Create meals using your Crockpot
I love using my Instant Pot to explore new recipes, especially during the colder months. From delicious stews to chili and soups, there's always something new to try.

Create warm drink recipes
A few favorites-- Simple Herbal Spice Tea Recipe and Warm citrus tea
Explore hot cocoa, tea, and coffee recipes. I also love tea delivery right to my front door. If you have time, check out Atlas Tea Club and Sipsby Tea. I was very fortunate to sample tea from both tea companies, and I loved the tea I received!

Create a blanket basket
I enjoy making blanket baskets in various rooms of my home. All I do is grab a basket and fill it with a few throws, including some lighter ones and an electric blanket. This way, there's always a cozy blanket within reach no matter where you are in the house.

Decorate your coffee/tea bar
If you have a coffee bar or tea bar, this is a great way to make it feel cozier for the season. I normally change the décor and theme for each season. During the winter, I love displaying a few winter-themed mugs. You can add a few snowflake lights or even handmade snowflake garlands. It is such a fun and creative way to decorate that space.

Create a cozy sock basket
I love creating sock baskets for my girls. They have a lot of thick and fuzzy fun socks. We take those socks and fill the basket with them. This is great since it is easier to access these socks, and you can place them right next to your bed or nightstand.

Create a cozy reading space
Fill a space with pillows and blankets. Add a few string lights, and you have yourself a cute and cozy reading space. You can also use a bin or basket to keep your books or other reading devices in one spot.

Take some time to journal
I think journaling is a great way to express yourself, and I just have that time to be in the moment. I shared a few journal ideas on my blog.

I like having my cozy socks handy, too. I even keep a pair close to where I sit and watch TV.

Laurie, thank you for stopping by. 😊
DeleteI'm a coffee drinker I'm down to just mornings now. Lol. But I do enjoy hot tea in the evenings. I checked out the tea links you shared and am definitely going to check those companies out further. I enjoy trying out different Tea flavors though I've got to tell you I'm not a fan of spices teas. Lol.
