This giveaway is over! Winner announced this weekend!
Two years ago, Lands’ End sent winter coats for Anna, Noah and I. They are the most comfortable and warm coats ever. Of course, my coat has held up really well because I stay far, far away from snow and well, honestly, driving with a coat on is not fun for me, so I usually just wear a sweater and freeze to death.
{I hate winter.}
BUT, when I do put my coat on, I can honestly say that it’s comfortable and warm and I really love it.
And the kids’ coats? They lasted two whole long, agonizing, freezing winters. And they’re kids who actually play in snow and mud and stuff.
I’m impressed.
So, when Lands’ End asked me if we’d like to try their new line of coats, I remembered that my kids have grown a A LOT since 2009, I agreed.
Anna picked the pink one and Noah picked the green one.
They are really “fancy” coats. There’s even something that wraps comfortably around their thumb that prevents the sleeves from moving up. (which is really important when playing in the stupid snow.)
They love their coats and I SWEAR to you, so do I.
And guess whaaaaat? I get to giveaway a coat to one of my lucky readers!
One lucky reader will receive either the Boy’s Expedition Parka, the 3-in-1 Squall Parka, or for Girl’s the Girl’s Expedition or the Squall Parka. ($99.50 value)

Winter means our sweet boy turning twelve and our preemie 1# 9oz miracle will be 2!!!!!! Warms my heart.

My favorite part of winter…snow! Because for me its a teacher workday and I choose to spend those doing my most important job, hanging out with my babies; it’s playing outside & then coming in to warm, comfort foods like mac & cheese & hot chocolate; its a stack of movies that we never made it to theater to see; it’s cuddling under warm blankets & enjoying a cozy fire; it’s forced family time that I secretly LOVE!

Things I love about winter: hot chocolate, cozy sweaters, Christmas lights, my little boys with pink cheeks and crazy hat hair, NO HUMIDITY (at last, I can straighten my hair and it lasts TWO days instead of just one, woo!).
Something good about winter… okay…. I like those days where you wake up and look out the window and all the trees are frosty and white and everything is still and crisp and lovely.

Pick… hee hee… just kidding!
Anyway… I love cozying up with my kiddos in the winter mornings, pulling the blinds up to watch it snow and knowing that we have to reason to get out of our jammies before 10:00 or eat breakfast before 9:00. I love cranking the heat up just a bit higher and padding around the house in our slippers.
Oh yeah… and I love ripping it up on my snowboard at the mountain! I can’t wait to get my four year old up there this winter!
I love waking up after an overnight snowstorm! The white fluffy stuff covering everything, and sparkling in the bright, bright sun! (And I love it even more if I know I don’t have to leave the house and I can just enjoy it from inside)
I love the holidays. And I love freak snow storms that produce enough snow to make a good snowman or at least some good snow balls to start a war on the cul-de-sac. We don’t usually get a lot down here in Texas, so it’s fun and exciting when we do.
I love the first snow fall that keeps everyone off the roads. The reason I love the eerie, but beautiful stillness that comes with it.
Winter means snow and in our family that means snow walks, we are get dressed up in our winter gear, grab the dog and head out walking in the snow, we will stop and make snow angels, throw snow balls, race and just have fun. We end our time with hot chocolate and red cheeks.
I like seeing my kids make snow angels. It’s just too adorable. And, I love taking pictures of them in the snow. There is something very angelic about it!
Obviously, I like Christmas, but my favorite thing about winter is the snow. I think it’s pretty and I like hiking in it.
I blogged about all of the reasons I LOVE winter and your terrific giveaway! You can link to it here: http://thespiceoflife-rocksprings.blogspot.com/
Thank you!
I love watching the first few snowfalls . . . when it’s still magical and beautiful and I’m not at the point of being completely over it all!
What I love about winter?? I LOVE to spend time inside with my son reading and drinking hot chocolate….I also love watching the excitement in his eyes when we actually get snow (seldom) and then I let him play in it!!
I just posted about the giveaway on my facebook status!
I love shoveling snow. It sounds odd, but with four kids it is peaceful to go outside and enjoy the beauty of it all. Plus, coming in to some hot chocolate is the icing on top!
i do love winter….when it starts. i love the first snow, the first sledding, the first cup of hot chocolate, the first day we’re totally stuck in the house because of the weather and we bake cookies.
by february? i’m totally over it.
I just tweeted about you giveaway!

What I love about winter is the fun filled days sledding and making snow angels with my boys, followed by a lazy evening in front of the crackling fire!
I like to wear flannel pjs in the winter. I hate being cold!
The weight of the snow on the trees, painting a beautiful picture of white.
What I love about winter? Soup. Hot cocoa. Snuggling up in blankets with my babies. Listening to the wind roar outside while we’re warm inside.
my favorite thing is hot chocolate!
I always love the excitement of the first real snow that blankets everything and turns the world white.
But all-day family-friend-people-of-all-ages sledding trips (complete with thermoses of hot chocolate and a big campfire) are hard to beat.
You are INSANE for not liking winter. It’s so comforting to get dressed in all those layers and not have to worry about rolls or bulges that you cant hide in teeny summer clothes!
I love the smells of Christmas. The tree, gingerbread and the crisp fresh smell of snow.
I like winter because I LOVE Christmas, and plus I work for a school district with short summers and longer winter breaks.
Oh, and I should also mention tastfully strung white lights, peppermint mochas, and Christmas carols. They make being cold tolerable

I like baking and drinking hot chocolate. I like snuggling under a warm blanket and reading books (when I have time). I like my kids reactions to the first snow of the season.

(note: I am a us resident living overseas, and would have this item shipped to my mom, who would bring it over to me when she visits next.
I love winter being as that means Christmas. I love that it also means that Coffeemate brings out their peppermint Mocha creamer!
I love the rhapsody one! Of course many of them are cute its hard to choose.
Right now I love hearing my 3 yr old talk about sledding. Today she saw snow on the Olympic mountains and asked if we could go sledding. A little dangerous you think?

I love snuggling together as a family inside when it’s cold outside. And I love the bulky clothes I get to wear that hide my many ‘imperfections’.
I love the pretty snow days! baking and spirit in the city during this time of the year
love lands ends too!
Winter is my favorite season. You can truly enjoy indoors or outdoors if you are dressed for the weather. Also, winter gives you a better appreciation of the warm weather during summer months.
I like winter because it means we are closer to it being spring, summer & fall again
But really – being a fellow-midwest girl – I really do enjoy all the seasons! I love that winter makes it’s OK to curl up under a blanket and waste the day watching movies 
Fireplaces!! Hot chocolate with the kids. And building snowmen if we happen to get a snow (which is usually about every 2 or 3 years). LOVE Land’s End’s stuff.
I love sunny days with gleaming white snow on the ground. It’s so bright and beautiful.
I like that one day of snow we might get in GA!
I love winter – the cold weather, the bundling up, the hot chocolate. And last year we moved into a house that has a fireplace! So winter is just a good excuse to build a fire in the living room.
If I was still in school I would say the best thing about winter is snow days…now that’s I’m an adult the best thing is seeing my kids play in the snow for the first time each season.
I love skiing! The only really good thing about snow and cold!
The absolute stillness that exists after the first big snow is my favorite thing about winter…the stillness.
