Embracing all that winter has to offer!

The news media have forewarned us all to stay safe and warm inside our homes.  I believe Mr. Groundhog may have peeked out of his door and went right back into his cozy little abode!  No matter what his prediction is, let's hope that sunnier days are ahead of us!  
Until then, let's turn our thoughts to good old fashion winter fun.   If you're short on ideas of what to do, here are some of our family traditions that you might enjoy: 

  1. Magic snow night...wait for that perfect evening when the temps are a little warmer, the snow sparkles and there is a peaceful calm outside....then make foot tracks and snow angels all over the yard!
  2. Look at family photos while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate.
  3. Play cards or a board game with your family.
  4. Have a picnic on a blanket by the heater and pretend it is summer.  Point out imaginary butterflies, birds and other things that you enjoy seeing in the warm weather.
  5. Pick a series of movies that you love and have a movie fest complete with popcorn!
  6. Make homemade cards and mail them to friends and family who you miss seeing.

May I also suggest that when there is a break in the winter storm that you consider visiting my Orchard Park, NY home-based boutique.  It is filled with many items perfectly sweet for a Valentine's Day gift.  Some of the holiday themed garments are: lovely skirts ($6), hearts abound slumber shirts ($12) and irresistible taffeta dresses ($19).  Of course, the "I Heart" hoodie and pant sets ($19) are perfect for not only saying "I love you" but also expressing what you "heart".  Currently, the available themes are: Mickey, Minnie, PB & J, cupcakes, dogs, cats, unicorns, frogs, peace signs, penguins and perfect for this week...SNOW! 

Please remember to call (716) 662-4848 ahead to arrange your visit so that I can be sure to have a cup of hot chocolate waiting for you!
