five things Friday: snow problem edition

For the last couple of weeks it's been a daily - sometimes twice daily - snow shoveling kind of situation. While the seemly nonstop snow accumulation is starting to get a little old (and it's only early January...wahhhhh!), I thought it would be a good time to remember some of the things that get me through it:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

It's helpful to have something to actually enjoy in the snow, and for me that's snowshoeing in the woods, or even along the (frozen) beach, like I did at New Year's. And then of course some homemade hot cocoa mix when you come back in from that - or from the incessant shoveling! - is nice.

But otherwise, I just avoid going outside! Indoors, I'm all about the fuzzy blankets, Netflix/Amazon Prime offerings (currently loving The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Broadchurch, with Godless next in the queue), and my adorable new slippers for extra coziness. That'll be my weekend - snow problem at all.

    Have you watched Dark on Netflix? It's definitely on the "dark" side, but an incredible viewing experience. I highly recommend listening in German with English subtitles -- we tried the first episode in English and it was BAD.

    I got those same slippers for Christmas! In fact, I'm wearing them right now. They are super cozy, but the tassels make them.

    I keep hearing about this Marvelous show, too ~ definitely checking it out! I'm on snow day #2 here (north of Boston) so it's good to have some new things to check out!

    I’m wondering if I’d enjoy snowshoeing. I didn’t like cross country skiing as a kid, and it just feels like hard to transport equipment. Maybe I could get into snowshoing! I need a reason to get out in winter and skating just seems like a broken bone waiting to happen with this klutz!

    I'm definitely in the "stay indoors" camp so the fuzzy blankets and slippers are just what I need this time of year. Aaron has been watching Broadchurch and it's one I keep unintentionally getting sucked into as well.

    The slippers are darling. I also need to watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I enjoyed reading this article about the sound track http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/marvelous-mrs-maisel-1950s-music.html

    Love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel! We're currently watching Turn on Netflix and finding it hard to not stay up too late -- it's the perfect binge-worthy show for winter as Nashville is actually really cold right now.
