We were snowed in today.
\nSchools were canceled, the roads were empty.
\nIt was wonderful.
\nI like getting buried in snow at least once every year
\n(and then it can all go away!).<\/p>\n

We made cookies and watched "Rocky and Bullwinkle"
\nand mostly lazed around.
\nI’m hoping to do more of it tomorrow
\nalong with a few "gottas"
\n(gotta do laundry, gotta clean the dining room,
\ngotta get a package together, gotta finish making 8 million holiday cards…).
\nBut I’m still gonna eat cookies and lounge around.
\nIt’s the season!<\/p>\n

I recommend you lounge around too
\nbut if you want to play online
\nhere’s some fun links of this, that and the other…<\/p>\n

1. One Golden Apple’s fairy ornaments<\/a> are unbelievably cute.
\nI love using feathers for wings. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>2. My messy house is protecting my kids from heart disease.
\n<\/strong><\/span>Sweet!<\/strong><\/span>
\n"Our research suggests that ultra-clean, ultra-hygienic environments early in life may contribute to higher levels of inflammation as an adult, which in turn increases risks for a wide range of diseases," including cardiovascular disease<\/span>, Thomas McDade, lead author of the study, said.

3. Several friends have recommended this<\/a> free software lately.
\nKids can make stick figures and animate them to tell fun stories.<\/p>\n

4. I love browsing <\/span>this blog<\/span><\/a>!
\nEvery tasty project looks good enough to frame.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/span>Here’s<\/span><\/a> the recipes and articles Daryl has put up so far
\non Cooking With Kids.
\nThe banana bread is now a staple around here for snacks
\nand it’s much lower fat than most.
\nDaryl lets the kids mash the bananas with their (clean) hands.
\nEw!
\nThey love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Lastly, I wrote up some
\nparenting secrets for peaceful holidays
\n<\/span>here<\/span><\/a><\/span>
