My post is up this week over at Design Sponge. It's on "stuff"-free alternatives to holiday gift-giving, including donations to charitable organizations and gifts of "time" and "experiences." Come check it out! Hope you're all weathering this week's primer to winter well. It's cold, cold, cold here. Fortunately, I've finally begun to perfect and implement the art of well-appointed layering. Two thermal long underwear shirts, covered by a wool cardigan, accompanied by corduroy pants and two layers of wool socks (including one purple thigh-high wool/acrylic number that is the best $7 I've ever spent) seems to be the secret to staying warm. That and a wood stove, hot tea, a sweet husband, 5 cats and two highly affectionate dogs.
Have a lovely weekend! A power outage on Wednesday, coupled with a corrupted Word file yesterday, got me a bit behind on writing. I'll be catching up on odds and ends, while hosting my friend Katrina Saturday night (she's preparing to move to southeast Asia to teach ESL for the next few years!). Hot toddies, homemade dinner and much needed hang time with a dear lady will help make the house all that much warmer!

Sounds like a wonderful way to stay warm with all the furry ones.
