I will continue to share more of my snow photos in future posts. I hope you enjoy them.  :)

This video is very touching, you may need a tissue. However, it is a true and beautiful story that I just had to share! Although this may bring tears to your eyes, the ending is a very happy one!


Now that the weather is cold, (at least in many parts of the world), we are in the cold and flu season.

I hope this will help you in the event of a cold.
