Snow Days -Continued-

Oh blogger…I'm beginning to have a love/hate relationship with you. I was just about to post pictures from our 12-14 inch Carolina snow and you went all CrAzY on me. And yes, I did say 12-14 inches! Isn't that nuts?!? Especially here in the south! Anyway, shall we try this again? :)

Snow Angels

He'll never know his snowsuit was pink, right???

I forgot to mention that we were without power for several hours like 6 hours  on one of the days we were snowed in. ALL I could think about was bedtime…HOW would we manage without heat, a nightlight and our sound machine?!? Lucky for us, we didn't have to worry about that. But…my Dad was quick to power up the generator and start the search online for any hotel availability, just in case!

We enjoyed sledding, snowball fights, making snow angels, eating snow cream, the roaring fires, building snowmen, and of course snuggling to stay warm. Snow is pretty and fun…but I'm over it in about 2 days. Bring on Spring!! We're ready for you, sunshine!

Snow Days

Have you ever been snowed in? We were seriously snowed in last week at my Mom and Dad's. It very rarely snows down here in Georgia…but we got a double whammy all within about 2 weeks. The first snow came while we were home in Georgia…J enjoyed his little time sledding down our hill out front, and I was furious at the hubs for keeping him outside too long in his little wet (with snow) gloves and rain boots!! 

Look at his sweet face...he hasn't seen snow since he was a baby!

"It's snowing, Momma!!!!"

Sledding in our "big" snow!
Little did we know what we'd be experiencing in North Carolina in about a week and a half!!!



Now for a few pictures of the Carolina snow. Mom and Dad live on the lake, so it usually gets a lot less snow (when it snows) than say…down the road. We were not as prepared for this snow, as my littles had polar fleece jackets and thin Patagonia coats. Thank God for Facebook and for friends that saw our need from a simple post I posted about us being unprepared. These friends were blessings to us, for sure!! We scored a real snow coat for J, along with some boots and a fluffy pink snow suit for H! Who cares that he looked like Ralphie from "A Christmas Story"?!?! He was a cutie in the snow, if only for a few minutes! 

A New Beginning and Feeling Inspired

Crazy how the tiniest things can inspire you. Today I won something (that I have been longing for,  seriously longing for!)….for my kiddos. It made me feel like a million bucks, on top of the world, and squealing like a kid on Christmas morning when I saw my name. Ridiculous, I know….but I was (and still am) pretty excited and feeling lucky! (More details on that at a later date…let's just say I won from following and entering a giveaway on a blog.) 

Anyway, I've been thinking about my blog and what direction I want to go with it. I have a couple Mommy friends, whom I adore- who all have blogs and I absolutely love reading them. (Lori, Julia)  I thought to myself, I can do that. I need something else to do. ;) 

No really, I have a wonderful life with the sweetest husband and the most precious little boys you could ever imagine. I want to remember these moments, pictures, events, and stories forever. I want to treasure these memories so I can look back one day and laugh (or cry), depending on how the post moves me.  Plus, my Mom always says I need to write my stories down because the stories I tell her (about my life or my boys) are so hilarious or just that unbelievable. So….here we go.

This blog will be about me, my hopes, my dreams, my boys, my crafty ideas and DIY projects, with some fashion, recipes, photography, giveaways and other things that I care about. I hope you follow me on this sweet, yet sometimes crazy journey of mommy-hood. In the upcoming weeks, I'll be trying to spiff the blog up and gain some followers, so bear with me as I learn how to do just that. I'm excited about this new outlet/hobby of mine and can't wait to start documenting our sweet story. 

xoxo~
