How do we get ourselves ready for the winter ahead when we can barely get out of bed and into some real clothes for the day? Jammies are too tempting… especially when a fluffy cat is waiting for us in the rafters, maniacally waiting for the purrfect moment to hop on our laps and melt our to-do list away for the day. Well, if they really want us to be cozy, who are we to protest?
