Warming Up to Winter… sort of

I’m not gonna lie, winter and I have never been BFFs. Or even frenemies. Winter is more my nemesis: laughing at me as I attempt to get warm using any means possible as I run from house to car and back again bundled up like an insane snowman. Over the weekend my husband was looking around at our recently de-Christmasfied decor and gently suggested we add warm touches to get me out of my annual mid-winter funk. Bless his heart, I couldn’t agree more. Of course, being in the middle of a decluttering spree means I’m extremely choosy about what I bring back in.  However, the items below are all winners in my book– helping to warm my heart and home until spring arrives once again.

Here’s a few special ways to bring warmth to your home during even the chilliest of winters. Hibernators, unite!

• Hot tea and cocoa taste so much better in this.

• These make everything better. Here’s some ways to use them all over the house to bring light to these shorter days.

• Aside from my family and cat, this is probably the most favorite thing in my house.

• Last month I met the artist who designed this for West Elm, and its cheeky design makes me smile every time I look at it!

• Organizing always makes me happy. We’re about to pull the trigger and purchase this system for our home office (it was my husband’s idea, FOR THE WIN.)

• You lose most of your body heat through your head, but this fixes that problem.

• Set it and forget it. Is there anything that screams ‘cozy’ more than this kitchen must-have?

• My husband bought one of these over the weekend and breakfast has never been easier to make. It’s like a whole new world in one-pan breakfast prep.

• When in doubt, plan it out. I’m ready to start using this to dream & plan my beloved getaways and vacations!

• If you figure out a gluten-free version of this, I’ll consider you the Olaf to my Elsa. 😉 Bake it in here and you will have my love forever.

• GAH! Could this be any more perfect for winter? I want to climb inside it.

• We went on a family Target run over the weekend, which we rarely do. I may have tossed this and this into the cart to curl up with at night while I sip tea.

• I’ve been living in these all month long! I’ll admit I was never a fan until I tried them on… but now? I refuse to take them off. DON’T MAKE ME TAKE THEM OFF!
