My children never stop reminding me that it’s the little things in life that bring us great joy. When the snow first began to flutter outside our window, my 5-year-old invited us all to do a snow dance; its choreography consisted of us running around in circles, screaming and laughing and saying, “It’s snowing!” over and over. When the snow kept on falling, she announced, “All my dreams are coming true.”
Here she’s checking to see if the snow is sticking (it wasn’t), but snowflakes are still falling and the temp is dropping so maybe we’ll get lucky.
Sampling a snowflake
I’m so happy!
But I’m not. I’m cold. (My poor 2-year-old is just getting over a virus and didn’t share her sister’s enthusiasm for the nippy weather.)
It's only 9:00am and mine are already out in the "snow" – the 1/2 inch barely covering the grass. 30 minutes of bundling them up like Michelin-men!! But they are having a ball!!
Welcome to my website (formerly known as Momopoly) where I work for children and write about them, too. I'm a wife, a quasi-crunchy, homeschooling mom of four (with two little ones in heaven lost to miscarriage), speaker, and author of Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body. Once upon a time I was a full-time journalist. Nowadays I blog about about whatever is on my mind. Favorite topics include motherhood, my Catholic faith (or lack thereof), body image, natural mothering, and poop. I also write for myriad publications and am a health columnist and senior writer for Faith & Family. Not bored yet? Learn more about yet another mom who blogs.
Your girls would LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Missouri right now! You can have some of this snow! We have plenty to share!!!
