Day 346. Winter Must-Haves, Day 5.

Flannel Sheets. MUST have them. :) This is one of my husband's favorite things about this time of year... He's a very happy guy when he crawls into bed, to discover I've brought out the flannel sheets. :) All warm and soft and snuggly!

Day 345. Winter Must-Haves, Day 4.

Once again, I will emphasize the need for MOISTURIZING!!! It is a necessity this time of year! My poor, little guys get the worst chapped lips. We have found this to be a good, soothing solution through the day. However, at night after their baths, I use something heavier, especially on their cheeks and chin. Maybe I'll post about that, too. :) Not today, though.

Day 346. Winter Must-Haves, Day 3.

Technically, I burn candles all year round. I'm obsessed with pretty fragrances. However, I find it essential in the winter time. Something that smells like cookies baking, or of any fall-fragrance (apples, cider, pumpkins, mulberry, etc.) will lift my spirits on any chilly day. Love it.

Day 345. Winter Must-Haves, Day 2.

Good body lotions!!! I LOVE a pretty-smelling, thick and creamy, lotion to lather everywhere after a hot shower. Let me just tell you, it saves this girl from some yucky, dry, itchy skin, and it's worth the extra 30 seconds it takes to apply it. I've learned this the hard way! :)

Day 345. Winter Must-Haves, Day 1.

I've decided to compile a few favorites of mine, during this cold, chilly season. :) I don't know how many I'll do, but here's the first:

A WARM COAT!
My husband laughed when I told him I wanted a new coat... for practical reasons. He was surprised when I explained that I needed something WARM, as opposed to a certain color, style, or fashion. His comment was, "My, my.... how things have changed." Whatever. I got my cozy warmth, and I don't think it's too terribly ugly to look at in the meantime. :)
