Still no decorations up

I haven't posted in a while, I think maybe due in part because I feel I'm just talking to myself, it's a bit discouraging.
I'm hoping to get some followers to my blog , at least someday :)

I haven't put up my tree  yet, a bit strange maybe considering the subject of my blog, but it's been so busy with my new baby , and I'm taking care of him alone as the father lives in Europe.
I'm planning to put up possibly two trees still though, with the help of my brother , at least by tuesday .
And off course I'll show some photo's once they're up :)

Knee high socks and arm warmers

I just love loading up on these! They are cheap , warm, and most of all fun! Any color, style or pattern will do . Just this week I bought 3 pairs of fingerless arm warmers on eBay. One pair is purple/white checkered , a short fingerless style :

The seller is li-shi-jian-0123  just for reference.
And I got these :

The seller is wanlu.rog  . These are my favorite.

And finally these , from the same seller :

None of them are here yet , but I have similar styled gloves already and they are a great addition to my winter wardrobe :)  I didn't buy too many knee high socks , just some red nylon/spandex ones , but I'm sure more will come , as they are a winter wardrobe staple favorite of mine :)

December, one of the coziest months of the year!

Already I see trees on top of cars , lights around my neighbours homes , and off course plenty of decorations for sale at my local shops. Where I now live (Florida)  it's still too warm though to feel very 'wintery', to me it could be just out of summer going on to fall. I grew up in the Netherlands , so I'm used to four distinct seasons, something which I absolutely love . I  love exercising outdoors in the cold , give me running in -20c above running in +20c anytime! I just love the cold clean crisp air , especially in the mornings :)  This month I'm likely to be making a  lot of soups , one of my favorite from traditional Dutch cooking is so called "erwten soep ",  just plain pea soup , but delicious none the less ! It can be made vegetarian by replacing the meat with some meat substitute , though I prefer to just leave the meat out, the substitutes don't cut it. Today I made pumpkin soup  , which is also very nice , and healthy , and so easy to make! If you have any favorite cold weather recipes do share them with me , and I shall try them and let you know how it turned out :)
