THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
The weather is starting to warm up here in Utah, but back a few weeks ago this is what it looked like at Bear Lake. It was like an eternal winter. Truly. I couldn’t imagine where all that snow would go.
We invited up a few of our close friends to hang out with us. We hid out in the warm cabin while buckets and buckets of snow came showering down.
I could swear there was at least 4 feet of fresh snow.
We didn’t mind a bit. We chatted, and visited…played some cards…
indulged in a few delicious confections. Might I recommend this fabulous Almond Joy creamer. Please pour it in a mug of hot chocolate at your earliest convenience. It’s heaven in a cup, baby.
After we had been inside for quite a while, a few choice individuals couldn’t stand it one minute longer. The eternal winter was closing in, man. This particular wild cat threw off her comfy socks, rolled up her pjs and just Let It Go, baby. Can you believe all that deep snow out there!
She couldn’t believe it either. For The First Time In Forever, she ran around in circles with snow up to her knee caps.
And then, my guests started dropping like flies. Out into the snow they went…
running and jumping around like they didn’t have a care in the world. I may or may not have passed out on the living room floor from laughing so hard. Now, I don’t know much, but there is one thing I know for sure…I always want to have wonderful people around to laugh at with. That familiar saying about laughter being the best medicine? It rings true for me.
Running through the snow in your bare feet is funny to watch, but it turns out to be a little more pleasant when you put your shoes and socks back on. Note to self.
Cool cat.
Whoa, who let that girl with the yellow hat out of her cage? The hat was 25 cents at Walmart, okay. I just could pass it up. Now that I see it from a distance and on my actual head, I may never wear it again. Another note to self.
We did a bit of sledding…
had a snowball fight or two…
or three…
and then we played in the snow until it was dark outside and we felt like drinking some more Almond Joy Creamer Hot Chocolate. There was a lot of laughter to be had right in the middle of the FROZEN winter. Who would have thought. It was one of my best winter memories, for sure.
We have been loving Disney’s FROZEN soundtrack all winter long, have you heard it? I hate to admit it, but sometimes I listen to it when my kids aren’t around. I know, juvenile isn’t it? I can’t help myself. It puts a big old smile on my face and quite frankly I feel proud to be walking the same planet as the people who are talented enough to write something so clever and endearing. Love it. There are a lot of great messages there.
FROZEN is coming out on DVD this week, on March 18th I believe. I would love to give 3 of you a DVD/SOUNDTRACK combo pack. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me one of the things you loved doing this past winter.
Before you know it, spring will be showing her pretty face…
…and that is a beautiful thing in its own right.
The Giveaway will be open until Tuesday March 18th at midnight. Winners will be announced and contacted on Wednesday March 19th, bright and early with the sunshine.

I live in Duluth, MN. We were truly Frozen this winter (69 straight days of below zero temps). I spent the winter gaining trust and showing lots of love to a 37 year old male Lesser Cockatoo that I rehomed. I wouldn’t change it for anything – he is getting his feathers back, that he had plucked in his former home. I work with a parrot rescue but have fallen in love with him and have decided that this shall be his forever home!
Sharing hot chocolate with our 4 year old granddaughter and also taking pictures of all the beauty in Winter. It’s been long but also God has shown a lot of beauty.
It’s been snow after snow and cold cold cold here in Ohio! We hae been watching DVDS all winter and praying for spring!
I loved snuggling up with my girls and watching movies with my girls this winter. Every Saturday night is movie night.
I love going out sledding with my girls, then following it up with steaming mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Watching my baby enjoy her first snowfall was so fun for me. You only get to do that once!
I loved just sitting inside where it was warm and watching the snow fall with a good book or new puzzle to do!
I enjoyed visiting my family who lives up at Bear Lake. My kids loved playing in the snow with Grandma.
This year was the very first year since my daughter was born that it actually snowed here (Fayetteville, NC)! So this year, my 4 year old and I made the worlds smallest (lopsided) snowman and she had the time of her life! Bribery with hot chocolate was needed to come inside. Best winter ever!
Since I live in Arizona, I loved spending many days at the park, with my kids, in warmth. I love a warm winter!
