We're on SnowDay #3 here...

Thankfully, our in-home meteorologist (a.k.a. Dave) alerted us to this possibility last week, so we have a fully stocked fridge, pantry, and library shelf to tie us over until we can get out again.

We think schools will be open tomorrow. 🤞🏻

If you're stuck inside during the polar vortex, I've got several more inside projects and yummy recipes to fill your hours.

Blessings,
