Happy Monday! I’m here with Holly and I hope you’ll link up with us for Hello Monday!

I usually share my weekend on Hello Monday, but it looked like this for 9+ hours Saturday and Sunday.


My friend Jamie’s son was swimming in the meet, too. I was a marshal in that lovely vest on Saturday, but I got to see Jamie on Sunday! Jamie and I first swam together as 8 year olds and continued on through high school. We still talk every day, but I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like so this day was a treat!

It makes me happy to cheer on the boys, but it doesn’t make for a very interesting post. Ha!
Last Tuesday, we had a snow day and I decided to document a snow day in the life. I’m not sure if I’ve done this before, but here goes. On Monday night, our district called a two hour delay with re-evaluation so I set my alarm for 6:10 and signed up for a live Peloton class. I followed up the Jermaine Johnson live class with a recorded Dennis Morton yoga class. It felt great.



By the time I finished, we knew school was canceled for the day because it was really snowing!

Everyone was still asleep so I put the snow day signal on and went back downstairs.

I brought a big pile of sheets and towels upstairs to fold while I watched the Today show. I ALWAYS watch the Today show on snow days!

I am not a coffee drinker. I never have been and I probably never will be. I do love a caffeine boost in the morning so I poured my morning Diet Pepsi with my favorite nugget ice.

Everyone was still sleeping at 7:45 so I mixed up some muffins for breakfast and headed back to the Today show. When the boys were little, we used to eat these muffins a lot. We haven’t had them in a while, but I saw them in the grocery store last week and thought they’d be a nice snow day breakfast treat.

Luke joined me around 8. The smell of muffins must have woken him up.

I decided right then and there that I was going to stay put for the entire Today show which is practically unheard of. My electric blanket was so warm and cozy and it was still snowing pretty hard!


I emptied the dishwasher, cleaned up breakfast, and came right back to to that blanket to work on some blog posts.

I committed to the couch and finished Honestly Elliott! I loved it!

The boys have swim from 4-645 and 630-8 on Tuesdays. It messes with dinner so I decided to make dinner for lunch. I used a CleanFoodCrush recipe and it was delicious!

The kids headed back outside after lunch and it was STILL snowing!

I cleaned up lunch and packed the leftovers up for someone’s lunch that week. Then I got dressed and headed out for a walk. I love to walk in the snow, even if it’s freezing!

Jeff took Jack to swim and Luke and I started working on 7th grade social studies. Luke was still making up work from being out for 3 days last week.

Luke kept working and I pulled out my work computer to figure out what the plan was for Wednesday.

Jeff did the swim team switch and I got some biscuits ready for breakfast this week. My guys love an egg or egg and cheese biscuit for a quick school morning breakfast.

When we were all ready for the next day, I went back to the couch to finish my second book for the day. I loved The Year of Second Chances! It was a good story of love, friendship, taking a chance, and listening to your inner voice.

Jeff picked Luke up from swim and we all got ready for bed. I started a new book that had just come in on my library holds. A Winter in New York was perfect to end our snowy day. We got the call that it was a two hour delay on Wednesday, too. So I set my alarm for 6:05 and headed to bed.

I usually go play in the snow with the kids for a bit, but I just didn’t feel like it this time. We had another snow day on Friday last week and I joined the kids for a few runs down the sledding hill. Jeff does all our shoveling because he’s always looking for a little physical activity when we’re stuck at home. This was a pretty restful snow day for me, but I really enjoyed it. Do you get snow days? Do you have things you ALWAYS do on a snow day? I love a snow day, but I am hoping this is our last one for a little while. We could use a little routine this week. Don’t forget to link up with us below if you blogged today! Have a great day full of sunshine and books!



Your snow day signal just makes me so happy! This will be a core memory for your kids!
I agree with you – as much as I hate it, we need the routine of some 5 day weeks. I am really behind in my second semester curriculum already and this hurts motivation especially for seniors!
I love your snow day signal- way to make things fun! I don’t really enjoy snow days because I hate winter but trying to embrace the coziness 🙂
How fun to see your snow day documented like this! We’ve had a lot of ice days last week, but today we’ll reach 48 degrees so that should put an end to it. lol
I documented a snow day today too! Yours looks so peaceful. We’ve been lucky to know the night before that we don’t have school. I think at this point, we are all ready for a routine again.
That sounds like a wonderful snow day! I think last week is the first snow day Alec has had since starting school in 2020… we don’t really have them at all as homeschoolers since it’s just as easy to do a bit of work and then play the rest of the day.
I am a first grade teacher in KY We don’t get snow days anymore. All our students have chrome books so we have NTI days. We post work in the Google Classroom and have class Google Meets. I miss actual snow days.
That sounds like a really good snow day! I really love the snowflake lights! They’re super cute. I also love the Today Show & whenever I work from home I definitely do my work while watching it. I generally watch most of it but the Hoda & Jenna segment is my favorite. I hope you have a great week!
We don’t get the Hoda & Jenna hour and I’m so bummed about it. The first 3 hours are good though!
That snow day signal is the cutest thing, my daughter would love that! I watch The Today Show just about every morning, I love the first hour the best!
Loved reading about your snow day. We hardly ever have snow in London, and none this winter (so far). Thanks for the link-up!
