Even our little ones can exude a bit more … [Read more...] about Keeping Your Happy through Winter

Pursuing A Slow December

November 19, 2020 by Erin Vincent 9 Comments

Hello, December, my old friend. I see you've made it around once again. Usually, the thought of you sends me into a blind panic.

This year things will be different. This year I'm pursuing you differently. I'm after a slow … [Read more...] about Pursuing A Slow December

Make Maple Syrup Snow Candy

Like "Little House in the Big Woods" Make Maple Syrup Snow Candy! We were so thrilled to get our first snow of the season! It was white, fluffy, and gloriously cold! So cold in fact that, if out long enough, your face and hands hurt! The children pointed out that when the sun's rays hit it just right; it looked like millions of diamonds covering the ground. Of course, the first thing I wanted to … [Read more...] about Make Maple Syrup Snow Candy

Winter Hike with Friends

December 10, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Winter has come to East Tenneesee and while it's still considered fall (a minor technicality, really as the Winter Solstice is only a few days away) the temperatures agree with me. At 30 degrees on our favorite mountain, it is winter my friend. The cold is nipping at our noses and we have broken out the scarves, mittens, and winter coats! Imagine the thrill and delight we had when our … [Read more...] about Winter Hike with Friends
