Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Dear Friends,
Do you get snow days where you live? In North Carolina, it does not take a lot of winter precipitation to slow things down, or in most cases, shut things down. We are not equipped to deal with snow since it does not come along that often where I live.
So snow days for me are a day to slow down. They are a little like a holiday. Outside appointments that have been scheduled are changed. The boys are motivated to do their school work quickly and efficiently, so they can play outside. When I am sitting at my computer writing, I have a lovely view.
Snow days give us a day to reflect and have a little break from the normal schedule. They also bring an increase in laundry and cause my floors to be a little wetter. By the afternoon, gloves, hats, boots, and clothes are wet and hanging by the door on the drying rack.
Snow days mean comfort food. Soup in the electric pressure cooker. Hot chocolate in the coffee mugs. We make some fun memories on snow days. It makes me think back to my childhood and snow days.
How many of you remember wearing bread bags over your shoes and gloves to keep your hands and feet dry? (Snow in the South is really wet snow most of the time.) How many of you enjoyed tomato soup with grilled cheese for lunch? How many of you remember making snow men or snow angels?
You can make memories with your children. Go outside and play with them. Even if you don’t have any snow, you can make memories and do special things with your children. Live each day with love and joy!
Life is for learning, living, and love.
Today’s Zone Mission is to check your supplies in the bathroom and laundry room. Add items to your shopping list as needed.
Your Home Blessing for today is to declutter paper and magazines.
My menu plan for Thursday is leftovers.
Have a great day!
What a lovely post:) I’m married to a teacher and live in Michigan, so we get a few snow days too, and usually take school off to hang out with my husband. We have a little hill out back that is perfect for little kid sledding (and mom and dad, too). It’s been a ton of fun this year to sled with the kids. I always want to stay inside where it’s cozy, but I’m always thankful when I don’t decline my kids’ invitation to play! Some of the best moments all winter:)
You are welcome! Great job on getting outside and playing with your children!
