Snow Day - No car day!

What did you do on your snow day? If you don’t live in East Tennessee you may be saying, “What snow day?”  Yesterday we woke up to 5+ inches of snow. Which was okay, it was predicted and it was Sat. – good timing. Really, it is nice being home, feeling good and not have a choice to leave. One of my clients with young children says she tries to plan “No car days.” We definitely had a “No car day.” That would probably do a lot to reduce our stress as adults if we did that regularly. This area of the country isn’t equipped like the North to clean the roads quickly, and with our hills, mountains and curvy roads it is smarter to stay home.

I slept in, fixed pancakes for breakfast and then did a project on my list – dug through, cleaned out and organized (putting like items together) several drawers of tablecloths and stuff like that. Did drag my daughter in to show her which ones were family pieces, so in case I croak someone would know where the older ones came from. Maybe I should practice what I preach and label them with their history. Don’t ask me why they were in these drawers, but at the bottom were several board games, such as Mother Goose. They will stay out because shortly my 3-year old granddaughter will be ready to play them. That is fun to think about.

In the afternoon I read a book and relaxed. Tomorrow I plan to try a recipe I dug out that I used to make as a teenager, Spanish Cream. Now, if you have looked at my picture on the website, you will realize that that wasn’t yesterday. I wonder if I will even like it, but it will be interesting to see.

 I took a walk and enjoyed the beautiful snow in the woods.

So what did you do on your day at home?

No organizing tips for today – Relax and have fun!
