Here in the Midwest/lower Great Lakes region, Winter can be a mixed bag of "fun." Some days you get rain, others you get snow or cold, and still others are sunny and t-shirt weather. You just never know what to make of the weather around here! When it's nasty outside, I like to stay inspired by reading a book or watching a show. That is just what I did today whilst eating the yummy
Blueberry Jam Muffins I made this morning for breakfast (though the blog about THAT is pending due to a technical glitch *boo!!* that has been driving me bonkers!!). I was looking forward to my DVR'd episode of
When Calls the Heart...
If you're not familiar with the series, it's a
show on the Hallmark channel based on the books by Janette Oke. As a teen, I couldn't get enough of her books, including that series, and I was absolutely thrilled when it was turned into a show a few years ago!
The fact that it was a Christmas special was nice so that I could extend the spirit of Christmas into this week. It really made my day, especially since today was my first official day of being "unemployed" from the 9-to-5 scene as well as my first day as something I haven't been for several years - a Stay at Home Mom but also a Work at Home Mom because of my writing. You would have thought my preteen would have awoken with the smell of yummy muffins baking, but no. At least she was finally awake halfway through the show, at which point she came to snuggle and watch along with me.
Aside from baking and tv viewing, I also concocted my own spa scrub, which you will be able to read all about in another blog in the Inspirations section if the website is working right! So all-in-all, this has been a pretty good Winter's day. May they all be just as cozy this season!
