Brrrr...It's cold outside

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Well folks like it or not it's that time again for snow, snow and more snow. Now many usually take this time to start their hibernation with hot cocoa and a good book. But what happens when you're kids are home for break and they've played with every toy in the house? Well no need to go out and buy more gifts before Christmas because we're here to help!

Here are a few wintertime ideas provided by Parents.com

Make colored ice cubes and hide them around the yard, for a scavenger hunt.

• When it's cold out (below 32 degrees) blow bubbles and watch them freeze.
• In a spray bottle add food coloring to water and let your kids paint the snow.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

When It Rains . . . It Pours

We are very thankful that we did not get hit as bad as most residents in Colorado. However I thought I would share a few photos from our experience through the 100 year flood!

Again we are supremely thankful this was the worst of it for us. However, there were those who were hit hard by the storm. So please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

A CHOO...

Tis the season of the allergies!

And let me just say it has not been a kind one. Lately I sneeze more than I talk and my eyes are constantly watering. So if any of you are like me, you are definitely on the prowl for any relief.

Here at Unique, we like to keep things natural, so when I came across Amy's post, A Blossoming Life, I knew I had to share it. Amy's recipe is super simple with just two ingredients, that stop allergies in their tracks. Check out A Blossoming Life for the recipe to no sneezes and clear eyes!

And if you have any other natural cures let me know! My nose will thank you!
