Happy Saturday, friends! Is there anything cozier than a snow day (or several)?? I figured today is as good a time as any to bring back this bonus weekend post that I started (and stopped) last year. I woke up to beautiful snow falling yesterday morning! I think we got about ten inches total, but some of it started to melt yesterday when the sun came out for a bit.
I took these pictures and then promptly made my way back into my cozy and warm home. I did some things that I loved yesterday, thanks to being stuck at home all day. I'm not complaining! Here are ten things I did while I enjoyed the snow day.
1. I slept late! I knew that there would be snow when I woke up, so I was in no hurry to get out of bed.
2. I enjoyed watching The Today Show while I drank my coffee; it was Hoda Kotb's last day, so it was a great day to watch. The day was called Hoda-bration.
3. After I finished my coffee, I went upstairs to "get dressed" for my day; this consisted of me putting on clean pajamas and washing/moisturizing my face.
4. I lit some candles to make it feel cozy.
5. I read a lot and finished a couple of books!
6. I lingered in my quality time with Jesus. I am reading in Job with The Bible Recap community, and I read chapters 24-28; I took the time to write down the verses that jumped out to me in the day's reading, pertaining to God's character. Yesterday what stuck out to me was from Job 28:11-12.
He dams up the streams from flowing so that He may bring to light what is hidden. But where can wisdom be found, and where is understanding located?
God brings to light things that are hidden, and in Him wisdom and understanding are found. These things are so encouraging to me!
7. I tidied up a bit and hung some things on a wall that was bare after moving a piece of furniture. (See picture below.)
8. I made myself a really delicious lunch: scrambled eggs with cottage cheese. I'm trying to eat more protein since I haven't been eating enough lately.
9. I spent some time highlighting my favorite passages in my new Bible; I also wrote down passages of Scripture in my journal. I love to write out Scripture; to write it commits it to my heart.
10. I spent some time caring for and loving on the two plants I have in my living room.
The peace Lilly is from my friend Dedee. She gave that to me when Dad died, and it's my goal to not kill the thing. The "snake tongue" plant is one that (ahem) someone gave me a couple of years ago, and it's my favorite plant. I think it's really neat looking, and I love that it's hardy. I drenched both of these babies in water, and I dusted their leaves and moved them around a bit.
What do you like to do to stay cozy on a snow day? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading this bonus blog post today, friends. Love to all!

I read your cozy day post on IG and it just sounded like the perfect day. We haven't had snow here, but just wet and cold. I'm already over it! I want my 70's back :) So...do you find irony in the name of that plant, considering who it came from? Just had to ask :) Here's to another cozy day for you!
