Summer and Spring are a celebration of the outdoors.  Sprinklers sprinkling, birds chirping, flowers blooming and sticky popsicles dripping down little chins.

The happy sunshine begs for you to come play in it and your toes can’t help but bury themselves in warm grass.

And then comes fall and winter.

When the air is crisp, and sometimes downright cold.  The sun plays peek a boo behind the gray clouds, and the wind whips itself around.

Now, instead of spending every moment outside, the focus is turned squarely on the comforting warmth of the indoors.

Home is like a cocoon of happy and cozy.

Hot cocoa in Wedgewood mugs warms little bellies.

And just what is it about those little dehydrated nuggets of mallow that make or break the hot cocoa experience?

Is it possible to not sigh and smile even just a little after the first sip?

Or to have an impressive cocoa mustache?

Bringing some of the outdoors in with its bold colors always helps too.

A hodge podge of jars filled with sunflowers and a matching pumpkin make for a simple and pretty centerpiece.

Lighting deliciously scented candles in the middle of the day somehow seems to warm up a room more than the central heating.

And it tricks people into thinking I’ve been baking all day.

Brand new fuzzy slippers for the year.

With glittered and bedazzled hearts please.

I love how the fall and winter make my home a place of refuge and coziness.  Where we can cuddle up, little toes vying for the warmest spot, and spend time as a family in a way that the fun and sunshine of the summer cannot bring.  This time of year it’s all about cuddling up, getting close, and sharing blankets.

I love making my home that place.  It makes me happy.

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.
