.snowy day in nashville.

22::365

Greetings from a very cold, and white Nashville! We received anywhere from 4" - 6" of snow and ice all day yesterday. The roads in our neighborhood now are slabs of compacted snow, topped off with a nice, sheen layer of frozen rain. Makes for a good sledding surface I suppose. It's too bad we have no sled! Considered a trash can lid and rope, but thought better of it. Ha! So instead, we stomped around the front yard with our little one who was more than eager to hear the crunching sounds beneath her feet. The above photo is a snapshot of her doing just that. Oh to be a kid again!

Starting today, I'll be back on track with Project 365. I have to admit that the whole ordeal with the accident really put me in a funk. I had thought about taking several photos to "catch up" on the project, but decided that it would be less stressful and more authentic to just pick up where I left off. So, here's to getting back in the groove! Hope every one of you have been doing well and are enjoying this beautiful weekend! See you tomorrow!

.go ahead and bite me!.

Dark, spicy, pearly white smile. . . who can resist such a treat!  Makes you want to bite a chunk of leg off!  Ha!  Well in celebration of the "countdown to Christmas," check out what the gals over at fiddlesticks & funnygirls have rounded up to for the "12th Day of Christmas."  Some neat ideas to help you prep for some wonderful holiday giving.  My personal fave are the rain boots used as stockings!  How clever is that?!  Hope they were new boots.  ;oP  I want to wish everyone a fantabulous week to come!  

.oh the weather outside!.

Lastnight, we encountered our first real snow here in Nashville.  Well, actually it first started off as sleet and rain, then turned into ice and snow.  Now it wasn't like we got 2 feet of snow (more like 2 inches), but still, it managed to cover the ground nicely.  Ice and all.  Ha!  The sun is coming out now.  The ice that has formed on the bare tree limbs outside are glistening like diamonds!  So pretty!!  What does a girl do when it's nice and chilly (and apparently sparkly) outside?  She makes hot chocolate.  Hey!  Why not top it off with some whipped cream and a candy cane!  Mmm. . . addicting. . . 

Well it looks like there are only 13 days left until Christmas arrives.  We have had "The Polar Express" playing on the DVD since Saturday as it has become Aisie's favorite movie.  There are gifts to be wrapped, more cards to send out, gingerbread cookies to bake, hot chocolate with peppermint sticks to consume. . . yes, I would say that it's definitely looking a lot like Christmas!!  Hope you and yours have a cozy weekend!
