Winter Musings

What makes winter feel so, well, wintery and christmas so christmasy (to me).


comfy sweaters that almost swallow me up

the pop and snap of the sparks in the fireplace

cool breezes floating through the air

looking everywhere for more things to put on my already lengthy Christmas list

getting a blanket, a book, and a cup of cider and sitting down on my bed to read

warm, comfy boots

jackets, sweatshirts, and other long-sleeved layering items

that indescribable feeling that i feel that i feel whenever i walk outside

the leafless trees that still look stunning

scarves and boots

being able to see extended family

christmas shopping with friends

christmas parties

christmas songs

Hanging with Emma

Today I hung out with a great friend of mine, Emma, and we went to Starbucks. We decided to get a few cups and decorate them with sharpies and pens. It was SO much fun! Here are some pics. Tell me what you think! :)

Emma also has a blog called "Living fully by Faith." here's the link: http://emmavogelsang.blogspot.com/ . Check it out!

A way to make a difference is by donating a water filter to places around the world, like Africa, where their water is filthy and sometimes even deadly. It's about 100-150 dollars for one filter. I dare you to donate a filter this week. Tell me where you donated down below in the comments.
