I think that I am in the minority when I say that I love snow days, I have since I was a child (well, who didn’t love snow days as a child?). I love being snowed in with my family, with nowhere to go and no obligations. Snow days are the kind of days where you can get away with canceling plans, shirking responsibilities, and staying in your pajamas all day long. Staying all cozy in loungewear all day is the perfect feeling, especially when you get to spend your time in a comfortable and perfect kigurumi outfit; these are so cute! When the children are in school I fill my days with projects, cleaning, errands, tasks, lists, chores, and the like. When they are home from school I try to focus on them instead of the to-do list. I try to make our time at home fun and special. So when we have a snow day it’s a special sort of day perfect for cuddling, watching movies, reading books, playing games and of course….playing in the snow.

Here’s how we spent our snow days this week:
