karen - i’m glad you had a good day.
Jaimie - I just love how real you are. I love that you don’t “stage” your life for photos. You show a coffee mug on a paper towel, not delicately placed in a totally white background on a nice little plate. It’s so real and comforting and I think that’s a big part of why people love you so much. : )
Lisa - Please share the pumpkin muffin recipe!! Thanks for always brightening my day.
Julie - I never knew pb and apples was weird?? now pb and pickles… not too sure about that!

Tracy Fisher

Dana @ Bungalow'56 - If you want to feel warmer, just pop over to see what real cold is. And now, even though I’ve stopped drinking coffee at home, I am about to get up and go make myself a cup. Your happy cup of java did me in.
Dana
Sam Miller Gott - A Christmas Story!! Yeah for hot baths and wine. x
Gina - Love that movie! Stay warm, looks like it was a great day for a hot bath too!
gina f. - cute pix! Can’t wait to see what you are making with that beautiful fabric! Have fun!!
Lindsay - apples and peanut butter = greatest snack EVER.
I wish so badly that I had an awesome bathtub. We’re in an apt now with a shower/bath and I don’t do baths in shower/baths. Is that weird? I’m grossed out by the walls. And that it’s an apt. Ew. Can’t wait to have a home with a NEW tub. I will soak forever.
karen - You can put your arms down when you get to school!!!
My family spent Christmas in NYC and our hotel did not have the channel that showed A Christmas Story all day. My family really missed that.
We love Waffle
Maria - mmm…you just reminded me that I was going to try to convert my pumpkin bread recipe to a chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe…this weekend might be perfect for it!
patti - Love your new header!!! Where do you find such beautiful fabric?
Alli - What a fabulous day!
Lisa Currie-Gurney - I SO NEED TO MOVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
HUGS FROM MY HEART

-what are you going to make?
-I really, super duper need your recipe for those muffins! 🙂
-have you tried apples and almond butter? That’s my favorite.
margo sexton - You wrote about this a few posts back but I wanted to comment on it. You wrote that you love movies with Vince Vaughn PLEASE tell me I am not the first person to tell you your husband looks very very much like him. I have thought it for as long as I have read your blog. Just wanted to share and would be curious to hear if you have been told that
Heather @ Cookie Mondays - eeeek! are you making a quilt??
Carrie Kiser - Perfect day indeed.
Especially if there was no “you know what” out in the hallway on your only clean towels while you were in the bathtub! LOL
april - love this post!!! -2 degrees is way to cold!! Waffle may be the samrtest dog ever to lay in front of the heater…I would do that too!!! lol
Jenny Joy - I can’t wait to see what you do with all that adorable fabric! Pillows? Something else? I’m sure it will be great! 🙂
Beth - Love the last picture especially if it is that cold where you are at.
Yeah I agree can’t wait to see what you make!
Shannon - A Christmas Story! I love that movie so much and I love coming here to lurk at your blog 🙂 Your pictures are the best, your family is adorable and I want your house!
Thank you for always sharing your life with all of us.
ashley jensen - I love heart shaped things and a rock like that would be on display in my house if I found one! Our dog likes to lay in front of our space heater (in our computer room) too.
Ryanne - Love the new header. And envious of your bathtub!
Stacy - oh ya hot baths are my new obsession. I have to run in icy snow packed Wichita so you know what i’m dealing with. I can’t seem to warm up so i find myself soaking up some warmth in the bath. & I need your pumpkin muffin recipe!! They look wonderful!
nancy beach - so where do you get all your wonderful fabric? I LOVE all the colors.
Don’t you love the Piperlime boxes? I turned mine inside out and reused it that way.
Cari - Well, I thought 7 degrees was cold this morning. I’ve got nothing on your -2! Ha! 😉 And there’s nothing like a handwritten note in the mail. It truly is a lost art! Stay warm today! 🙂
Janie Fox - AWW I adore Mad Men. I have just started watching How I Met Your Mother….loving it. I might steal that Waffle!! And Talby and Annie- too cute!!
Keri @ Keri's Korner - And I thought my family was the only one with spoiled rotten dogs! LOL. My mom has a chihuahua that will scratch at her house coat until she open it and lets him in to snuggle. If she is sitting down, he is right there tucked under her arm. It doesn’t matter if it is winter or summer. That’s his spot.
Laura - That last picture just made me relax… I realized I was sitting at my laptop all tensed up.
And, as always, I adore your dog.
(and I adore the fabric and Piperlime box)
chasity - a christmas story???
love this one too~
fragile….must be italian
🙂

happygirl - I think one may have had to live under a rock for 20 years to not ID the movie. I LOVE your day, all but the -2 degrees. I could live without that forever. Please stop by my blog some time. You have inspired me.
sarah @ Perpetual Blind Date - My favorite is apples and fat free caramel. Yummy! Looks like you had a fantastic day.
