my kids love warm oats in the morning with chopped banana on top and hearty warm stews and soups for dinner during the colder months.

Get active and chase the kids around outside while the slow cooker does its job in the kitchen. Then enjoy the warming hearty meal, a hottish bath, then toasty under the blankets in bed!

Lots of hot nutricious soups ready on the stove or in the freezer,wearing beanies on our heads,keeping the fire stoked,and wool quilts in our beds keeps our family toasty.

Lots and lots of cuddles!

My tip for keeping my family warm this Winter has been purchasing many pairs of socks and thermal shirts, so even if it’s wet out, there’s still plenty of socks and shirts to keep the little ones warm.

I keep my family warm with lots of soups, stews and casseroles but my recipes are getting a bit old so i’d love new ones.

Straight out of the shower we put socks on our feet and tie our dressing gowns around our bellies.

Snuggles on the lounge together

Snuggle time under a blanket watching a movie with hot chocolate for everyone.

I cook up warm delicious meals, full of chilli to keep our insides nice and toasty warm, for the outside we give plenty of cuddles and can not go past the good old hot water bottle to keep your tootsies warm at night!

Filling their tums with gorgeous meals that have been slowly cooked all day which also works as a heater, warming the house at the same time. Bon Appetite.

I’m keeping my family warm this winter by using the dryer at night on rainy days when the washing can’t be hung on the line to dry. The heat from the dryer is warming the air and I don’t have to put the heater on so I’m saving money on electricity!

Nothing beats a slow cooked casserole that has been cooking all day. The smell that you encounter before you unlock the front door is amazing and you long for when you sit down for the family meal.

my tip is cooking beautifu hearty food that not only tastes delicious but tastes like winter, keeping us nice and warm through the winter months!

Lots of hearty stews and soups, my Families favourite is Split Pea and Ham, that I make with a ham hock on the stove top for hours. Extra Blankets on the beds and throw rugs on the lounge to snuggle up under with my girls 🙂

Family Breakfast! – Start the day with a big pot of steaming porridge with golden syrup, brown sugar, milk or greek yoghurt! When you are full of energy it’s easy to keep warm!

omg a very very yummy full sized quiche home made

To keep the family warm this winter, you should all hop into the one bed and cuddle up!

Hearty meals for hubby and plenty of mummy cuddles for my baby 🙂

hot water bottles save power and keep my family warm this year
