Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
Our holiday was nice and long since Mr. 65th took time off after Christmas but I'm just now getting back into a regular routine.
I get a little sad once it's all over since we have the long winter ahead of us, so we try to embrace it and get outside to play and get some fresh air...we get cooped up here in the Midwest.
Mr. 65th avenue and I have been snowshoeing for years and were excited to get the little one out there again. We took her out last year and she did ok but this time she really loved it! She even wanted to conquer a good sized hill all by herself and after a few tries she did.
The woods are so beautiful in the winter and it's fun to see all the animal footprints crisscrossing though the trees. It's great exercise too.
Well, I am off to get some organizing done. I'm hoping to pack up lots of things for goodwill in the next few days. I feel like I have to get things in order before any new projects get started.
If you want some motivation to get your home organized stop by Honey We're Home. Megan is running a series of posts dedicated to getting organized for the New Year. I will be her guest Monday January 10th sharing tips on how to keep the toys in order.
that looks like so much fun!!! we haven't had so much snow this year, well compared to out 80 inches last year!
ReplyDeletehave fun and give the snow an embrace for me!
Well we have plenty of snow around here ... for now at least! I LOVE the idea of snow shoeing - I wouldn't have even thought of that ... hmmmm? Time for a trip to the sports store?!?!
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss seeing the snow. We don't really get 'any' snow down here in Florida ;) -Although yesterday on my way home I drove through a patch of thick sleet [it was down pouring all day] which was odd, but it only lasted about 2.5 seconds.
ReplyDeleteLove the snow! What fun that you all can enjoy that as a family activity.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow....so fun that you guys live somewhere you can enjoy so much beauty! I am looking forward to your post on toys!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2011!
OMG. Photo of her walking in snowshoes is PRECIOUS!
ReplyDeleteI miss the snow we used to get in western Michigan. Western Massachusetts gets bubkus (or however you spell that)
Wow...that is a lot of snow! I have never been snowshoeing but it looks like a lot of fun, a good workout, too! Your daughter is precious!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Londen, I love that line "How can I be a better mom, wife, friend and daughter and make this year fabulous?" Now that I found your blog I look forward to reading it often in 2011!
ReplyDeleteWell there you are you little cutie patootie! I was wondering where you had gotten off too. Love the little one in her pinkness! I can't wait to read your tips, but I would much rather you just come and organize the toys for me! Wouldn't that be fun?!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is seriously adorable! Great new year post:) You have your priorities straight for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes! I'll post all the pics from my party in a few weeks! Love your lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Londen, I wondered about those snow shoes. Sometimes I see them for sale at TJMaxx, and was wondering if there is a secret for buying the right type for the person who is going to use them. Do they go by weight of the snow shoe-er?
ReplyDeleteHow I would LOVE to go snowshoeing! The silence of the woods in the snow....ahhh. La Petite looks adorable in her outfit, and quite determined in her stride!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun...Your little one looks adorable in pink head to toe!
ReplyDeleteso glad someone is!
ReplyDeletei'm ready for it to go away!
How cute is she in those little snow shoes! I keep hoping for snow but so far we don't have any.
ReplyDeleteI just bought snowshoes yesterday and can't wait to try them out! Your lil girl is so cute in them.
