hello california snowmen

It’s been warm here in California BUT lately we’ve had some rain and things have cooled off a bit. We need the rain so badly and we’re feeling thankful and cozy. Since it doesn’t snow where we are, we have to get creative with making snowmen. This year, the cousins painted snowman ornaments. I found these at Target and they were a HIT!

It’s a brand new week. How about some hellos?

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***

  1. I have already devoured a dozen gingersnap cookies… they’re just so yummy with that second cup of “gray skies” coffee! So, yes, January is for new beginning. 😉

    It really is tough finding something all the kids will enjoy, and this craft is a cute score.
