The Gift of Warmth

The weatherman says it feels like 7 degrees outside, and I was sprinkled by tiny snow glitters as I walked into the office this morning. For all the ugly it brings – colds, freezing extremities, and a lack of sunshine – winter, especially during Christmas, certainly has its perks! This year I’m trying my best to enjoy these perks. Here are a few of mine. Christmas. The New Year. Hot chocolate. Sweaters. A roaring fire. Indoor exercise classes. Cuddling up with a good book. Homemade soups. What do you love about winter?

Stock up on some handmade winter goods and give the gift of warmth this holiday season. It’s not too late to make Christmas orders (if you do so quickly!) or you can give the below items as Happy New Year and Winter “Happies.” First, I was so impressed with Kat’s knitting goods, that I had to share:

Kat has been knitting for five years and uses the garter stitch for all of her projects.

Baby blankets $35, baby hats $20, wrist warmers $12, and scarves $15, and prayer shawls $35 (not pictured).

All items can be made to order. There are lots of colors to choose from. You can use solids, stripes, two colors at the same time (see baby blanket for example).




Email kat.jones3@gmail.com with orders. Some items are available and others will need 1-2 weeks to complete. Shipping will be $2-$4 depending on items. She accepts cash or check.

This is prime time to purchase your On.a.Whim heating sachets: a natural heating pad to ease a plethora of aches and pains. All you have to do is microwave your sachet for three minutes in the microwave and then take in the moist heat and lavendar aroma over and over again.


Sachets are $15 a piece ($3 for shipping) and come in a variety of fabrics.

You may want to complement your heating sachet with a lovely gift basket. Baskets range from $35 to $50 and can be filled with an assortment of goodies. The ones below have an Anthropologie initial mug, star ornament, Tazo tea, whimsical magnet and Thymes products.



Email onawhimbird@gmail.com to place orders.

Sending warm winter wishes your way today!

SEC Championship Weekend: WAR EAGLE!



This weekend was absolutely incredible. We hosted a booth for our injured military program at SEC Fanfare and got to watch the Tigers dominate in the Championship game.


Check out one of my favorite activities at Fanfare. Little Tigers and Gamecocks competed on the Dr. Pepper Field. So cute!

Auburn defeated South Carolina 56-17, and our man Cam threw for a career-best 335 yards, four touchdowns, plus ran for a pair of scores.

I'm so glad Matt was there to celebrate with us! Up next, Glendale, AZ. WAR EAGLE!
