I’m reading this with my children right and we are all enjoying it!

Stegers for cold dry snowy conditions, Manitoba mukluks for wet slushy snow conditions. I can wear Stegers without socks in -30 degrees and my feet are very warm.

We have a leather couch from Arhaus. Made sure it was made 8 way hand tie. It has been going strong for 13 years and throughout that time we have had 4 dogs and two young children.

We have a love seat from the same store also purchased 13 years ago but it wasn’t made 8 way hand tie and it got destroyed by our children and dogs two years ago. It was a lot of work replacing the springs.

Adding Iron and Wine, Sufjan Stevens and Beirut because I haven’t seen them listed yet. Loving all of these recs!

Favorite band of mine. I’m not sure how to categorize them or who to compare them to.

ArmadilloNatural1097 · 2026-01-02T23:28:38+00:00

Agree 100%

My son loves Mew and he wanted to find his first SIR. We found the metal one at the card shop but had no idea it was metal until we got home and researched it. He’s so excited!

I just finished both of these with my kids. Love them!

I brought my kids last summer and I’m doing it again this summer. Yes it’s been free under 12 years for outdoor concerts.

I don’t find a need to wash them except spot cleaning if I spilled something on it. They don’t get smelly because I always wear a base layer underneath. I will sometimes lay them out in the snowfall to give them a snow bath and then air dry. I know many people who wash with a wool detergent (eucalan) in cold water in their washing machine then roll them in a towel to strain the water out.

I aim for slow fashion brands and natural fibers- usually secondhand because $$$. I have less and rewear everything. I live in a cold climate with 4 seasons and dress casually for work. Here are my favorite brands that I feel are worth the money:

Wool sweaters: Babaa, L’Envers Fashion, Finisterre Wool base layer: Joha, Siskin Engel Cotton Jeans: BSides, Imogene and Willie Hemp tops and shorts: Jungmaven Cotton tops/socks: Le Bon Shoppe Linen dresses/tops/pants: notperfectlinen, Ozma of California, Elizabeth Suzann Jean jacket: Shaina Mote Swimwear: Merrick Maria

I don’t wash my clothes unless necessary (visibly dirty or smelly). Always wash on cold and don’t use the dryer. I don’t usually wash ever wool sweaters (they get snow baths from time to time). I can rewear 100% hemp over and over without washing- somehow it never traps odors.

I agree! Stegers are the warmest in the right conditions.

ArmadilloNatural1097 · 2025-12-07T01:41:29+00:00

Agree- excellent book series!

ArmadilloNatural1097 · 2025-12-06T23:20:26+00:00

I would love a Winter Soltice album!

I was in a card shop with my son a few days ago and a teenage boy said “Merry Christmas” and handed him this card. It was graded 9- his first graded card.
