winter walks

As I mentioned in my last post it has been cold and wet here. We haven't played in the backyard all week, and only went to the park once. We were the only ones there and it was 41 degrees.

We have baked cookies, painted, played with friends, decorated the xmas tree, played with the big train set, made more cookies, and more cookies, and more cookies and done everything you can do inside.

And then it dawned on me that people all around the world have much colder winters, and they probably just bundle up and get their butts outside, so we have been doing the same.

Everyday we bundle up (this seriously takes up to 25 minutes to do) and head out for our nature walk. We come back a bit cold, muddy, and wet, but refreshed for sure.

Nothing lifts the mood like being outside with the fresh air blowing on your face. Nothing takes away stress like a little exercise, and nothing makes you a better mommy than seeing your kids run wild with the happiest expressions on their faces.
