HGTV’s Jenny Marrs Shares the ‘Sweet, Unexpected Gift’ Her Family Enjoyed

Jenny Marrs might have had to pivot life a bit amid a stretch of snowy weather in February, but the HGTV star also found a silver lining. While the Marrs family had plenty of work to do to protect their farm animals from the cold, they also made a lot of memories.

Jenny Marrs Reflects on How Her Family Was Impacted by a Winter Storm

On February 23, Marrs took to Instagram to share a collection of photos and videos from their recent snowy weather.

In the caption, she explained how, even with the cold and snow, they managed to find the fun in it.

“Whenever snow starts to fall from the sky, I am the first one to run to the window to witness the miracle. There is something sacred and holy about standing beneath the majestic night sky, head turned up to the heavens, gaze fixed on the snowflakes as they fall silently to the ground,” she wrote in the caption.

“The air is crisp and it feels like things are being made new. Serving as a reminder from the Keeper of the storehouse of snow that He can cover all of our dirty, grimy, messiness with pure, white snow,” Marrs continued.

She noted, “Here in our little corner of the globe, snow is special and rare — we don’t see it often, and when we do, it brings our world to a halt.”

The HGTV star pointed out how schools and offices were closed and stores get low on provisions. “We hunker down,” Marrs explained.

“We find snow pants with lengths that remind us how fast our littles grow. We dig around for gloves and hats and boots,” the “Fixer to Fabulous” star shared. “We pull the sleds down from storage. We grab the camera. We make hot chocolate and chili and invite friends over for sledding and dinner by the fire.”

She added, “And, most importantly, we slow down. We make memories. We laugh. We pop popcorn and watch movies. We bring out extra blankets and pillows. It all feels indulgent and like a sweet, unexpected gift.”

Jenny Marrs Says She’s ‘Grateful for the Memories’

While the weather might have disrupted things, getting the time to slow down isn’t lost on Marrs.

“Today, as the sunshine melts the snow outside my window, and the slush and mud will undoubtedly streak my floors, I am grateful for the memories made this week,” she wrote.

Marrs continued, “I’m thankful for the way our busy lives were paused, even if for the briefest of moments, to fill all of our memory banks to the brim with snow-soaked delight (my word for the year — delight — resonated so deeply this week). 🤍”

She also assured her fans that a photo of Luke looking upset as the “littlest brother in a snowball fight” was no cause for concern. “He was laughing again five minutes later,” Marrs shared.
