Mid-Winter Blues and Book Giveaway Reminder

Just a reminder that if you want to receive a free copy of my new book, you have one week left to enter the drawing. If you refer someone to the site and they tell me you referred them, you'll be entered twice!

Now, who out there is having the mid-year winter blues? I'm not talking about the emotional condition that is commonly associated with the season we are in. I am talking about the "it's too cold to send the kids outside to play and they're jumping off the walls" kind of attitude.

Now, I live in Georgia. Many of the wonderful nature readers and storybooks we read to the kids refer to my state as the "Sunny Southland".

Yes, it was sunny this morning.

19 degrees.

A few flakes of snow.

My apologies to all you Yankees, I know it's a bit frigid up there. But it's not supposed to be here!!

It's supposed to be cold, but glory be! People from up North move down here to get away from the cold! Not drive into it!!

...Sigh...

The real reason I'm tired of the cold is I want to send the children outside. But as we wimpy homeschoolers down South have no parkas, they cannot go outside. I have no desire to see my children turn blue from the cold. Strange, I know.

Two more months. I can do this!

In the meantime, make sure you get signed up for the giveaway!

God Bless,
Brandie

miss you my friend.

one word--- scarves

and another word(s)--- gloves or socks worn on the hands.

oh and one more word, ICE!

Boys love, love, love, ICE.

A whole sandbox (left uncovered, arrghhh) drenched in rainwater turned to ice will keep them busy for a while!
