There's not business like snow business.

Three inches of snow fell on us this past weekend. My mom (who has been staying at our house to help with Maya and making my life so much better!) squealed and ran down the stairs as soon as it started falling. In Woodinville we got snow every year. I was hoping the city wouldn't dampen the winter spirit and leave me without my snow. It would be quite an adjustment for me to be without that quiet calm that snow brings to a neighborhood. And, of course, the snow ball fights!

Maya was having the best time riding around in her cart with Grandma. They rode all the way down to visit John (two blocks away) and up and down the sidewalk in front of the house several times. Maya didn't want to come inside, but I insisted after her lips and hands turned an eggplant shade of purple!

To keep us warm and well fed, I made one of my favorite comfort foods: Moroccan Tagine with Chicken and couscous.

Moroccan spiced chicken with raisins, honey, and almonds. Very warm and tasty!
