Blogmas 2014 - Day 9 Winter Items You Can't Live Without

Oh my goodness... I'm trying to think of the winter items I can't live with out... I don't have pictures of it all, that's for sure, but a few things are coming to mind.

Probably a good, comfy, and warm scarf. My favorite really is a simple green striped one that I bought years ago at American Eagle.

My favorite coffee mug filled with coffee, tea (my favorite is just plain old Earl Grey), or spiced cider.

A nice big sweater! I'm a huge fan of sweaters. Lately I've been doing a lot of tank tops or tees with open front sweaters or cardigans over them. The older I get, the more about comfort I am. And, if it looks cute, then that's a bonus.

I love cute boots. I have my brown and black combat looking boots from last winter, but I'm actually kind of over them and want something a little more feminine. I need to get out there and shop for some, but I'm lazy and actually quite chicken to take my kids shopping for boots for me.

A nice, hot, fire in the fireplace. I sure hope I always have a fireplace.

Good movies! I love nothing more than on a cold day, to sit inside and watch my favorites while I have a stew or chili cooking, or something in the crockpot. I have a few that I always go to. Love Actually, The Holiday, The Last Holiday, either of the Bridget Jones movies are a few of my favorites.

A nice snug blanket. I have these plush blankets that I bought at Costco. We all fought over the one on a regular basis so I bought two more recently. They were cheap and are so comfortable. Also, they hold up so much better after several washes than fleece.

Most importantly, my husband and kids. Those 5 make me feel warm and loved. I love nothing more than to get locked up with them, with nothing else to do but snuggle up, relax, watch movies, and just hang out.

Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am::: Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving! What to fix. I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it. On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too. I love the story behind the video. The people in it are NOT actors. The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance. Amazing. And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014. If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about. When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees. I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold. It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees. When I was younger it was the parking lot. There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to. We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences. My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought. We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree. As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot. We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly.... I'm not. I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them. I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children. Maybe next year. Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year. I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time. It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
