An Introduction to Winter

On behalf of the weather we've received, I've been daydreaming my life away thinking of the months to come and the coziness that will ensue. Big blankets, hot chocolates, blustery wind blowing outside while being warm in the house, cuddles on the couch, late night car rides through the slow drifting snow...

Here's a few photos to get you daydreaming, too!

Athena, the Nor'Easter.

The East Coast cannot catch a break. It seems to be one insane thing after another; a big earthquake in Maine, a monster hurricane that tore the eastern seaboard apart, and now a Nor'Easter. Rhode Island was supposed to escape relatively unscathed, however where I am in the northern part of state, it's been continuous snow. It came quite early actually, where it was supposed to come for a few hours around 5pm, it slowly started at noontime and picked up very fast. There's a really strong, chilling wind that will freeze your bones.


At the start of the storm on my break at work, I braved mother nature and snapped a few photos.


the first flakes..

































shitty ride home, that's for sure!


As for now, I'm ready to finish watching season one of GIRLS and cuddle in the warmth of my house. Stay toasty xoxo

Snow Day!

Rhode Island has really yet to see snow until this past week, and I must say I am beyond happy! On thursday we got around an inch, and that was better than nothing. Today, waking up to flakes and a white ground just set the morning off perfectly.

For now, I'll be out enjoying the snow!

Today was such a slow paced day, I loved it! {I'll save my reasons for this for a later date, but...} Gabe and I rolled out of bed pretty late this morning, hung around, cleaned up a bit and made a delicious big breakfast. We got dressed and headed to do a little running around. Driving around in the snow is so much fun! Gabe decided to go snowboarding with Rogaa, who could blame them, with all this fresh powder. My car is out of commission currently, so I'm home bound. Been organizing and cleaning, even ordered some Chinese food, yummyy. Ari is at her Mem & Babas for the night, surely having a blast with them and her Auntie V! As for me, I'll be taking advantage of a quiet house by doing the rest of the cleaning, and going out with Gabe for a drink when he gets back to the city :]

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Xo~

Sunday = no fun day

What a yuck day! It's been snowing and raining, miserably cold. As you all know my countdown to spring has been in effect for a while, and only a little over three weeks to go until the welcomed new season arrives. Can't wait! Lots of gardening to be done this year. I got my late birthday present from my parents last night, and one of the gifts is an indoor herb garden! I'll be growing chives, dill, and marjoram. Starting it tomorrow (today) hah. ♥

Anyway, dealing with a sick kid = no fun. A is getting over Fifths Disease, a common childhood virus. She's been fine except for this morning, when all she wanted to do was cuddle and read books. She was herself again by the afternoon, but ohhh the whining!







Another bad mill fire in the city today at a chemical dye plant. Our water was brown for quite a while! Interesting how the building was actually supposed to be demolished this week, and just happened to catch on fire when there is no utilities going to the building. That's about the 4th one in ten years!

My mind is everywhere right now! Of course it would be on the one night I actually need to sleep. Did you forget what tomorrow is? My first day back to school. :) I am nervous, but so excited and happy. A will be staying home with C tomorrow so I'm grateful for the fact I won't be worrying about her at daycare on my first day. This weekend seemed to have brought me a strange turn of luck. Lets hope it keeps up!

I hope you all have a wonderful beginning to the work week! xo
