I'm 5'11"...

just incase you were wondering. No really, see below...

The snowbank on my street has a few inches on me. 

The arrow below shows where we were standing (my little guy was on that big ball of snow). 

 This spring is gonna be the best one yet!



Would you rather...

 So out of curiosity, I'm just wondering which igloo would you choose to vacation in...

 the real deal or a more tropical version?

 I personally opt for heat.  I have never been able to wrap my head around vacationing in an ice hotel.  Although it does look amazing and I have it on the "someday" list, I just hate being cold. I'm afraid I'd ruin the trip for anyone with me because I'd bitching about numb toes. They would need to silence me with large amounts of alcohol or an electric blanket.  Anyone out there have any good stories to convince me otherwise?



In the mean time, 20" of snow are due in the next two days. I'll have plenty of time to practice building my own igloo and toughen up,

and will have to wait a bit longer to enjoy one of these...



Hunkering down...

We have yet another snow day up here in the Boston area, and I have my little ones vying for my undivided attention... so this post will be short.  Although I am growing weary of the abundance of the white stuff, it really is pretty.  These are shots from my front and back windows.  That's a 6' fence, so there is almost 3' on the ground. I'm off to build a fire and play Hot Wheels,

but I wanted to share one image that suites the mood.

I happened upon this fireplace here.  I just love the benches right next to it.  I personally find myself perched on my hearth because I am chronically freezing.  This looks like a muck cozier option, just add a warm mug and a book. Heaven on a day like today. Enjoy your snow day East Coast!
