I know it’s really warm and cozy by the fire and oh so cold outside. I know it takes a long time to find everyone’s mittens and hats and pull all the extra layers on. I know you would rather curl up under a blanket and read.
Go outside anyway.
It’s worth the extra effort.
It really is.

I absolutely agree. Oh so cold, but oh so good.
your pictures make the effort so worth it.
what beautiful photos!
thank you for the reminder…beautiful shots.
beautiful photos, especially the nest. i had a similar conversation with myself this week, especially as our weather moved from wet and quite cold to warm and sunny.

So, so true! I need to print this out and hang it on my mirror… you photos are so inspiring. Aside from the winter beauty, there is also the benefit of healthier, happier children!
What gorgeous photos Erin! I DO need to get outside…..we’ve been so wrapped up in our house project!
love,

I’m gazing at your beautiful photos in my fleece pajamas. And I’m thinking the photos are so good that I may be able to live vicariously through them for the entire winter and not set foot outside until it’s at least 50 degrees! Just kidding . . . sort of! Thanks for a pretty start to my day!
I was JUST telling myself the same thing today! :)
Beautiful photos and words. So true, so true.
Oh I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I am tempted to just ask one of the older boys to take the little one out but I know that even I need the fresh cold air and sunshine as well.
Warm wishes.
Beautiful photos and a very good reminder!
I just hopped over from SimpleKids. Love these photographs, absolutely beautiful. I agree with wrapping up warm and going outside!

I saw your signature on MDC, and I had to check out this blog post. I’m going to write the title on a stick note for my to-do list. Lately, my going outside has consisted of running through the snow between my workshop and the house. :P Gorgeous pictures.
Beautiful photos and gentle reminder! Happy holidays!
