Top 5 Winter Things

Share the goods.

‘Tis the season for some of 8THIRTYFOUR’s favorite things. Whether it be food, drinks or activities, we’ve rounded out our top five trending topics in our office for you this wintertime. Sit back with some hot cocoa and Baileys (#3) and read on to see what makes our team members jolly this season.

#5: CHEESY HOLIDAY MOVES

Whether you’d like to admit it or not, everyone has a soft spot for those low-budget cheesy holiday movies with recycled storylines that will inevitably have you crying tears of happiness when Jason gives up his acting career after falling in love with his old next door neighbor while he was home for the holidays…or something along those lines.

#4: SNOWBOARDING

We love taking a weekend in the winter to go to one of the many nearby ski resorts in Michigan. There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline you get from snowboarding down a hill. There’s also nothing quite like rewarding yourself with a beer with close friends after a fun day on the slopes. 

#3: HOT COCOA AND BAILEYS

One of our staple wintertime drinks is hot cocoa mixed with Baileys. It’s warm, creamy, chocolate-y, and has just the right amount of sweetness. Cue remote-controlled fireplace and cozy blanket, please. 

#2: HOMEMADE PUPPY CHOW

Obviously, we are putting an emphasis on the homemade part. The winter season is not complete without a batch of this yummy, sugary snack in the 8THIRTYFOUR office. We’re even eating it as we type this blog.

#1: BUFFALO PLAID

What is a winter without buffalo plaid? Our founder, Kim Bode, rounds out our top five favorite things with her personal favorite for the season. You can find her sporting this print, as well as our office décor, from November through January.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: We took a walk to one of the houses @bodespeaks lived in Creston. There were 3 total. We also got a history lesson of @crestongr along the way. Of course we had to take Joey too.

This is why we do what we do. Most women business owners are left to navigate business ownership alone, juggling hiring, cash flow, and strategy while trying to keep the lights on. It’s overwhelming and it’s lonely.

The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship is designed to change that. It’s an intentionally small cohort because real support doesn’t happen in a crowded room. Participants will receive the support they’ve been missing, and the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to scale - all guided by people who have built and grown businesses themselves.

If you’re a second-stage business owner ready to grow, this program is for you. Applications close on September 15.
