Five Ways to add Extra Cozy

I'll be the first to admit that I prefer warmer weather.  If it were up to me, it would snow on Christmas, and that's it.  Now, don't get me wrong, I think snow is beautiful.  We have already had a few flurries in the Midwest, but nothing too awful yet.  I get as excited over the first big snow just like most children, but it's the long months to follow that wear me down.  With that being said, I LOVE creating A L L   T H I N G S   C O Z Y!!  In this post, I am sharing five ways to add extra ...
