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.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
