To be really honest, I don't love the winter. I would much prefer summer and all things warm :)
But as I will likely live in Minnesota my whole life, I have learned to deal with the cold and embrace the good things that come along with this season.
So again in no particular order...
#1 Mittens
I LOVE mittens! I love how adorable they look, I love how warm they feel, and I love all the fun designs and styles! It's dumb I know, but it certainly makes me feel better to wear mittens.
#2 Heeled Boots
Oh my goodness! If I'm not wearing heeled boots during the winter- well then I don't know what I'm wearing on my feet! I love my heeled boots- especially my carmel-colored ones! I basically wear them with everything!!
#3 Sledding
I think I'm biased about sledding because it was one of my favorite dates with Ryan when we started dating! We went sledding with his roommate, Dan and Dan's girlfriend Stacey. I couldn't have possibly had a better time. So great! And I will always love sledding!
#4 Hot Chocolate
Who doesn't love hot chocolate?! I love it so much it was our favor for our wedding! Ryan and I packed hot chocolate packets and people thought they were professionally made- that's how awesome we are! They were delicious and we actually still have some packets. I can't say that the marshmellows are still good in there but they are delicious little treats after a cold day outside!
#5 Moose Pajama Pants
I love these pajama pants but the husband is less than impressed by these beauties! I have some dark red, flannel pajama pants with moose all over them. They are the comfiest pants on the planet but I guess they aren't very sexy. But they are so warm and wonderful- waking up wearing these pants is the best feeling while snuggled in our bed.
#6 Christmas lights outside
I absolutely love the two little trees in our front yard that have colored lights on them! Every year Husband puts the lights up around Thanksgiving and it is the official start of the holidays!! I love that almost every house on our street has some sort of lights outside. And to be honest, if you don't have lights, you are sort of a dud!
#7 Scarves
If you know anything at all about me, you know I LOVE my scarves! I have a million and one and I can't hardly go one day with a scarf. I actually feel naked without one on. They dress everything up, keep me warm, and give me a great accessory! I'm obsessed If you ever don't know what to get me for a gift- get me a scarf and you're golden!
#8 Snow days
I secretly love when it snows so much that we can't get out of our driveway. Not because we don't go to the office- remember we can work from home any day- but because it's cozy! I love when the plows come through the street and we have to go shovel our driveway. I love the snow glistening in the sun! And I love hunkering down at home as a true snow day!
#9 Crock-pot recipes
I LOVE when Ryan and I decide to cook in the crock-pot and the smells fill the whole house all day long! It's the real best, when you cook all day and come home from being out and you open the door and the smell overwhelms your senses! It's like tasting the food without gaining the calories! Yummy!!
#10 Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day
Seriously all my favorite holidays- except 4th of July! It's all about family and blessings- which I have so many of! It's about celebrating my faith, the birth of Jesus and again more family! It's about celebrating what the last year was about and excitement for what the next year holds- surprises! And it's all about my love for my husband- which I have a lot of! Seriously the best!!
