Michigan Winter Wonderland

“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are.”
~Maya Angelou

Last week was a whirlwind of emotions when it came to the concept of "home." On one hand, I found myself revisiting the cozy, familiar streets of Michigan, where memories linger like frost on a windowpane. On the other hand, I was reminded of the vibrant life we’ve built here in Florida—a home that feels equally warm and inviting. These two places, though vastly different, hold a special kind of comfort that only family and roots can bring.

Truthfully, I hadn’t realized just how settled I’d become in Florida until I returned to Michigan. The snow was breathtaking, sparkling under the sun like a winter wonderland. Yet, even amidst its beauty, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the warmth of Florida’s climate and the slower pace of life there. It was bittersweet—exciting to be back in the land of snow days, yet longing for the familiarity of home.

My visit was largely work-related, which left little room for leisure. Long hours in meetings and late nights drafting emails meant I didn’t get to spend as much time with loved ones as I would have liked. Still, there were moments of pure joy—like bundling up in mittens and scarves to play in the snow with my daughter. We giggled and twirled through the powdery drifts, creating snow angels and building tiny forts. Those fleeting moments reminded me why I cherish these visits so deeply.

After a long day of skiing or sledding, we’d return indoors to warm baths filled with lavender-scented bubbles. There’s something magical about the contrast between icy temperatures outside and the soothing embrace of a hot bath inside. It’s the perfect balance of exhilaration and relaxation.

Despite the packed schedule, I managed to squeeze in some quality family time. My daughter spent a couple of nights with her best friend, laughing and chatting late into the night. Then came the sleepovers at our place—a cousin stayed over, and we had pancake breakfasts and silly games like tic-tac-toe on the living room floor. It’s funny how these simple activities can create such lasting memories.

Long drives through Michigan’s icy roads gave me ample time to reflect. I realized how much I value these moments—both the chaos and the calm. There’s a certain peace in being still, even if it’s only for a brief moment. During one particularly stressful tow-truck incident, I sat quietly, watching the snow fall gently onto the windshield. It was a reminder to breathe and appreciate the journey, not just the destination.

Back home now, life feels steady again. We’ve been enjoying lazy mornings at the park, swinging under the golden sunlight. The kids beam with delight as they slide down the icy slopes, their laughter echoing through the crisp air. Our first evening back even called for a spontaneous picnic at the beach. Watching my son declare, “Brayden home,” melted my heart. He’s right—it’s the little things that make a house a home.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, we shared our meal with seagulls. Their antics brought endless laughter, drowning out the distant waves. By the end of the evening, my daughter declared, “This is the bestest day ever!” And honestly, I couldn’t agree more.
