Special Weather StatementOnce upon a time we were able to just snuggle in and wait out the really cold spells. Life doesn't allow for that these days so we'll have to make do with some extra warm gear and "essentials" like: long underwear from Lands' End (just ordered some yesterday in fact), the World's Softest Socks (should be labeled the World's Warmest Socks IMHO!), Hazelnut Cream Coffee and whatever mittens and gloves we can manage to find. Anyone else have a lot of trouble keeping track of kids' mittens?

"Arctic blast" does not sound nice. Keep cozy.
Brrr is right! Keep warm!
Funny, I have World's Softest Socks too, but they're not the same ones as yours! Which begs the question, which ones are truly softer? :-)
That's funny, Molly, though I don't suppose you need the World's Warmest socks in Southern California - well at least not most of the time! :)
Usually I prefer natural fiber-type clothing, but these acrylic socks make a huge difference in keeping me warm on the coldest days. It's too bad they don't come in kid sizes.
It turns out, I think they're the same socks - judging from the "World's Softest" logo on the sole.
Really? That's strange... they don't quite look the same. I got mine at Costco and I love 'em in the wintertime!
You're right -- I certainly don't need the World's Warmest Socks here in SoCal, but the Softest wouldn't hurt! :-)
