Winter is a wonderful time of the year filled with holidays and fun, but freezing temperatures can make it hard to even step outside. As the winter season approaches, there are several things to do around the house. A few clever tips for staying warm in winter can ensure the whole family will be ready for whatever winter brings!

Double Drapes

Keep the cold out by adding another layer of curtains to the windows, especially if one of those layers is a blackout curtain that is thicker than standard curtains and provides better insulation. Once the sun is up, open the curtains and let the light shine in during the day to capture as much of the free heat as possible. Once the sun goes down, keep all that heat from leaving through the windows by closing the drapes. They’ll prevent some of the warmth in the home from escaping and help the household stay warm in winter.

Do Something Active

Keep as active as possible to boost blood circulation. For example, do a mini dance party in the living room with the kids. Moving around will burn energy inside the body, which gets expelled as heat and it's also a fun activity to stay warm in winter with the family. Move around at least once an hour and avoid sitting still for long periods.

Grab an Apron and Start Baking!

Who's ready to fill their homes with the scent of freshly baked chocolate brownies or scones? Cooking is a great way of staying warm in winter as the heat from the stove or oven travels to other areas of the house.

Also, when the weather turns cooler, people look towards warmer comfort foods and drinks to make them feel better and raise the temperature. Bundle up inside the house with the family, enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate and a tin of butter cookies. Made with an Authentic Danish Recipe, Danisa Butter Cookies has a nice buttery aroma and a perfectly balanced sweetness, making it a perfect companion for a chilly winter night.

Take a Hot Shower or Bath

A hot shower or bath can be enough to get the body warm. The humidity from the steam will make the room stay warm in winter. Leave the bathroom door open after a hot shower or bath, so that humidity spreads to other parts of the home.

It may be tricky to stay warm in winter, but using these tips above will help to keep the family warm inside the house!
