Life Lately...

With all this snow in the Seattle area lately, it is hard not to take full advantage of everything it entails:

-The hubs and I making a mini-snowman on our patio.

-Hot cocoa and spending time in pjs.

-Bundling up in everything cute and comfy.

-Acting like a 5 year old in the snow.

-Cat sharing sneaking said cocoa.

-AND of course, snowball making!

Hope all you lovelies are having a great week! Tomorrow is FRIDAY :)

Any substantial amount of snow in the Seattle area is a big deal. As soon as the snow starts sticking people start throwing around the terms snowmageddon and snowpocalypse, it's pretty amusing and silly.

Whenever I see the first few flakes fall, I am instantly drawn towards flannel. Love it. So comfy, wintery, and woodsy. My sister said I looked like a lumberjack's dream in this outfit. Best.compliment.ever.

So back to the snow, it is really pretty and I am loving it.  I especially appreciate how peaceful and quiet it is, with only a few birds chirping in the distance. Tim and I went for an amazingly beautiful walk today down to the river trail and froze our noses off, but it was totally worth it. 

Back to work tomorrow after a killer three-day weekend. Hope everyone had a great weekend and Monday :)

Snow, Flannel and Christmas Decor

It snowed last week! It was beautiful and much awaited considering we spent our last 2.5+ years in San Antonio; the land of nothing but sun and running your A/C while eating your turkey dinner. I watched the snow fall for hours and felt much like a child again. Of course that feeling only lasted a bit as I was soon thrown back into my adult responsibilities, realizing I wouldn't be able to drive to work. Snow Day!

I have been embracing every moment of the cold weather. Hats, scarves, wool coats, boots and flannel. Yes, flannel...love it.

The Holidays are by far my favorite time of year. My husband and I were quick to put up our Christmas decor and tree this past Thanksgiving weekend. The sounds of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole Christmas tunes are starting to fill our little apartment on a daily basis.

Hope all of you are getting in the Holiday Spirit. Don't be a scrooge. :)
