Snow Day

We’re on our second “snow day” of the week down South.  And, sadly, this is the extent of the snow…

I’ll go ahead and state the obvious – there aren’t many snowmen being built with those ten flurries.  Rather, we’ve spent the last two days bundled up inside watching cartoons, playing games, trading football cards, sipping hot chocolate, building legos, and fighting (just keepin’ it real folks.)

I figure this is as good a time as any to put out my annual plug for my two favorite ways to warm up on chilly days – Harney and Sons tea and the good old Cherry Pit Pac.

I am able to find two of my three favorite Harney & Sons teas at Fresh Market – Paris and Hot Cinnamon Spice.  I also adore the Wedding tea, but it has to be ordered online.  I’m trying to cut back on the sugar in my tea *gasp* but these are good enough to where I don’t miss it too too much.  Now, while I realize the cherry pit pac isn’t the most gorgeous thing in the world (hello, crazy cat lady), it is so so so wonderful to heat up in the microwave and drape over your shoulders while watching tv.  I also love to heat it and put it under the covers my bed while I brush my teeth.  Makes it so warm and cozy to climb into. 

With that, I’m off to entertain the monkeys.  They are climbing the walls… literally.

PS. Check out the great wrapping station on Operation: Organization at 11 Magnolia Lane today!
