gratitude tuesday : week four

Being snowed in and subsequent snow day baking!

Haley and I fixed the most glorious homemade icecream sandwiches this past weekend. With that said, I guess I am also thankful for vanilla icecream, sugar cookies, and little but willing sticky toddler fingers too :)

Homemade Icecream Sandwiches

Oh, being snowed in does good things for the soul. Everything seems to go slower, hugs are longer and warmer, and one can find contentment in all the things that they would otherwise find themselves too busy to do- baking cookies, completing a puzzle, sewing a dress, finishing a book, painting a picture.

Haley and I did a little baking and made some delicious homemade icecream sandwiches. She was such a great helper and I was so excited to eat what she cooked.

Her lastest game she likes to play is "airplane"





We hope all our snowed in friends had a lovely time enjoying life's simple pleasures. And if you're not snowed in, we hope you take a second to do something that will make your heart happy :)

Baking with a two year old...

Today I am grateful for sticky fingers, chicklet teeth, a daughter who calls every cookie cutter shape "triangles!" and the imperfect cookie cutting methods of an inventive 2 year old.

Haley is presently passed out on the couch, belly full of cookies and cookie cutters still in hand. I love that girl! <3
