Over the last couple of months, I’ve written more “How-To” posts than I realized. I think that one of the main reasons why I love working on posts like these so much is because you seem to enjoy reading them as much as I enjoying writing them.

Because I’m so insanely busy with work lately, I couldn’t publish a post that I had scheduled to go live today (no time to finish it!). The icing on the cake is the fact that the furnace in our house went out and I’m left with no heat!! If there is one thing that everyone knows about me, is the fact that I’m always cold. I get made fun of at the office because I like to wear my blanket scarf when sitting at my desk and if I could, I’d probably bring an electric blanket with me to work every winter. Luckily our furnace is getting fixed at this moment. I find it so difficult to think when I’m cold though, it’s a little crazy. This morning, when we noticed that the heat went out, I was walking around the house not knowing what day of the week it is all I kept thinking was “I’m so cold, I can’t take this… wait, is today Wednesday?” My hubby kept saying that I’m exaggerating (well.. it is almost 60 degrees outside so it can’t be that bad) but when I’m cold, I can’t function. Despite being so busy and having to deal with the perks of being a homeowner, I can’t help but feel grateful. Right now I’m particularly grateful for the fireplace and my little electric heater because without that, I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed this morning ;) .

Now back to blog business! Most of my How-To posts always get great feedback from you guys, this is why today I’m doing a little roundup, sharing my most-loved “How-To’s”.

    I am the exact same – always, always freezing! I can’t function properly when I’m cold either so you can tell your hubby that you’re not alone! Lol.
