Show and Tell Monday

10:47 PM

1. Tell us what you like to do when it's cold outside.

One of my most favorite things to do when it's cold outside is slip on my Uggs (yes I still love them, and I need to get a new pair) or most comfy slippers, curl up on the couch with my little family, and put in a nice winter movie like White Christmas or Holiday Inn. Sip on a nice glass of red wine or hot cocoa and my night is made!

2. Tell us some of your favorite winter recipes.

They're not full recipes, but feel free to ask for them if you'd like! My moms freakin' fantastic chili, I choose to sub the ground beef with ground bison and let it cook all night and day before eating it...yum! Also, Pecan Cream Pie! My stepdad's mom was a baker by trade and she had the most amazing pecan cream pie in the WORLD guys. I mean, rock your socks off, pecan cream pie. It's become our Thanksgiving staple dessert. Quite honestly, anything in my crock-pot!

3. Show a picture of something that makes you think of the cold.

4. Tell us/show us some of your favorite accessories/outfits for the winter.

Apt 9 boot from Kohl's

Burberry Pashmina

Caheez Winter Headband

The North Face Parka

The wonderful lady we are buying our house from introduced me to the Apt 9 boots, currently on sale at Kohl's for $49.99. Love love love the Burberry Pashmina (doubles as a nursing cover!). Found this fantastic headband over at Caheez for only $20. A splurge, I have the Eddie Bauer version, a great down parka. It gets chilly in these here parts!

5. Tell us if you had the option snow or no snow, what would you pick?

No snow. At least this year. Josh isn't old enough to enjoy it, and I'm not looking forward to bundling him up and trying to keep him warm here. Not to mention have to carry him on slippery streets/sidewalks/steps when I have a hard enough time keeping my balance. Plus, as an RN I don't get snow days with him! Next year I'll be all about it!
