I really shouldn't complain. We had such a mild introduction to winter this year, you would think this January weather would be greeted with gratefulness. But, like the grumblers, all I can think of is the fact that I'm cold and I'm tired of waking up to bad roads.
There is beauty,
I will have to admit.
But that's from the inside looking out!
I am thankful for a cozy house and a family to share it with. We fight the winter vibes in different ways... some of us come up with new ways to play old games...
Some of us set up elaborate displays of dominoes to entertain...
Some of us coach tiny people in practicing their music....
Some of us spend hours cutting dolls out of American Girl Doll magazines and creating tiny stands for each of them....
They may or may not
have gotten a little carried away.
Some of us waste our time looking through old photo albums and discover old relics from the past...
Babies, that's what we were!
Some of us set up a game and play it all by ourselves and win every time....
And then, some of us decide to spice things up in the blogging corner of the world...
Since I'm feeling the need for some spark of excitement and cheer, I thought perhaps there are others in the same shoes and maybe I could do something about it. Here's my plan. Throughout the month of February I will be doing four giveaways; one a week. If you need a spot of cheer in your days, come by every Monday in February for a chance to win a little something or just to follow along for the fun.
Stay tuned and stay warm!
Current view and still coming down...
I love the picture of the doll practicing her music. It's so adorable. I'm tired of the cold weather too. I prefer nice warm but not too hot weather.
ReplyDeleteWe are forecast for rain and snow the next few days. That means homemade soup and bread for us.
I know soon birds will come a build a nest in our eaves, lay their eggs and baby birds will hatch. That means my voluntary "babysitting" will begin.
I hope you will have a break from the cold soon Bethany. Have a blessed day!
Thank you Regina! Blessings on your weekend
DeleteNow I wish we were in Ohio instead of Hawaii. You are making me homesick for Ohio. I never tought I would say this, but I actually miss snow:-(
ReplyDeleteI would be so happy to send some your way! ☺
DeleteI absolutely love all the creativeness. I also love Winter. Just not all the sickness. lol Great photos! -Carla
ReplyDeleteNot the sickness for sure!
DeleteI love to see how your creative kids keep themselves busy indoors. So many memories of making paper dolls, playing imaginatively with dolls and games. I am working at keeping a good attitude about this frigid weather too. One thing we know is that it does not last forever.
ReplyDeleteHallelujah for that!
DeleteI remember those "babies"! Love you guys!!
ReplyDeleteI think that was taken the day you and I visited CBS.... what was that, two life times ago?!?
DeleteYour children are so creative! Hmm, I wonder if they get that from their mother. 😉
ReplyDeleteThey have a double dose -- their dad is pretty creative too!
DeleteI also admire and wish that creativity for my children....guess I should set forth the example.:) Wow! That is NOT wasting time looking at old photos, by the way!! It's good for the soul. :) And since I can i'll just sweetly announce that someone is soon having a milestone birthday on February 4!!!!!! (Was that o.k.? :) :)) Happy Birthday, Bethany!!
