The vacation is over and I am back in cold,snow-covered Massachusetts.  Though traveling in a snow storm is not my idea of a good time, I was happy to come home to this beautiful view outside my window.

Home to snow in the Fire Pit!

I actually don’t mind the cold and the snow.  Dressed properly, running outside can be invigorating. Skiing is one of my favorite sports. And any outdoors activity is a prelude to a warm mug of tea or hot chocolate. Also, I have read that your body burns more calories while exercising in the cold, so it is great for those January weight loss resolutions. I myself never make them. Weight loss seems to be more of a year round endeavor for me and I like to focus on resolutions that are more fun to stick to, like reading more books, taking more yoga classes and baking more brownies (not really, though it sounds good!).  And I have also resolved to blog more often in the new year. It is one of the most fun parts of my work as owner of Fancyfirepit.com so why not do more of it??

Happy New Year! Joy
