wordless wednesday...i see granny squares & brrrr

instagram tuesday...i made that up just now.

it's cold out...again.
frosty, white and beautiful.
winter in muskoka...
what more can i say about it?
i thought "i've already blogged about winter"...
but it never gets old....
but it always gets cold.
january makes me a little funny.

allie and oliver are going
stir crazy.
bored, bored, bored.
i have to tell them 28 times a day
to behave themselves.
(3 seconds after this moment they wrestled...again)

thankfully...
my friend jill asked for some help decorating.

so i've had some thinking, planning,
sourcing, shopping and delivering to do...

and it's been a beautiful distraction
from the effect january can have on some of us.

the room is coming along nicely...
it's been so fun!
(thanks friend)

last night emma tried out some new
pinterest recipes...
very yummy.
warm baking made everyone impatient.

this morning we woke to an amazingly pretty view.
snow on every little branch...
a fresh blanket of white glitter.
but it's cold...so cold.

there is nowhere else i'd rather be.
it's all good.

hope you're busy, warm, grateful and loved...
happy new year!!
