Whimsy and Spice

We’ve had fun in the snow again this week… starting with a very competitive snowball fight in the forest… boys against parents. It all started when the parents wanted to go for a walk in the forest after the snowfall. Boys weren’t keen for a walk… until a snowball fight was suggested. I can’t tell […]
Waiting For Something Increases It’s Value

It snowed yesterday and everything is once again covered in a blanket of powder-white snow. It’s magnificent. I seriously can’t get over how beautiful it is. I walk out over the squeaking snow and smile with joy, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be here in this very spot at this very time. […]

Make a Winter Wonderland

Kitty was the one who spotted this wonderful apothecary jar at a recent garage sale. We snapped it up and Kitty has had big winter wonderland plans for it every since. Here is our Winter Wonderland terrarium. It adds magic to our snow-less Southern Californian Christmas.
A Day in the Snow.
Oh, it’s been so cold! The warm t-shirt weather of a few weeks ago has been replaced by woolly jersey weather here in Southern California… just the perfect weather for a trip up into the snowy San Bernardino mountains. An early start for the hour and a half journey. Ham and cheese toasties in the […]
