1. What Do You Do In the Winter That Brings You JOY?
When I think about November and December, getting ready for the holidays...cooking warm and cozy meals and celebrating with family and friends always brings me joy. When I think about the New Year and the rest of the winter months, I think about fun indoor activities like watching my kids dance/play hockey

I wear warm clothing/get cozy with a blanket and sometimes pull out the space heater and I also love to light a good candle to make things extra cozy around here

Umm...when it is over...sorry not sorry...ha!

ReplyDeleteWell, you've already inspired me to drink more water. I definitely don't drink enough water in winter. I like my water cold, and the weather's already cold, and well, it's a problem.
ReplyDeleteHolly, this was such a fun topic and I enjoyed reading your answers. It looks like you are surviving the winter!
ReplyDeleteYour home, and especially that fireplace, certainly do look cozy! I'm with you on looking forward to winter being over!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeletethat risotto looks so good. i want a gas fireplace to just switch on too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd mind the cold of the northern states around the holidays, but I would be DONE by February. Hang in there, spring is almost here!
ReplyDeleteThe risotto looks amazing! I am with you on the best part of winter is when it's over!
