What's a little snow anyway?


Some days keeping a positive outlook on life takes a little more mindful intention than others.

This is why I love my blog, and what Unmitigated Bliss means - I use this space to focus on the positive in my life, to appreciate and value what I have, and to move forward to what I want and need for myself and my family.

It is snowing outside today, and I have to drive 40 minutes in it. To the dentist. for my baby. who has EIGHT cavities. EIGHT. Can you believe it?

Me neither. I feel terrible guilt over that. all those suckers and raisins did it.

And I sometimes hate snow. Except- I don't use the word hate, and snow isn't really that bad. It can be fun, I suppose.

For a minute there I thought I was going to let this morning, a Monday morning of all things, get me down. But you know what? nuh uh. Life is way too precious and fleeting for that.

Happy December everyone.

I dont like snow either. Well, I dont like driving in it. Infact if it gets on the roads too much, I WONT drive in it. But I do like when its in our yard, because Sade LOVES playing in it. Thats fun!
If it would just snow in the yard and not in the streets, that would be perfect!

Poor little guy. My middle one is very prone to cavities. I don't know why, and I always feel really bad about it. He really handles it like a trouper, though.

I LOVE snow. I especially like the challenge of driving in it. I don't like all the people who don't know how to drive in it, they make me nervous.
