Good morning! We are two weeks into the new year and I am wondering how you are doing? I don’t make New Years resolutions, as I mentioned here but I know that many do and so I am curious are you sticking to your goals? Last week the weather was rainy, cold and grey for 5 days…
Winter can be a long, lonely, gloomy few months and it is definitely a time to enjoy the little things. This month I am savoring the days that I was snowed in and decided to do nothing but relax, read, watch movies and eat comfort food. The beauty of a snowfall from inside a warm…

Good morning! I hope that you are having a good week so far. I have been housebound for the most part. Our roads are treacherous, so aside from driving to yoga I haven’t felt like battling them. The temperature is rising and a thaw is finally coming, the kids are back to school tomorrow…
Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was spent at home doing a little work, cleaning and surviving the “bomb cyclone” that hit the east coast. In my area the storm started late Wednesday and I woke up Thursday to this view from my kitchen window. Eleven inches of snow, 25-30 mile and hour winds,…

Everything you love about French onion soup — the jammy onions, the melted cheese, the deep savory warmth — tucked between two buttered slices of crusty bread. When old man winter arrives, I am all about warm comfort food. Most of the time that means a steamy bowl of soup. But some nights I want…
I love snow! If you have read my posts for any length of time you know that Fall and Winter are my favorite times of the year. I grew up where we experienced four seasons, and I even lived in Alaska for a two years, perhaps that is where my love of the snow comes from…
It is freezing here in Milwaukee, actually it is colder than that, I think yesterday the high was 15! Are you kidding me? Last week it was 50 and now it is 15, what a wacky winter! My favorite thing to do on a wintry day is to hunker down with piles of magazines, book…
Simple beauty. Nature is filled with so many beautiful things, if we just open our eyes and see. Pine cones and acorns happen to be one of my favorite “treasures” from nature. Each time I go walking and find one I feel like I am finding a piece of gold! I felt the same way…
