Frigid Temperatures – Time to Break Out the Wool

posted in family, home |

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband’s primary reason for moving to Texas that he has repeated to me over and over again for the last 3 years is that he HATES the cold weather of the midwest. Well dear, maybe you haven’t noticed, but our temperatures here in Dallas have really been struggling lately to get above the freezing mark and it’s downright cold!

It’s so dang cold in fact, I’m sleeping at night on flannel sheets, wearing fleece pajamas and layered on top with 3 quilts. Tomorrow’s high temperature is supposed to be reached at midnight (tonight) and will only go down from there with windchills causing it to feel like it’s in the teens in the morning when my daughter has to stand outside at the school bus stop.

Now we moved south to get AWAY from the frigid temperatures, so I also gave away most of our winter clothing. Once my daughter had grown out of her winter coat, we never bothered to replace it. After all, it’s not supposed to be this cold here! We are setting records now!

I’m seriously going to have to do some emergency warm clothes shopping and I’m definitely checking out the wonderful and comfortable clothing line at Ramblers Way. Now, this isn’t your mother’s wool clothing. Remember that old wool? Itchy, itchy, itchy! There really is no other way to describe it! Even when I used to own wool pants that were nicely lined, I could still feel the itch!

Ramblers Way creates versatile, comfortable wool clothing that you’d swear wasn’t wool. It comes from Rambouillet and is some of the finest wool in this country. Their clothes are all natural and pre-washed so they arrive ready to wear. Most importantly, they are SOFT and comfortable. It will definitely make you re-imagine wool!

Well, now that I’ve created my shopping list, I’m headed outside to make sure our outdoor pipes are covered so they don’t freeze overnight. Stay warm everybody!

It is cold there for sure. I was watching the weather and when they mentioned your area I thought of you freezing out there. For us freezing is normal, but you-guy! burrrrr. Layer on the clothing; I usually wear 3 tops this time of the year, heeheehee.

Chris – I’m wearing layers for sure! I’ve actually had my fleece pull over on for 2 days, I bought it for when we go to softball games! Glad it’s coming in handy!

Karen – yep, our high was 25 today, but the windchill is around 14. We have to watch for icing on the roads and broken pipes, so far so good. I hit some ice this morning in the parking lot at T’s school, but that was it. Stay warm!
