Do you need an escape from the cold weather?

The winter season gets the best of us sometimes. With the sun setting earlier and earlier every day, it’s so easy to get in a funk and not want to do anything. So, here are some suggestions to make your home the perfect, warm and comfy escape from the harsh winter weather to snuggle up for the weekend.

First, light some candles. The glow of the candle light will warm any room and the scent will be welcoming to anyone who wants to sit and stay a while.

Speaking of staying a while, invite some friends over. Winter can be lonely at times, especially when being a military family. Invite your friends over to keep each other company!

And while your friends are there, make some winter beverages. Nothing will get you warm quicker than a good Irish coffee and mulled wine! Hot chocolate or hot apple cider is always a good choice as well!

What goes best with a good beverage? A great dessert. Bake your favorite dessert to fill your home with the amazing smells of homemade cookies, pie, cheesecake, whatever your heart (and stomach!) desires. 

Throw in some texture to your decor! Add in some fluffy throws and some cable-knit blankets to your couch. Pair those with some fuzzy pillows and you and your friends will never leave the couch! Except maybe for a refill on your mulled wine…

And lastly, make the ultimate winter movie line-up. You know you can’t beat a cheesy, feel-good Hallmark movie, so pick a few out, throw on your comfiest sweats, get yourself a mug full of Irish coffee and a cookie or two and binge watch away.
