Notes from the Heartland: Snow Day
http://jvanoort.blogspot.com/2013/01/snow-day.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Happy Snow Day friends! We woke up to a snowy wonderland this morning, and how better to celebrate a day off school than blueberry muffins and The Devil Makes Three on Sonos. Don't even get me started on Sonos. I love that thing. Life changing, for reals. The second best thing about days off school? When I was a young mama, many moons ago, I thought, oh won't life be easier when the kids are in school. Well, it's different, but I miss those little turkeys! Love and light,.
