Taking a walk by myself, in my magical backyard.

Watching my little girl play in the snow for the first time, in her over-sized snowsuit.

This chocolate, which makes perfect peppermint hot cocoa, when mixed into simmering milk on the stove. Just the thing, after playing in the snow.

This decadent, delicious homemade granola. White chocolate, dried cherries, coconut, and macadamia nuts. Recipe on the gorgeous Local Milk blog, here.

These comfy boots, because last winter I made do with my ballet flats and enormous snow boots. It’s so nice to have something in between and just right for most days.
