ways to keep warm when your heater is broken:

• stay in bed, like forever
• laundry! learn to finally adore that the kids’ clothes are all inside out. sticking your whole arm down each and every fresh-from-the-dryer pant leg is so warming!
• long long showers
• bake something delicate. watch it like a hawk. from six inches away.
• coffee and tea
• long car rides, heater cranked
• pull your unsuspecting kids on your lap and hug ’em lots, even if they hate it
• gather ’round ye old space heater
• thank your lucky stars you live in a place where it’s only in the mid 50s, mid winter

don’t miss the crazy beautiful new this joy+ride, issue #51 with winter landscapes from martha mcquade. i’ve only watched the slideshow a bazillion times instead of a gazillion — since, you know, our heater’s broken and she’s showing off a lot of pretty snow.
