Welcome, February! It's the month of love. Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day, Galentines, show yourself some affection with a little self-care, or don't observe the day at all - I hope you find an opportunity to let some love into your life.
Working On: I am doing a little bit of cleaning, organizing, and redecorating around the house. I need to clean out and extremely organize the linen closet. I did a little redo of the kitchen counters - nothing major. I'm also working on winding all my yarn into cakes and reorganizing it. That's a whole process, but it will get there eventually.
I'm a month into the temperature blanket and so far I am pleased with how it's looking. So far, I have only had to use a few of the cooler colors. I am excited to see the colors change when we start to get warmer temperatures in a few months.
Celebrating: The Man of the House and I made some plans to celebrate Valentine's Day a little early. We're usually very low-key for that holiday, just a dinner out and a card or chocolate or something. But this year we're taking a little local overnight getaway.
Wanting/Needing: After a winter storm dropped about 10 inches of snow on us last month, I realized that I need a new coat/jacket. I haven't really been going out much in the last couple of years - especially in the cold, so I didn't realize how worn out mine was. When I take the dogs out I usually just throw on one of my husband's jackets or an old coat that used to belong to the male offspring. Time to order a little something new for myself.
Eating: I have been trying out some new recipes recently. Last week I made a delicious shakshuka! Over the weekend, I created a version of chicken shawarma. We wrapped the chicken in flatbread with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a homemade yogurt sauce. Yummy! I will definitely be making both of these again.
Loving: The Man of the House and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary later this year. We're starting to make plans for a big anniversary trip. I am loving the anticipation and fun of dreaming about where we'll go and the adventures we will have.

- Post Easter items to Etsy shop
- Organize linen closet
