Stay Cozy This Winter ❄❄|❄❄ A list of ideas to stay cozy

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.

    I'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.
    Thanks bunches for sharing with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend. 🤗

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is hit and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our featur...
