snowed in

our dreams for a snow day began on tuesday afternoon. (jeremy works at an afterschool program, so whenever the school has a snow day, he does too!). they canceled the afterschool programs because of an impending blizzard, so we hunkered down at home. and then the blizzard came. and it snowed and snowed and snowed. and the wind blew. and we were warm and cozy in our little house. 

we woke to a world covered in white. and it was still snowing. and even my husband's seminary was closed, which was good because there was no way we could have gotten down our street or even out of our driveway. and so we settled in for a snow day. and what makes a good snow day at our house? 

 the back door that would barely open. we were literally...snowed in.


a porch covered with snow.


extra time for studies for him.


and coffee to go with them.


a bit of reading for me.


and lots of reading for her. this is one of her current favorites. she giggles every time we get to "c is for curtsy".



some baking. i have to be honest - i thought these cookies looked a lot better than they tasted. they were made with almond flour, honey, and a few other ingredients. the taste was a disappointment, but...they look good anyway.


some coconut flour bread. it was very yummy. especially drizzled with raw honey.


and some crafting. i finished this little bend friend, and i have a couple of other projects in the works. i need a name for her. any suggestions?


some flowers from my love. given to me pre-snow day, but they are still bright and blooming. the perfect little companions for a dreary day of snow.


jeremy has school today, but he has another snow day from work, so we will have some more extra time as a family. we are soaking it up. and the sun is shining today, so everything looks brighter.
