Monday Top Ten + 2

I like to keep the energy up in January so we don't get too bogged down in winter doldrums. The boys are better than I am about slowing down and enjoying the indoors. I get antsy to get out, so sometimes we get out of sync with each other. This list is a reminder that there is a way to savor the coziness of indoors as well as shake out the cobwebs from time to time. Since we all need extra motivation in the winter, I added two extras.


Top Ten+2 things to do on a January Monday in New England

1.Sleep late
2.Make a really good cup of coffee.
3.Get out all of those thick socks, boots and other assorted winter wear and USE IT!!
4.Go letterboxing
