Is it gray, cold, and/or slightly snowy in your town too? Let's not allow the winter blues to conquer our Saturday! Here's a few links to help inspire a creative day of diying, decorating, and culinary adventures:
Three words: snow ice cream!!! Add a puzzle, an afternoon of sledding, homemade snickerdoodles and you have the recipe for a perfect snow day! No excuses.
Make some winter white diy candle votives. I love the simplicity of these votives.
Spruce up your kitchen with some lovely stenciled kitchen towels.
Create your own wrapping paper for an upcoming birthday or shower. Because believe it or not, spring is coming!
Perhaps today is the day you finally try your hand at making homemade marshmallows!
What can't you do with Sharpies?
Give an old frame an "aged" look - this is on my to-do list!
Skip the hot chocolate and go straight for the chai!
Be inspired by these 20 DIY home decor ideas and then get to work on re-purposing, painting, decorating, tidying, organizing...
Brighten up your snow day with Joy the Baker's classic lemon bars.
If all else fails, curling up in a cozy blanket with a cup of warmth and watching the snowfall (or reading a book) is a perfectly acceptable way to spend a January Saturday. Happy Saturday, friends!

a list of loves and links
Because my life this week is consumed with shoeboxes through this incredible ministry, I've gathered a bunch of my favorite links lately and few other random things that have caught my eye. Happy browsing!
I know summer is behind us, but this one-pan farro with tomatoes recipe from Smitten Kitchen is simply delicious. After thirty minutes in the pot, the ingredients transform into an almost risotto-like goodness that is perfect for cold winter evenings. This is one my newest go-to recipes for easy, quick, and comforting dinners. (P.S. cut the red pepper flakes if you don't do heat.) Speaking of Smitten Kitchen, these cranberry orange breakfast rolls are on my list of sweet things to make and SOON!
Current favorite diy blog: East Coast Creative. What these ladies can do with tiny budgets is magical! Watch their show and prepare to be amazed. My personal favorites thus far from the show: the rolling barn door, the pallet wood accent wall, and this little kitchen re-do. Truly gifted designers.
Meet Grandma Helen. Yes, that is her name. Quite possibly one of the silliest cows I've ever seen. Check out that curly mop up on top and those giant ears. She wants to know if you have a carrot in your pocket...
Marriage is work, beauty, sacrifice, and love all rolled together in a messy, precious package! This article reminds me of how thankful I am for my hubster.
Sugared cranberries?!? I feel like I've missed something so important for much much too long. It's time to change that.
Gearing up for Christmas goodness! Get ready - I've got some Christmasy posts in the works. Here's a little sneak peek:
Just got PW's newest cookbook from the library! Can't wait to read through all the recipes and check out Charlie's costumes :)
Excited for more Joy the Baker's Bonkers Awesome videos - pretty sure I'd make the same faces if I was covering a wedding cake with fondant!
And while we're on the subject of baking, leave it to the good people at King Arthur Flour to have some great baking tips. A reusable shower cap to cover rising dough - genius!
I leave you with this beautiful sight of what almost landed on our car last weekend...

Pretty cool, huh?
