The weather is getting colder and the air is going to get more and more crisp. That’s because it will very soon be officially winter! I love all four seasons – I’m not someone who moans about the cold winds of winter, and I’m certainly not someone who complains about snow. I love it all. In this “winter” issue we are going to look at everything from snowball fights to making life “winter cozy.”
From theartofmanliness.com, we have tips on “How to Make the Perfect Snowball.” Tip #1: You have to start by finding the perfect snow. We’ll share their guidance.
Now, even though it is going to be cold outside, you might want to be warm on the inside. That’s why we are providing you with 21 incredible “cozy winter soups” in “Easy and Delicious Winter Soups.” These are 21 recipes you will want to explore. We include the link where you can get the full recipes for each of these winter-warming soups. From a Tuscan Kale and Bean Soup to a gluten-free Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup – and far more, we’ve got you covered.
We also look at how to “Celebrate Family during the Holidays.” Getting together with the family during the holidays is something we should all be able to look forward to, although at times it can be stressful. In this article we look at the very important and real benefits of gathering with family during the holidays, and frankly, throughout the year. From bonding and creating memories together, your family is very important – no matter whom you include in it.
If you’ve been reading the Gazette the past couple of years, you know I love taking pictures. In this issue, we’re looking at “Winter Photography: Finding the Beauty” to help all of us find those special photos throughout this coming winter season even when everything is covered in a blanket of snow.
And lastly, we’re going to tell you how to focus on “Making Your Bedroom Winter Cozy.” Just because I do love winter, doesn’t mean I’m outside every moment – far from it. When night falls and temperatures plunge, I like to be inside my place and I like it to be “winter cozy.” In this article we have some excellent tips on how to specifically make your bedroom “winter cozy.” It’s not really that complicated, nor expensive to do. Be sure and read this article to find out how to do it.
So there you have it. We hope you are able to stay comfy and cozy as winter comes in, and please join us next time for our final issue of 2024 when we look at Christmastime and also take a quick peek at a Pennsylvania Dutch New Year’s tradition (recipe included). See you then.
