Happy Friday! Are you snowed in
Just look at all that snow (before the freezing rain started)!
We have had the craziest storm here in New York. In one day, we got about a foot of snow, and then the freezing rain started. Now as I write this, it's snowing again! I think we may even get more snow this weekend.
Needless to say, I'll be spending a lot of time inside this weekend. It's probably a good thing, because my apartment could use a good cleaning. So now you know my weekend plans!
Here are some of the things that caught my eye this week, and I'm sharing some great sales, too!
I love cheesecake and this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake from Smitten Kitchen looks absolutely decadent.

That sprout recipe looks absolutely amazing! Love the list of sales for these snowy days. We've been getting surprisingly warm temps here in Utah... I think our winter went down to you!
I think it did, Gloria;) I'm hoping it warms up a bit this week. Thanks for stopping by!
We have been getting so much snow lately where I am. Have to admit, I'm kind of tired of it; though, it does inspire me to take a lot of pictures, haha. I need some warm weather though! Love your pictures, makes me want to go out and start taking more of my own. 🙂
Thanks, Felicia! I definitely have been getting out as much either. It's just been too cold. I'm crossing my finger that we both get some warm weather soon;)
No snow here, but lots and lots of rain, so I may be homebound just to stay dry! I need to come back and look at all your links! Definitely adding you to my Bloglovin feed! Stopping by from #SITSBlogging!
Thanks, Geri! I have to admit that I like snow more than rain. I'm hoping we have a drier spring after this winter;)
We got lots of snow this winter here in the midwest. My sis is out in the east cost and she got hit pretty bad, too! Just make sure you're stocked up on movies and hot cocoa. I like to keep things cozy during snow days! Stopping by from #SITSBlogging 🙂
That is the perfect way to spend a snow day:) Thanks for stopping by, Gracielle!
I can't wait to find the perfect red lipstick this year. its on my to-do list! this is such an awesome post! I wish I would have found it earlier so that i wouldn't have been walking around my apartment aimlessly for so long during this ridiculous storm!

Ha ha ... Thanks for stopping by, Diane!
That is definitely more snow than we have on the ground here. We just had a bit of a heat wave and most of the snow melted. Today we got more snow and some freezing rain. We are pretty used to the weather bouncing back and forth though. Love all of the links! So many wonderful things to check out! Thank you! Visiting from SITS!
Thanks for stopping by, Emily! I think we are supposed to get a heat wave this week - 40's at least:)
Holy snow! Oh my goodness. It's gorgeous though. Great link round-up, I especially like all of the sales!
Thanks, Alison! Can you believe we got another storm this weekend? It feels like it's never going to end.
Turns out my design aesthetic is the inside of a restoration hardware. Not that far off really. Have a great weekend and stay warm.
