Embracing the snow

Welcome 2011! We have a brand new year to start fresh...I always love a fresh start don't you?  How can I be a better mom, wife, friend and daughter and make this year fabulous? These are some of the things I have been thinking about lately and want to strive for.


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.

  3. Oh 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.

  9. Well 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?!

  12. Hi 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?
