Brrrr winter has arrived, which means it’s time to talk about preparing your home for the cold season. Something we have to do each and every year here in cold, windy Chicago!
To weatherize your home for winter, you’ll make repairs and improvements that are aimed at keeping cold air out while preventing heat from escaping. The good news is: there are several things you can do yourself to weatherize your home, prevent heat loss, and save energy, without needing the help of a professional.

Earlier this week, Mitch and I spent a couple of fabulous days back in New York. While the second day–during which these photos were taken–was pretty rainy, I couldn’t get over how warm the weather was. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d gladly take drizzles in exchange for warmth! Such a nice treat.

I have so much to share from my holiday travels, but blogging has proven to be a bit challenging while I’m on the go. When I’m with my family, the last thing I want to do is plop myself down in front of my computer. And while the amount of car time I’ve had so far is absolutely absurd (!), I sadly don’t have internet access on the road.

This post is on auto, as it’s Christmas… and there’s no way in heck I’m blogging today. :) So how about I just leave you with some of my favorite dachshund stuff?
Yes? Great. :)
Mitch, Noodle and I couldn’t find all your home addresses this year, so we had to put our Christmas card up on the blog. ;) Hehe. We’re so funny.
Merry Christmas, KITC Readers, from our family to yours!
Well.
Mitch, Noodle, my cousin Annie, and I all made it safely to Vermont late last night after a five-hour car ride. (Poor Annie! The girl was buried under gifts in the backseat, haha. Such a trooper!) Needless to say, we’re so happy to be with the whole fam! All 15 of us under one roof? The best.

I know I said I’d check back in later today with photos… but is it all right if we just go with an outfit post for now? ;) Driving from New York City to Vermont during rush hour takes it out of you. Sheesh! So… photos to follow!
Checkin’ in from New York! Mitch and I are off to the Union Square Holiday Market this morning, so I’ll be back with some fun photos from our trip later this afternoon. For now, though, here’s an adorable pic of Noodle’s first Central Park experience. :) She loved it!
P.S. — First time posting from my phone! So technologically savvy, haha.

An update: Last night, somewhere around 1 a.m. in western Pennsylvania, I Pricelined a pet-friendly hotel and experienced a minor catastrophe. I accidentally booked the room for the wrong day.
