Winter adventures, simple joy, and things to look forward to this week in the Valley.
Happy Monday, Valley Moms!
🤫 Fun Fact: Did you know the Wenatchee Valley sits in a “rain shadow”? Thanks to the Cascade Mountains, we get more winter sunshine than many other parts of Washington (even if it doesn’t feel like it this year). ☀️
January can feel like a long exhale after the holidays—less sparkle, more real life. But winter in the Valley doesn’t have to mean hibernation. There’s beauty in bundling up, trying something new, and finding small rhythms that carry us through the slower season.
This week’s picks are all about getting outside when you can, staying connected, and remembering that winter doesn’t have to be something we just “get through.” 🤍

Bundle up and head outside (even just around the block!) with a simple list: something crunchy, something sparkly, something cold, something loud, something still. Great for walks, playground trips, or backyard exploring.
Our Mom of the Month for January is…Marie K.!

January Bible Verse of the Month
