A New Blog for Me and You!

Hey friends! I know it's been awhile. But see? I had a great reason...a great reason who is over four months old now. Can you believe it? (She sure is cute.)

But I thought returning to blogging now (we just got our first snow of the season) is a super idea. There's more time spent inside, more time wanting to connect with friends and family, and a great time for holiday giveaways :)

So I'll be blogging every Monday and Friday (check my sidebar to see what about) and the occasional Wednesday about writing and reading. Also, because I love a reason to give things away, I'll be holding a monthly giveaway. All you have to do is follow my blog and comment on any Friday post of the month to be entered.

Though I'm not a big fan of the cooler weather, one of my favorite things about the change of season is jeans and long-sleeved shirts. It's nice to feel snug and cozy, and maybe even justified wearing sweat pants around the house because you don't plan on going anywhere.

One thing I can't live without during the cooler months is my slippers. How about you? What cool weather item of clothing or accessory is a must?

  3. Your baby is very sweet looking! Great photo for the album!

    Living in Florida where its mostly sunny, my blood is thin when the weather cools by 20 or 30 degrees. It is colder in the morning and at night mostly. Right now its rainy. I love wearing long sleeved sweaters and jackets, and I can't live without socks, after being barefoot or just in sandals all year!

    Happy Halloween- and welcome back!

  6. It was such fun to see your blog post in my Google Reader this morning, Cindy. Your little princess is adorable.

    I'm with Katie. I need blankets when it's cold outside. My favorites are my fluffy down ones that keep my snuggly warm.

  19. I love my slippers all year long, but sweaters are my favorite in winter. I just love layering and bundling up. My favorite time of year!

    Congratulations on your bundle of joy, Cindy!! I had no idea you were even expecting. I've been away far too long!
