I tried not to cry when temperatures here dipped down to -30 degrees Celsius {-46 with the wind chill} this past week and instead broke out the fuzzy socks, pulled on the long underwear and of course consumed mass amounts of hot chocolate! :)

-30°C!!! I can imagine that! It's really not the same weather of your tropical island! Love your shot...
I do not miss the cold temperatures of Canada either. But I do miss the beauty of it. That hot chocolate looks so good!!
Ahhhhhh ... cocoa. Truly a simple pleasure.
Thanks for hosting The Simple Things.

Those marshmallows look very inviting. :)
Coming from Australia, I can't imagine living in temperatures that cold. I think Hot Chocolate was your only option, Rebecca. LOL!
Hey, only four more months til Spring! Hang in there. :)
We have very nice weather here in Finland now - -5C and lots of snow! Kids are happy! :)
Oh, my goodness! Now that's cold.
LOVE that sweater, Rebecca!
Oh my goodness- I can't imaging what that would be like to go from one extreme to the other like that. I know the warm drinks would sure be in abundance if it were me. Beautiful, beautiful shots!
Wowza!!! That is COLD! I couldn't even imagine.
I live in Houston and our temps are in the 70's.
I love colder weather though- I'd trade places with you! lol
:)

Love both your shots :) That mug is so pretty!
Oh I can so relate!!! Although my move hasn't been nearly as extreme as yours. This is my first time living in snow conditions and boy is it crazy! Good luck as you re-adjust.
Brrrrr! Spring is just around the corner...right?!?!?
Thank you for hosting!

Oh man that is freezing! That hot chocolate looks amazing though... and that would never work in the tropics.
Love the photo of you with that big cup and your delicate hands, so beautiful. Happy Sunday.
Mmmm! Loving all those marshmallows!
Oh my, I think I would have to get one those day light lamps. Or I would be very moody in those temps.
hot chocolate and marshmallows are my favorite! great pic.
sorry for my double entry. if you're able to delete one i would appreciate it:)
I'm excited about this; I just found your blog last night after downloading your "50 things" lists. Super fun idea! I've added your blog to my daily list of blogs to read and look forward to checking back often! Your simple things Sunday posts are inspiring...I'm going to do one as well! Thanks!
Rebecca, I love the photo you posted today and can feel your hands warming up around the mug of hot chocolate :o). (I love the grey & yellow colour combo!) But, oh.my.goodness! I hope the weather warms up a bit for you soon! xx
I could not imagine leaving the warmth of a tropical island. Especially to return to cold chilly temps. Maybe it wont last to long and hubs can get a job somewhere else warm.
oh my! -46! EW! I would cry... This is why I live in the South. I don't do well with temps below 60! I need my sweet tea, a/c and Southern food :)
Love hot cocoa on super cold days! It has been 18 degrees here this week so we have also been drinking cocoa!
Sorry about my link don't know why it posted 3 times! Didn't know how to delete it either:(
mmmm....love me some hot cocoa...especially with marshmallows! :) we always have quite mild winters here...and i haven't been able to enjoy as much hot cocoa as i would have liked. :) keep warm!
@Gina Kleinworth thanks so much Gina! :)

If you like my blog, I'd love it if you followed me back! :) Cath from Home is Where my Heart is http://cathhasablog.blogspot.com/
Ahhh, warm hot chocolate on such cold days is such a simple and wonderful joy. I wondered how you would fair the return to Canada after such tropical weather. I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back . . . but I'm here too . . .such is life. We do what we need to do. Stay warm
PS where is the linky thing?
Brrrr! Your making me cold! I'm joining in to play. Great little blog you have here. A bit chilly but the hot chocolate is keeping me warm. :)
Ah yes, hot chocolate will cure a great many things ;)
Love your beautiful photos!!
We just moved from California to Virginia. While it's not as cold here as it is in Canada, I'm definitely feeling the temperature difference. All I can say is thank goodness for hot chocolate and heating packs!
you have had a lot of change recently! love your images as always! xoxo
Oops...I posted twice, too.
Cocoa on a cold day is definitely one of the best of the simple things in life! Love the shots!
Any chance you're in/near Winnipeg? That sounds about like what we had here last week.
love that first "selfie" shot! Looks so comforting. :)
Opps, just realized I linked up twice. i tried last night but I didn't think it worked. I just noticed I'm on there twice, sorry ;-)
