Snow days and pjs and all the peanut butter pancakes. That’s what our week was made of. We welcome the first day of spring here in Connecticut with another Nor’easter. Which, having lived here most of my life, is pretty par for the course. The snow came and went quickly; the sun melting much of it in a matter of a day. And it makes me hopeful that spring may actually be right around the corner.

This weekend will be a departure from the lazy ones we’ve been having. Tomorrow we head to NYC for the day to show Maddie all the animals at the zoo with her Auntie P, followed by a yummy {and possibly boozy} brunch. We don’t have a reservation set in stone, so I’m taking any and all recommendations. Maddie’s been asking to go to “the Big Apple” for some time now, so I’m looking forward to seeing her face as we board that train.

Here a few glimpses of our cozy week at home.

Happy Friday!
