Thoughts on January

Hello friends, we’ve had quite a bit of snow since Christmas day. I love a white winter. (smile) Fresh fluffy snow makes me think of happy memory making. Building snow families with our daughter when she was little. It always had to be a family, not just a single snowman. Building forts and snowmen with our grandchildren gave me just as much joy. Happy memories can easily be made in the freezing cold weather if hot chocolate and a warm blanket are waiting just inside the door.

Thoughts on January

Oh and I can’t forget that bowls of comfort are made this time of year. I love a nice homemade bowl of soup, don’t you? When I was young, we would put a chicken bouillon cube into a mug and pour hot water over it to make soup. That was always a tummy warmer. We would occasionally have Campbells tomato soup with toast fingers ( toasted bread cut into strips) for dunking. But my favorite was always Campbells mushroom soup, my Mum made it with a mix of milk and water.

This time of year also has me loving all of the wonderful catalogs I get in the mail. Serena and Lily ( I am not affiliated with them, I just like their things) just speaks to me, they have so many things I would love to add to our home. Oh and Pottery Barn too they know my style! ( I am not affiliated with them either, I just like their things) Do you dog ear or mark catalogs when you see things you like? Or do you prefer the internet shopping experience. The truth is I like them both!

thoughts on January

I was just talking about comfort food when I thought about the marinara from last summer’s garden tomatoes in the freezer. A flood of harvest memories came to mind, but tomatoes warmed by the sun is always a favorite. It’s national spaghetti day today! So guess what we’re having for dinner (smile).

January often has me re-organizing things. My hubby just said, “why do you need a new shelving unit in the art room when it is already so well organized?” My reply, it’s just time to replace the plastic one, it’s cracking under the weight of the gemstones I use in my Zen Spirit Malas shop, and I know there has to be a better way to do it.

I pray January brings fond memories for you and that this finds you happy and healthy. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday for the TFT blog hop!

    I didn’t grow up in an area that got snow but soup on a cold day is very nostalgic for me

    Thank you for the wonderful, positive spin on January, Katherine! I usually dread January, but you have reminded me of some good memories. And, of course, soup, one of my favorite things about winter! I hope you’re having a feel good day.

    I can always organize!
    Sadly, I am not a soup person. Don’t know why. Not crazy about hot liquids.
    Memories of your daughter in the snow are precious.
    Happy New Year!

      Happy new year Alex! I must admit you are the first person I have ever known that isn’t a soup person. But if its because the temperature is uncomfortable I understand completely. I do know people who are sensitive to hot and cold. Oh I’m so happy this post sparked a happy memory for you my friend. Hugs!

    This January I do not know what to expect. I love Christmas and the feeling the holidays bring. January is when we celebrate my mother’s birthday. We (I am one of 7) lost my mother this past year. Growing up birthdays were special. So having her birthday in January and in the cold and snow she loved the warmth that her 7 kids and husband brought to the month. Later it would include the in-law kids and the grandchildren. I do not know what to expect but I will be thankful for each day as we were taught by our parents.
    Best to you for the New Year.

    Happy January Katherine! My mom always gave me a chicken bouillon cube when I was sick. So funny, I haven’t thought about that in years! I used to make tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for my daughter and her friends when they would come in from sledding.

    And yes, I also dog ear my catalogs or wish books as I called them when I was little 🙂
