Cold Weather Favorites + Bird

First things first, thank you to all who thought about and prayed for Bird yesterday.  He has a way to go on his recovery but is relaxing at home on his sofa with Sister, her Mister, Mother and Daddy-O tending to his every need.  As much as Cookie and I wanted to go visit, we think he needs a few more days to rest up for their usual playtime shenanigans.  Keep praying for clean biopsy results over the next couple of days.

Now, while cold, windy weather is not my favorite time of the year (as I type my porch curtains are blowing like crazy and my garage door is creaking something awful), I DO enjoy snuggling up in front of a cozy fire with a hot beverage and my cherry pit pac.  These are a few of my favorites…

I am admittedly far from a coffee connoisseur, but Keurig Pumpkin Spice with a generous glug of Bailey’s Creme Brulee creamer is a pretty decadent start to my fall mornings.  Thanks bestie C for introducing me to this last fall!

On the other hand, I do drink a lot of tea and have tried many, many varieties.  Harney & Sons Paris Tea is hands down my number one choice.  Mother, Sister and I drink countless pots of Paris Tea whenever we are together.  Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon and Wedding teas are also outstanding choices.  Some Fresh Markets carry these but Mother heard they are going to discontinue.  We often order online since we drink so much of it :-)

I just set up our hot chocolate station this week and the littles are in heaven!  We stock it with puffed peppermints, dark chocolate chips and mini marshmallows for a delish treat.  The jars are from World Market and come with the darling chalkboard labels!  The tea pot was from Home Goods last year, but I saw a similar version in there last week.

With that, it’s just about time for a cup of tea and a hearty does of Thomas the Train track building…
