    Door curtains and draft excluders make a huge difference in my drafty home. I hope you're taking as much care of yourself as you take of your dad and son, your family are lucky to have someone as caring as you to look after them. 😊

    There’s an Arctic cold front covering most of the U.S. right now, with more northern states getting really low temps and snow and/or ice storms. Down here in south Louisiana near New Orleans we’re in the middle of four or five days of slightly below freezing or above freezing temps. That’s cold for us, especially since any cold we get is a very damp cold, but we’re supposed to be back up in the 70’s F (about 21 C) by the weekend. We don’t have long, consistent cold temps in winter, which is good because our houses are not built for freezing temps--many are raised and have exposed pipes underneath. When we do get below freezing for 5 or 6 hours we have to let water drip from all faucets--inside as well as outside the house.
    I’m glad you’re bringing your utilities bills down while you keep warm!!!

    Love Attic24 blankets. The annual Crochet Along for the latest blanket starts tomorrow. Brightens up my winter every year.
    I’ve done loads of them. My husband has two full-sized ones and spends most of the day under them. He insists I’m to bury him in them!!!! Not yet I hope….he's not 80 yet!
    I find your content informative, and calm. Long may you continue!

    You are such a kind, caring and resourceful.lady. I love your videos, keeping it all real. My home is currently one big blanket 😂 even got some cheap £4 fleece blankets to put up as my winter "nets" just punched holes in the top with scissors and fed shower curtain hoops through the holes xx

    I love that outfit Lizzy. Blue looks really smart on you!
    The older I get the more I love the cold season. We got one morning of snow here in Amsterdam. Thank goodness I took the dog out so catched it before the rain took it all away. I loved it when my boys were small and I would take them in the cargo bike to school while it was snowing... it felt like a big adventure that didn't cost me anything! Did the 15 years of solo parenting on a very low income... no money for winter sport holidays so felt very blessed when it did snow...😊
    And yes keeping the body warm is very important!!

    Keep warm! I enjoy your videos. I’ve taken up spinning - wool fibre! I’m going to use most of it to crochet blankets. I have one that I crocheted years ago and it’s on my bed and I could do with a couple extra.🐇♥️

    Today, we had 3 snowstorms that lasted 24 hours and produced almost 12 inches of snow. My car is buried under snowfall in front of the house. I'll have to wait a few days to find someone to dig it out.
    Your blankets look like the answer. I have 4 cats who are curled up in baskets or under blankets on the couch. Just like me. I'm also running the space heater.
    I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio, where it is usually very mild. Hopefully, this is it for the year. 🐈 😻
