Making Lemonade in the Middle of Winter

In order to combat what is sure to be a round of severe weather-induced depression, I decided to look on the bright side of this endless winter.

#1:  I’m forced inside to do home projects. 

#2.  No yardwork to do, except shoveling as needed.  Our yard takes hours each weekend to maintain once that grass starts growing. 

#3.  White {lawns} are the new green.

#4.  Flowers?  Who needs ’em!  I have dirty snow to brighten my day!

#5.  Lots {and lots} of lip balm.  Love trying all these new flavors on my chapped, winter lips.

#6.  I’m getting every penny out of my new jacket.  After this season, though, I may need to burn it.

#7.  I’m getting acclimated in case we ever want to move to Alaska.  I’m practically a native now!

#8.  Cocoa.  Every day.  All day. 

#9.  A good excuse to buy boots.  Though, next time I should probably avoid the 3″ heel.

#10.  Eskimos have ____ words for snow.  I just have one.  And I can’t type it here.

{Stork Report} Giveaway #2: Lee Marie Onesie

This contest is now closed.  Thanks!

I love funky children’s clothing.  Yes, the chain stores have cute things for kids but the same patterns and colors get old year after year.  Lee Marie fixes that problem– her clothing line is super adorable yet different enough to really stand out (in a good way) among the sea of sameness.

When you visit her shop, you’ll find many things that are perfect for boys, girls, or are gender neutral.  They are high-quality and make perfect baby shower gifts.  Just check out what I’m talking about:

 
  
  
  
  
So cute!  I love the bold patterns which will pair nicely with neutral clothing.  I’d love to see Noodle in that flower onesie with her pink pants.  Or a red onesie under those adorable cowboy overalls.  Seriously, I’ll just take one of each, please.  😉


BUY IT:  You can purchase any of these styles at Lee Marie.  

WIN IT:  You can win a Lee Marie onesie of your choice!
