it's that time of year.

the temps this last week have been brutal.

i'm talking negative digits that i sometimes find hard to fathom.

my parents live in florida where it can be a full 100 degrees warmer than their poor daughter.

seriously, how do i live here?

truth be told it isn't always this cold....just a few weeks a winter but still tough.

i know i wouldn't be able to survive (literally) without my array of beanies.

thankfully there are so many options out there and weeks like this remind me that you can never have enough.

and the bigger the pom the better in my book.

so my friends, stock up!
