January Faves

Hi everyone!

It's time to put the hats and hooters away, turn the calendar page and say, "hello" to 2016 and January, or as I refer to it, "the black hole of winter."  In Wisconsin, January is typically bitter cold and often very snowy. Spring can feel a looonnngggg way off.  

But, every season has it's positives, so, of course, I have some January faves to share.

Mmmm...the cozy warmth of a scented candle. I admit I tend to include candles in most of my monthly faves. What can I say? My name is Jane and I am a scent fanatic, lol. I love The Warm Glow Candle Company's Banana Nut Bread loaf candle. Yum~yum~yum. 



As a school employee, I always feel like a kid again when we have a snow day off from school. I admit that when an expected storm fizzles out, and school is not called off as hoped, you are likely to hear me say, "aw, man!" Love a snow day. We don't get them every year, but when we do - woo hoo!!

Comfort food reigns during the cold month of January. Nothing like a tasty stew or soup simmering on the stove, waiting to be served up for supper.

A frosty evening feels a bit warmer when you cozy up under a stack of pretty quilts.

Winter also finds me looking at paint, buying paint and yes, painting! I am hoping to get a fresh coat on my master bath this month.  I also am planning on painting several other spaces in 2016.

My favorite January fave? The clean slate, the fresh start, the blank page that a new year brings. So many possibilities...

Happy New Year my friends! I hope you will come back to check on what I am doing this year, how I am filling my blank page.

Thanks for stopping by,

    That candle sounds wonderful! My least favorite month is not January, but March, when the rest of the world gets spring and we in Wisconsin get more winter. Lol. Have a wonderful new year!

    Love those big cake candles. You know on cold days I dearly love veggie soup, or chili. It's so warming...and so good you can have it for lunch and dinner. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    Oh, Charlie Brown, how delightful. Gotta love him, huh? I wish you could send me some of your Wisconsin snow, it's so beautiful I hear. Yes, warm soups and blankets seem to be so nice during the cold winter months. Living in the part of California that I do, it never gets too cold here.

    Bundle up and stay warm.
