Monthly Musings {February 2024}

 

Happy last day of February! I'm linking up with Patty and Holly for Monthly Musings! This month's topic is...

How To Survive the Winter Months!

1. What do you do in the winter that brings you joy? 

Lots of cozy time spent in the house! I like to curl up with a blanket and read or watch a movie.

2. How do you stay warm and cozy? 

A heated blanket is a must! A hot cup of coffee or tea while under the heated blanket, warm socks, cozy pjs......I love love love to be cozy all year long, but the winter is especially cozy! 

3. What are you looking forward to this winter? 

We're already having some warm days here and there, but if it's going to get cold again, I'd really love for it to snow!! 

4. Favorite wintertime activities? 

Anything cozy and inside 😂. 

5. Favorite months of winter? 

December and February!! I love Christmas and Valentine's Day! 

6. Favorite dishes to make in winter? 

Soup!! I made several different chicken tortilla soups in the slow cooker this year, and they were all so yummy!! My top two favorites were this buffalo ranch version and Jessie James Decker's version in her Just Eat cookbook. 

7. Gas or wood burning fireplace? 

Sadly, we don't have a fireplace. If we were to have one, I think I'd rather have gas logs! 

8. Favorite winter hot beverage? 

Any seasonal coffee at Starbucks- especially a gingerbread latte! I will also gladly take coffee at home or hot chocolate.

9. Favorite winter movies? 

Anything that involving New York City, London, or a winter wedding.

10. How do you stay healthy in winter? 

Drinks lots and lots of water and eat well for the most part. 

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!!

    I also try to drink more water in the winter. It's easier to get dehydrated if you're not hot! I like staying under a blanket with a good book or TV show, too.

Friday Favorites {9.1.23}

  Happy Friday!! Happy SEPTEMBER!! And happy Labor Day weekend! Lots of HAPPY on this Friday morning!  As always, I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some faves from the week!  Well, I couldn't hold out any longer... Yesterday I put out the fall decor! (I'll have a full fall "home tour" up soon!) Isn't this just so cozy?? It may be 90 degrees outside, but inside my home you'd never know!  All the PUMPKIN coffees.  My favorite Starbucks order is a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Once it gets a lot cooler, I'll switch to a hot PSL.  My morning coffee though...  I added a little pumpkin spice to the top! This mug is just so happy! (I can't find my exact one, but it was $5 at Target! (This one is similar, and I might even like it a little better!) If you caught my What's Up Wednesday post earlier this week, then you probably know that this.... is my favorite night gown!! I've washed it several times, though I don't recommend putti

Friday Favorites {12.8.23}

  Happy Friday, friends!! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some favorites from my week!  If you missed yesterday's post, it was my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! One year ago, I set out to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have loved this year of blogging! If you come here each week to read my blog, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your support more than you know!  I have loved the truffles from Aldi, so when I saw these chocolates I knew I had to try them. They are AMAZING. I've been eating a bit of some each night after dinner! If you see them, grab them!  I think I feel more like an adult when I have fresh flowers in the kitchen 😂. These red carnations are so cheerful!  A couple months ago, Caleb decided we needed an espresso machine...so on Black Friday he found one on a pretty good deal and went for it. We're considering it our Christmas to each other 😉. Friends, I mean it when I say if I never go back to Starbucks again, I would
