7 Reasons to embrace cooler weather

1. Hot Chocolate – When the temps get chilly, it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy a decadent cup of hot chocolate.

2. Scarves! – Cooler weather means wrapping up in your favorite scarf before you head out.  We think stripes and plaids rule!

3. Reading by the fire – It’s that season again: Light a fire and get snuggly under the blankets with a good book and a latte.

4. Soups & Chili – Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup?  Hearty beef chili?  Nothing goes better with a cool day and PJs…

5. Be a couch potato – We love cooler weather because it’s even more of an excuse to relax on the couch in our jammies. Movie marathon? Pizza delivery? Netflix binge-watch? Mac and cheese and popcorn? Bring it on!

6. Cozy Sweaters – Time to break out our coziest sweaters.  And what the heck, shop for a few new ones. Need we say more?

7. Fall Hikes – Fall weather is perfect for getting bundled up, taking the family out, and exploring the trails. Then come back home and warm up with a hot toddy. #perfectday

Matching Family Pajamas

We’re so excited – we’ve got TONS of new pajamas in matching styles for the whole family, just in time for the upcoming holiday season!

Four of our PJ brands, the beautiful Bedhead, cozy footies from Big Feet & Lazy One, and vintage-inspired FlapJacks – come in sizes to fit your family.  Check out the entire Matching Family Pajamas Collection here!

Kids love to have PJs that match Mom and Dad. It’s also fun to make it a family tradition to hang out in your matching pajamas on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Who knows, you could get inspired like the internet-famous Holderness family, and create a dancing family Christmas card clad in your matching jammies?!

Cozy Pajama Halloween Costumes

We think creating a costume out of pajamas is one of the best ways to enjoy Halloween.

Why?

Well, because whether your going to a party, trick-or-treating, or giving out candy at your door, you get to be dressed up for the occasion while still warm and cozy. Sounds good, right? Think about it – how many costumes have you worn that were uncomfortable or left you freezing cold?

We also love pajama costumes because you can either use PJs you already have, or buy a new pair that you can accessorize and wear for Halloween, and then wear as pajamas later.  How great is that?!

We have SO MANY fun costume ideas for you! Check out our round up here:

The Cycling Ladies

We’re loving these photos shared by one of our customers:

These eleven strong women, ages 35 to 61, mostly from Greenville, SC went on a “chick trip” to cycle the mountains of Southern France. These ‘cols’, as they are called in Europe, are the famous climbs that cycling pros climb in the Tour de France.  Go ladies!!!

Here they all are, having fun and getting cozy in their comfortable “Bicycle” pajamas after a day of riding and a shower…

How to make a yummy latte at home

We’re pretty serious about our coffee around here. Have you ever seen our “Coffee all Day” Pinterest page?

With the shift into fall and October, we’re declaring it officially latte season!

The cool thing is that you don’t need any fancy tools to make a yummy latte right at home. You can use your regular coffee maker and your microwave to whip one up.

And just think, with all the money you save not buying expensive coffee house drinks, you can splurge on a new pair of PJs or two, right?!

Here’s how to make a delicious home made latte:

1. Brew the Coffee.

If you have an espresso machine or pot, by all means use it. If not, brew some strong coffee with your basic drip coffee maker.

2. Froth & Steam the Milk.

Take a mason jar and fill it halfway with milk. Put the top on and shake vigorously for about a minute. The idea is to create more volume to the milk. Take the cover off the jar and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

3. Make your latte!

Pour the warm milk into your favorite mug, as much as you like. If you want to add a flavor syrup – pumpkin spice, vanilla – add it now to your milk and stir gently. Last, add the espresso or strong coffee.

And there you have it, an at-home latte. Drink & enjoy!
