It's That Time of Year


I wouldn't be a true blogger if I didn't post my Starbucks and Boots in the Snow pictures.... I admit this time of year does have that going for it. 
 
 
 
 I love a nice Holiday Starbucks blend and the Chestnut Praline Latte is pretty amazing.  My next favorite is the Eggnog Latte...yummm.
 
 
 
 
 
I also love to wear my boots and my scarfs.  I personally would prefer to wear these in 50-60 degree weather instead of 25 degrees and below....just sayin'
 
I do like snow.  I don't like to be out in it, like At All, but I love to admire it from the inside of my house through a window while covered in a warm blanket or throw.  Snow on Christmas is a bonus :)
 
I love the ice covered tree branches and I do agree they sparkle like diamonds.
 
I love hot drinks (coffee, hot chocolate), soups, and warm cookies.
 
See, I am not a complete and total Scrooge.  Basically I am just not created for the cold.  Once I am cold, I stay cold and that is just miserable.  I see the beauty of all the seasons, you just won't see me on a snow mobile, or building a snow man, or in a snow ball fight, or building a snow fort.  I will be the one inside at the window, taking some beautiful pictures and making your hot chocolate to enjoy when your play day is done, I may have already eaten all the marshmello fluff that you like it topped with though....sorry :(
 
Happy Wintering!!

    I love all things cold too-especially my warm house! ;). Yes, yes, yes! I find myself at Starbucks so much more when it's cold outside. Mmmmm...the Christmas blend rocks my world. By the way, send snow my way. I live in Houston and it's a rare day if we even see a flurry. :)

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
