This Week's Mindful Morsel 🍪 | December 3, 2025 — make time for fun

Happy good Wednesday 💜

I write to you on our first official snow day ❄️ of the season! Overnight, it snowed 4-5 inches, my daughter has the day off school, and we are here for it!

Last night we did A BUNCH of snow day rituals to help the cause: flushed a few ice cubes down the toilet, danced around, wore our pajamas inside out and backwards, and slept with spoons under our pillows. I have no idea where these come from, and I don’t remember any of this from when I was little, but it was great fun and an absolute delight when we woke up this morning and saw all the snow :) 

What magic ❄️

Do you remember the excitement of snow days from when you were a kid? I hope you had that experience. As a grown up, it’s so easy to forget. Very few of us get snow days, and when we do, we might feel relief, but not the tangible electric excitement of snow days of our youth.

In anticipation of today, I made sure to pick up a couple new sleds yesterday since ours broke last year, and we are making time to go try them today. Thrill or fail, it’s going to be a fun time, especially followed by homemade hot cocoa with fresh whipped cream and marshmallows ☕

Today I urge you to remember that feeling from when you were younger and not so bogged down with the serious of being a grown up. Regardless of how many very important responsibilities you shoulder, you still deserve playdates and adventures. We should never grow out of that. 

Whenever you see this, it’s your sign to invite yourself to get nostalgic. Have some fun and get silly. Feel good about it. And get down with your bad self ✨

With delightfully playful energy,
