How Sounds of Mother Nature’s Silence Flew Back Into Our Lives With A Heart-Warming Week That Was

The silence of our odd and snowy-less-than normal winter was broken this past week. We woke up the day after Valentine's Day to a snow-covered magical, almost sacred-like yard. The mid-week storm lead us into the cold blast ending the week with a heart-warming moment you're going to smile at too.

Breaking The Silence of Why It’s Important To Have Impeccable Meal Timing And Other Tiny Fibs

It's not breakfast time yet, it's 4 ish AM. I'm here at the bloggers' helm with just a cup of salty coffee to keep me warm. I sit here in silence as I scroll through the photos I took the past week: scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
