Winter adventures, simple joy, and things to look forward to this week in the Valley.
Happy Monday, Valley Moms!
🤫 Fun Fact: Did you know January is (typically) one of the snowiest months in the Wenatchee Valley — but also one of the sunniest? Thanks to our unique valley climate, winter days here often bring blue skies right along with the cold. Keep praying for snow!
After weeks of celebration and motion, the Valley feels hushed again — a pause before spring stirs. It’s a good time to notice what’s steady: the rhythm of school mornings, the comfort of familiar faces, the quiet beauty of frost on the window. This week, we’re leaning into that calm with ideas that bring warmth and connection back into the routine — a little creativity, a little community, and a reminder that even the slow seasons have their own kind of joy. 🤍

❄️ Snowflake Science Experiment
Make a snowflake design with liquid glue, and cover it with salt. After it’s dry, add food coloring to water and dab color onto the snowflake design. The color spreads through the salt, producing bright, frosty patterns—perfect for snowflake art.
Our Mom of the Month for January is…Marie K.!
Here’s what one of her dear friends had to say about her:
“She is always thinking of others and serving those around her. She is always willing to volunteer with cheer! She is a great mom who brings the fun!”
Congrats, Marie! Enjoy your goodies from The Mother’s Garden LLC, Beau & Co., The Skin Ritual, and Coffee Caboose!

Blog: Simplifying Motherhood in the New Year
If the idea of “new year, new you” feels exhausting, this one’s for you. This thoughtful piece is a reminder that simplifying doesn’t mean doing less — it means choosing what actually matters in this season of motherhood.
January Bible Verse of the Month
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3
God doesn’t wait for us to improve before He walks with us into something new. He meets us right where we are—and leads us gently forward.
