What’s better than chocolate chip cookie dough? A SNOW DAY!

The top 5 MUST DO things on a snow day.

 

#5  Clean!  There is nothing more gratifying than having a clean house.  I usually have to start much smaller with a cleaning goal- like one drawer.  After binge-watching Marie Kondo on Netflix, I tackled my dresser drawer. Here is a pic of my t-shirt drawer.  

 

#4 Bake  I love baking and snow days are a great excuse to bake.  When my kids were little it was tradition to bake homemade cinnamon rolls and then go sledding.  Now the kids are all grown up and at college. This year I started a new tradition and I baked cookies for my class.  I also baked brownies, but after the 5th snow day, the brownies have disappeared… Sorry, 5th graders!

 

#3  Drink something HOT!  The important thing here is choosing the correct mug.  It can not be just any old cup, in fact, it needs to be a mug.  For me, it needs to be rounded so that I can wrap my hands around the warmth.  It also needs to be huge, because you have a SNOW DAY, not a snow moment so you might as well enjoy a huge drink.  In the mornings, it must be coffee with creamer and my wonderful husband. Later in the day, there is nothing better than watching the snow fall with my favorite mug of rich chocolaty yumminess.

 

Here is a pic of my favorite mug for the moment.

 

#2  READ  Of course a teacher is going to say READ!  There is nothing better than snuggling with my blanket and being led off into a wonderful new world.  I just finished Grisham’s Sycamore Row and it will have me thinking for a long time. Today I get the excitement of choosing my next great book.

 

#1 Walk in the snow  I love walking and running outside.  Right now running outside is pretty treacherous, so my dog Moodie and I are sticking to the walk plan. This week we are getting to know the snow plow guy and we are chatting with all the neighbors as they shovel snow from their driveways.  Walking in the snow on the beach makes everything extra beautiful. Watching the snow fall is always magical. It is inspirational to watch the water molecules line up form brilliant hexagons. (You didn’t think I would leave MATH off the top 5 list did you?)

Enjoy your snow days. PLAY!!! Have fun and be safe.

    5. Sleeping in… I love sleeping in and I also love my family sleeping in. I get to enjoy the quiet of the morning.
    4. Binge watching T.V.
    3. Reconnecting with friends- life is busy so a little down time to reconnect is nice!
    2. unexpected adventures: This year’s unexpected adventures included sledding, a coffee date and a pedi with my BFF (Mrs. Schaffler)
    1. Family time: (After the quiet morning- of course!) Being able to spend some time together doing things we love. Today it will be going to the movies!
    Stay warm and enjoy the snow while it lasts.
    Thank you Mrs. Novy for the interactive post!!

    1. Watch it snow! It’s so beautiful and mesmerizing watching the snow blow in the streetlights at night.
    2. Be lazy. Watch lots of home remodeling shows like Windy City Rehab. See the host have meltdowns when things go wrong and then work her through the problems to success at the end. A good life lesson.
    3. Cook some good, healthy meals. Bake oatmeal raisin cookies! Yum.
    4. Read a great book. For our book club meeting tonight, we read one of my new all-time favorites–Before We Were Yours. A well-written historical fiction novel, it alternates between present day and 1930’s narrators. I felt like I was there!
    5. Cross country ski on the river trail by my house. Beautiful and quiet!
    6. Watch my kittens play and be goofballs. They entertain themselves quite well. Just have to keep them from eating my plants.
