Winter is such a great time to start storybooking. Every day brings new photos, new memories, and best of all, stories we all want to be able to share. With a foot of snow outside and two little boys who LOVE to play in it, this is certainly the case at our house.

So, this has got me thinking about my childhood and how much I loved playing in the snow. I grew up in Southern California, so we couldn't just walk outside the house and find snow - ever. But we often went to the local mountains to play and sled on a weekend day, and I loved it! I can remember making snow balls and snow people; I can remember playing until I could not longer feel my fingers and nose; I can even remember the delightful pain of the thaw when I finally went inside...sheer joy!

Documenting my memories of childhood snow-play and being able to compare it with the great fun my children are experiencing through their young winters is something I can't put a price on. But, being able to write that story and have it published in a beautiful hardbound book that will be enjoyed for generations is absolutely priceless.
