It's true!
Walk into this house and ask our kids are wishing for.... and they'll say a snow day!
We haven't had a one yet this year and the new sleds and gear look forlorn waiting for a glimpse of some flakes!
Designer Kristen Swain has the perfect way to put a sparkle in your eye and bring a bit of winter inside. Little Yellow Bicycle's Winter Twig collection makes for the perfect collection! And notice how Kristen used an empty ribbon spool for the base! What a great way to recycle and reuse!!
