Snowpocalypse 2014

Winter weather has finally hit the Portland area! On Thursday morning snow began to fall, and by the afternoon it started sticking, and so began Snowpocalypse 2014!

It has been a long time since I have seen it snow like this so I was super excited about it! The snow kept falling through Friday night/Saturday morning and then it turned to freezing rain, yikes! Now our beautiful winter wonderland has taken a turn for the worst. Slowly but surely everything is beginning to thaw out, but until then we are officially stuck in our apartment (which I am in no way complaining about). 

Here are some pics from when we ventured outside! 

As you can see, there are some pretty tall drifts of snow due to the crazy winds we had! The wind made it difficult for us to tell how much snow actually fell, but I think it's safe to say we had 6-8 inches. 

Tifa loved the snow before the freezing rain hit. She had a blast "fetching" snow balls! I love how adventurous and fearless she is! She is small, but mighty! There is a video of her playing in the snow on my Instagram if you are interested! I have decided corgi's in the snow are extra adorable, check it out and see for yourself. 

Like I mentioned earlier, we had freezing rain most of last night so everything is just a layer of ice. Hopefully the roads become safe soon so we can go to the grocery store! ;) 

Stop by later this week for a classic recipe to add to your recipe box! 

Good Ideas - 10 DIY Winter Projects

Things around here have been pretty average which is awesome. I feel like we have been going and going since we moved back to Oregon and things are finally starting to slow down. I was in need of a few mundane days to be honest. 

If you read the blog regularly or "Like" me on Facebook you will know that I have been working hard to get organized as one of my 2014 resolutions. I am happy to report it is going really well! I am keeping up with my planner (which is making my life so much easier by the way) and this past week I had all our meals planned out and actually followed through on my schedule! More on that later! The kitchen has stayed super clean, with little to no dirty dishes hanging out around the house. I must admit this is a success because Tom is really helpful in the dishes department! I wish I could boast about conquering the laundry pile, but that would be fibbing. Maybe next week? 

This past weekend I took down all of our Christmas decorations (boo), so now our apartment is looking a little sad and dull. In hopes of making our home feel a little "festive" still I found a few great ideas on Pinterest that I wanted to share with you all! I even threw in a couple of tutorials for you to wear and show off while on the go!
