Hats!

Winter is here and so is the wind and the freezing temperatures.
So, we had to break out the hats!
Where is Sophie, you might ask?
Well to that I respond, she is a preteen
{need I say more?}.

Today I am thankful for...

my mom.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving

Foxy Girl

This is Mia in her
'foxy tail' and 'foxy ears'

and yes, she insisted on

wearing them to school today!

Today I am thankful for...

Kristi, Jen, Megan, Ali & Meghan.

Life has taken us in many different places

but they are still some of the most important people in my life.

“Though we drifted apart in distance

I still think of you as being right here.

And although we have many new friends,

it is our friendship that means the most to me.”

Land's End Giveaway

Playing in the snow, hot tea, warm slippers, chunky sweaters, a cozy fire in the fireplace — these are just some of the simple joys of winter. Winter is the season for celebrating family holidays and traditions, and making lifelong memories. My most vivid memories from my childhood are of building snow forts, skiing, celebrating the Christmas holiday with family, crispy cold weather and scary drives on slippery roads. Winter is one my favorite seasons! Wyoming winters are long! So, a great coat is a must! A blog that I just love to read is hosting a spectacular giveaway for a lucky reader – a Land’s End coat! You can link to it here and enter to win for yourself!
