If you were looking for a blog that complains about winter, you’ve come to the wrong place.

I get absolutely giddy when the news starts reporting snow fall. I mean it – I start dancing around the house like it’s Christmas. I love hunkering down and watching every snow report from all over the city, taking a walk outside with the pupster, sledding, eating snow cream, having my husband trapped at home and all to myself for a couple days. It’s fantastic.

But I will say, after the whole thing is over it is nice to get out of the house for a bit. Get away from everything you’ve been staring at for days, maybe go to the store and buy some new things to freshen up your house and get prepped for spring (I’m throwing the “prep for spring” thing in there for others who wish this weather was gone).

This week on the show I got to showcase all the great things Altar’d State in West Town Mall has to offer. So watch this brief clip and get yourself in there to freshen up!
