a warm weekend whether it’s spent indoors or out!
