How to stay warm in the winter:
Option One: Hats and scarves!
I must have about a billion scarves (and lots of winter hats as well). To me, scarves are the only fun part of cold weather. Otherwise I’d be happy if it were 75 degrees all year long.
And they double as photography props, like in this oatmeal photo.
But there is another way to stay warm…
Option Two: Henry and Batman choose to park their butts in front of the heat dish.
All. Day. Long.
They even exercise in front of it:
Strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch!
(Henry is very good at downward facing dog.)
Batman is just very good at being cute.
I haven’t been posting many photos of them lately, because they live at my parents’ house and I often forget to bring my camera when I visit. But they’re just as adorable as always!
Option Three: Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl.
It’s one of my favorite warm breakfasts, and it tastes especially good with raisins. Or chocolate chips, of course! I’d share with Batman and Henry… however, they won’t even leave the heat dish for food. Their hierarchy: heat > food > walks > everything else.
Question of the Day:
Do you like scarves? And winter hats?
Tomorrow: Another way to stay warm… A chocolate way

Love the dogs! They are both so cute! My pup has been freezing lately but she refuses to go near the space heater! Scares her I guess!
I love to KNIT scareves and hats for winter wear. It gets really cold here, and I hate the cold, but homemade outerwear makes me feel happy and chic in the cold. Brr!
LOVE scarves. I’m a wee obsessed actually. and pumpkinbread in a bowl may be on the menu for tomorrow morning….
So I just saw a recipe for cake batter pancakes(complete with sprinkles:D)?! omnomnomnom. You should definitely concoct a healthified version of when you have a chance 😉
I usually sit right in front of the heat covered in sweaters and blankets. Because I’m sticking to my cold overnight oatmeal and smoothies 🙂
I just had a “what is this model doing on this blog?” moment. UHM. You are quite stunning, my dear! Try best to stay warm, look as though the dogs are!
Awww I think you are my new best friend :). Thank you so much for such a sweet comment!
Hats are a must for me or something to protect my ears when I run outside. They get sooo cold and I get a Mr. Misty headache otherwise. Cute pink hat you have 🙂
You’re so pretty! :]
I’m not really a scarf or hat fan, but I think that’s because my school permits us from wearing them. I like to wear them, if I remember to wear them on non-school days or off campus!
Can’t wait for the chocolate recipe tomorrow 😉

Katie! I love your pumpkin bread in a bowl but I always eat it cold out of the fridge. Do you warm it up after it thickens? Does it stay thick?
To be honest, I often eat it cold even in the winter :).
But yeah, sometimes I just heat it in the microwave. It stays thick.
I love hats and scarves but I always forget I own them.
I can’t wait for the chocolate recipe tomorrow!
Just found your site and have tried a few recipes. Yum.
I’ve got the ingredients for the Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl. You mention that it’s good on a cold day but I don’t see heating instructions. A quick zap in the microwave?
And I love hats and scarves and shawls!
To be honest, I often eat it cold even in the winter :).
But yeah, sometimes I just heat it in the microwave. I especially like the banana version warmed up, because it makes the banana taste all caramel-y.
That is a gorgeous picture of you!!!
I love scarves, but I think they look weird on me. I’ve been wanting an infinity scarf but haven’t found the right one yet…
Your dogs are too cute!
I will definitely try your pumpkin “bread” sometime soon, but seeing as it is finally warmish in NC today I made a CCK-inspired sweet potato smoothie. Same flavors, but way different temperature! lol
LOVE hats! LOVE scarves! LOVE girls that love hats and scarves!
When I read the forecast this morning for San Diego was to be 72 and sunny with a light breeze, I packed up the kids and made the hour drive to the San Diego Zoo. No hats and scarves today!! Tanktops and shorts!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOO!
Cute pics! Love my hats and scarfs 🙂
Haha I love this post, your pups are so cute! My cat always curls up on the section of the floor which has the hot water pipes running under it to stay warm. Or we cuddle up together 🙂 I love winter scarves, I have a huge navy blue snood that I wear practically everyday because it’s so warm and comfy!
