Mitten Moments

Happy New Year! I hope your year is off to a great start.

It’s my first Mitten Moments of the year.

If you are new here, Mitten Moments are random moments from my week that I am sharing with you!!

Like so many of you, here in the Mitten, we started the New Year with snow.

If you know me, you know I love the snow!

There’s something so peaceful and beautiful about fresh fallen snow.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” – Lewis Carroll

Last night, I made this amazing creamy chicken taco soup. The recipe came from my friend Stacy at Stacy Lives and it was delicious!

The perfect dish for a snowy winter day.

Do yourself a favor and check out her blog. It’s a yummy one!

This Week On The Blog

It was a fun week sharing How To Make A Vision Board.

My family has been making vision boards for the last few years. Let me tell you, it’s a great family day project!

If you don’t know what a vision board is, make sure to check it out!

I’ve linked my favorite supplies below.

Best Deal Of The Week

Who doesn’t love a great deal?

I’m always on the lookout for one and this week, it’s an amazing deal.

I found this beautiful throw from Arhaus. It was originally $99 and on sale for $14.85 with free shipping!

I have a secret…I bought more than one. It will be prefect for a last minute hostess gift.

I’ve linked it for you here.

Sharing is caring!

Random Trivia

“Forty-five percent of Americans make New Year’s resolutions. The top resolutions are: to lose weight, get organized, to spend less and save more, to stay fit and healthy, and to quit smoking. While nearly half of all Americans make resolutions, 25 percent of them give up on their resolutions by the second week of January.”

Are you in the 25 percent?

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments, I found this week:

These five simple tips to start your morning

This cozy snow day in Maine

How to paint upholstery with chalk paint

This yummy pear bread recipe

This comfy and cozy bedding for boys

I hope you have enjoyed my moments, this weekend.

I hope all the moments of your Saturday bring you more joy than you could imagine!

It’s MRI follow-up day. He’s the reason I make It’s MRI follow-up day. He’s the reason I make blankets for a cause. He’s the reason there’s a Cottage in the Mitten. 

If you are new to my site, you can link in my bio and read all about The Journey. 

I would so appreciate your prayers today for a positive MRI report. 

If you’ve walked a similar road or you are a medical momma, I know you know these days can be difficult. 

If you woke up facing something similar, a difficult day or an unpredictable road, I want to remind you that God sees you and you are very loved! 

Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
