surviving cabin fever

two snow days off school in a row calls for drastic measures to insure the sanity of a little man and a mama. 
around here it's spending the day in my bed.
max and i have match-gamed and sponge bob-ed and book-read and video gamed (lego harry potter whaaa!!) there most of the afternoon.
there is something magical and replenishing about a mama's bed.
and here's a sweet story.
i ran across and fell in love with a illustration i found on several blogs. it was a phone wallpaper made for the to resolve project. i emailed the designer, rich, to see if it was available in a print for max's room.
he wrote me back that he hadn't planned on making prints but would gladly send me a high res file of the illustration to print myself. he even added crop marks and all.
i love love love the concept behind this design. 
and now i love love love rich arnold for his graciousness.
what a swell guy!

happy groundhog day, friends!
punxsutawney phil made my cabin-fevered day with his early spring prediction.

  4. That print rocks my socks off! Isn't it great to see that generosity isn't high-tailing it out of town, after all?

    Your day looks ever more serene than mine. I need to bust loose tomorrow. Come Hell or High Snows.

  6. Just found your blog yesterday. The snow in Ohio comment caught my eye and then when I went back to some of your back posts I recognized Dayton. I am just up the road in Piqua. You have a lovely blog. Enjoy these days. It can be wonderful when you are snowed in with someone you love.
