I really am delighted with winter!<\/span><\/div>\n

Yo<\/i>u can’t have those sweet rosy noses and cheeks with out it.<\/i>
Or wear thick sweaters and knit scarves each day without it.<\/i>
Mittens and toques with pompoms are a must have and a must enjoy.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Trips to the outdoor rink, to the toboggan hill, snow forts and snow angels and the amazing way the house feels when you freshly return from winter adventures.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

(Our home, a couple winters ago.\u00a0 We don’t have this much snow yet this year.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Ones house never feels so inviting in the warm months of the year!<\/i>
How perfect a big hot mug of tea or hot chocolate feel whether going warmly down your throat or just being held in your chilled hands!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Such glorious domesticity blooms in ones heart as you unpack your snow covered children, rediscovering them from underneath loads of winter clothes and you place a warm cup of love in their sweet little hands.\u00a0 Just standing over the pot of home made hot coco is enough to make me feel like a great mom.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
(A day gone by, at the community toboggan hill will the whole crew.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Yes winter takes a lot of work and requires effort and yet this is why the little moments feel so very good this time of year.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Hurrah for winter!<\/i><\/p>\n
