Hello friends!
We are deep into winter.
Snow. Ice. Cold temps.
I have learned to embrace winter, well in January anyways, March and April, not so much.
We started out the new year making a harrowing 350 mile drive on snow packed icy roads to meet our precious new granddaughter! Words truly cannot express the deep joy and thankfullness at the arrival of this new life, not to mention the blessing of witnessing my daughter embrace motherhood with such grace and beauty.
This new role for me is far richer than I ever could imagine…
I am smitten!!
Since my return home I have been sulking around feeling like 350 miles away is wayyyy to far!
To distract myself from this fact, and since the snow outside makes me think of, well white,
I thought I would share some pictures from around the house of my winter whites.
If you follow me on instagram these will seem very familar 🙂
My orchid finally bloomed again! I can’t believe I haven’t killed it yet.
I have been switching to succulents lately…
Well, we are packing up to head back over…
Can’t seem to get enough of our new little one!
Life.Is.Good.
Blessings,
Cindy
