I have always hated the brutal cold of winter.
I consider myself to be more sensitive to the cold than most people, so winter is one of my least favorite seasons of the year.
Living in the midwest, I have been exposed to many winter storms and cold weather. It even seems that winter hinders my routine, as I just do not want to get out of the warmth of my bed on some days. Last year, my husband asked if I would be interested in heated floors in our master bathroom to make it easier to get ready in the mornings. At first, I thought this idea was a bit extreme. I did not think that this kind of upgrade was truly necessary, and I was concerned about the cost. My husband explained that he thought the cost would be worth the benefits, and that I would actually benefit from the time I saved getting ready in the mornings. I finally agreed and decided that we would give heated floors a try. The first morning after installation, I did my normal routine of hitting the snooze button a few times before making my way to the bathroom to get ready for the day. When I stepped on the heated floors, I instantly knew that my husband was right about this investment. I felt much more comfortable than I ever had before, and I think I cut a few minutes off of my normal time to get ready. I no longer had to shiver through getting ready for the day, but could comfortably enjoy my morning routine.
