    Ice and Snow Brought Out the Birds

    January 21, 2020

    Our weekend was bracketed with snow and ice, which kept the family immobile for much of what turned out to be a four-day mini indoor stay-cation. Although I was pretty much climbing the walls with my nine-year-old son by yesterday, there were a few bright spots to our confinement.

They are Super Bowl bound for the first time in 50 years and it has been so exciting to watch the journey.

If you something you like, I encourage you to follow that person as well. That’s all there is to it — simple and sweet!    Good morning – hope you all have lovely things planned today x #kitchen#home#pretty#heartofthehome#home#pastelcolours#cooking#range A post shared by Periwinkle Cottage (@periwinklecottage) on Apr 7, 2018 at 12:22am PDT I’m digging those adorable backsplash tiles!!  …
