Traditions knit hearts together and draw family members into the heart of home life. They can be big deal things of course, but I find that the small stuff warms the soul of our family most.
It's illegal to get out of your PJs on a rainy day in our house, so yesterday + today = PJs and puzzles and pancakes and pull-out-sofa-bed-movie-night snuggling...traditions.
Our new puzzle scheme using bulletin boards helps us to easily move our 1000 pieces out of the way for meals or take our project upstairs at night. Hometown Collection puzzles have our attention for the moment and it's been fun building up our inventory. I'll remember these days with fondness.
Rainy day PJs, puzzles, and chai tea, french onion soup, steamed milk, cinnamon rolls, and a Little House on the Prairie marathon. It doesn't get much cozier or slower than this.
"In the season of the spring rain...from the Lord who makes the storm clouds...he will give them showers of rain."
Zechariah 10:1
