When I was a little girl I loved waking up to the smell and warmth of the wood burning stove. My dad is an early riser so he always had it going by the time we woke up. I didn't want to stop using my wood stove this season so I started it once all the kids woke up just in case the fire alarm went off, wouldn't want them to wake up to that. I must say I am impressed that a couple hours later and it is still going strong. There's nothing more comforting than the smell of something that reminds you of your childhood and well I want my girls to continue to have that too even if it means now it's me having to start and maintain it!
