i woke up last friday morning to one of those absolutely magical scenes where i was all cuddled up with my two little sweeties, eyes still shut tight, snooooozing away. ahhhh! that moment right there? it is such a rare beautiful, incredible unicorn for me! i love snuggling them, always… especially when they’re peacefully sleeping… and extra bonus when it means no one is waking me up! 🙂
then of course, as habit dictates, i reached over and picked up my glowing hand-held portal to the outside world to see what was new… and immediately i saw headlines that gave me the deep desire to just stay there all cozy and safely hidden away in my bed with my babies forever and ever. i scrolled over stories that made me gaze over at my sleeping blessings and savor them a bit extra [if that’s even possible!] knowing that all was right in our world, and that’s more than so many others can say. also, i should really learn my lesson about too much social media before coffee. haha. but i started the day with a heaping dose of gratefulness, and that’s really the point i’m trying to make!
aaand then! i saw some friends posting photos oooof… snow!!!!! and i couldn’t wait to look out our window. i knew when the sparkly eyes of my tiny ones opened, it was indeed going to be an exciting and cozy day at home. and i was right! madd has been asking when it was going to snow literally since summertime, and it was rocco’s first time really romping through it!
…oh, i am so lucky to get to experience these things with my littlest loves. honestly, for a long time snow just made me feel bored and lonely, as beautiful as it may be. [well, before we had babies, i’d wind up stuck at our old house all by my lonesome if it ever snowed on a weekday! i do not like being alone, so that didn’t work for me too often! haha!] but now! it’s cozy and bright and joyful. it’s a perfect excuse to stay in and snuggle, to sip some hot cocoa and play festive tunes. for one day, that is! by the end of the second day i’m pretty much always losing my head. 😉
oh and ps. thank you for the visit and for all the fun white fluff, queen elsa!!!

Oh snow days with the little ones are my favorite kind of days! Every now and again a forced stay in day is perfection. Cutest little snow bunnies ever!!
