It’s no secret that Boston weather can be brutal. When your body is freezing and your spirit is low, there’s a few things you can do to help. Brighten up and warm up on a cold day at Devonshire with these useful tips.

Bake, Bake, Bake

A cold day at Devonshire is the perfect excuse to put your kitchen to use and start baking. Using your oven heats up the whole house. Plus, there’s just something cozy about knowing that there are cookies in the oven or a cake cooling to be iced. See what kind of yummy treats you can create and make your cold day a warmer – and more fun – one.

Cover Your Windows

When you’re cold, you cover up. You put on a sweater. Your windows need the same kind of covering in the winter. Hang heavy wool or fleece drapes over your windows to help keep the Boston cold out. Cover up your windows, snuggle under a fuzzy blanket and spend a cozy day sheltered from the wind. When the sun comes out during the day at Devonshire, open the drapes up and let the sun help warm things back up!

Start Composting

Wait, what? That’s right. Composing isn’t just great for the environment, it’s great for helping keep you warm. If you’ve been interested in starting, you’ve got just another reason to compost. The microbial breakdown of organic material produces heat. Composting is often used to warm greenhouses or even showers, but it can even warm smaller rooms significantly.

You don’t have to let a cold day break your spirits. These helpful tips will help you warm up your home, body and mind. Turn on the Netflix fireplace on your TV for added effect. You might start to love the colder days now that you know how to better stay warm and happy!
