❄️ my blizzard spring break


We had a blizzard here in Wisconsin about 2 weeks ago. A record snowfall! I think we ended up with something like 27 inches of snow ❄️. And as I write this, it is almost all melted 😆

With the weather came a few days home from school with my kids, another Magic Puzzle Company puzzle, and some baking. And per the usual spring in Wisconsin, the blizzard was followed by beautifully warm, sunny days.

I hope you had a restful spring break, or are planning a few moments of rest if you haven't had yours yet! On to this week's topics 💡
