A Few 'Fessions for February

 And, just like that, it's time to hit the 'fessional for some real talk.

February may be the shortest month, but it certainly packs a punch with all the happenings and goings on. Winter wages on, but spring is less than a month away...if we can just muster through these (hopefully) few remaining weeks of "seasonal" weather. 

What say we gather at the 'fessional...I have a few 'fessions that need mention...

Outrunning The Cold, Literally

Back outside never felt so fine!

After nearly three weeks, the extreme cold weather broke and Iowa returned to its regularly scheduled winter. Some days even saw temps well above the seasonal norm! Of course, that gave way to melting (LOTS of melting) as the 30ish inches of ground snow slowly shrank...but who am I to complain?

All is Calm, All is Bright

As much as I dis on winter weather, I cannot deny the beauty of it on occasion.

After all, bright sunshine reflecting on white snow makes for a pretty tranquil setting. We didn't get any new snow this week, but the morning fog made for plenty of frosty mornings none the less. 'Tis the season, right?   

My (current) Favorite Things

My favorite things. Sigh.

I don't know about you, but my favorite things are ever evolving. I'm not fickle, but my needs change...in terms of the current season or my state of fitness.

I'm also pretty open-minded, and am always on the lookout for new-to-me things to try.

Here's a few of my (current) favorite things. Don't worry, while I have linked the sites for these favorite items, none of them are affiliate links. They're simply must-have necessities that I use regularly and adore.
