If you live in the Midwest like I do, you know winter isn’t exactly winning any "favorite season" contests.

Especially when you have little ones. (Trust me, I’d know!)

The days feel long when it’s too cold to go outside, the thermostat barely budges above freezing, and darkness falls by 5:00 p.m.

Winter. Sigh. It’s the season that dares us to slow down and find beauty in stillness—a challenge that’s not always easy to embrace.

I’ll admit it: there have been moments I’ve downright loathed winter. Dreamed of warm beaches, golden sunshine, and fast-forwarding straight to spring.

But then…

Twinkle lights. ✨

Board games around the kitchen table.

Mornings baking cookies with the kids.

Snuggling under your coziest blanket.

Hot chocolate. Books. Soup.

Winter brings its own kind of magic—little moments that feel even more special because of the cold days and long nights. And honestly? If winter disappeared, I’d miss those cozy joys. (Especially the soup!!! 🍲)

Winter invites us to slow down. To stay home. To savor the small comforts that make a house feel like home sweet home.

And if I’m going to be spending a lot more time indoors until March? You better believe I’m leaning into all things cozy.

So, with that in mind, I’m sharing 5 of my must-have cozy favorites to help you love winter just a little more this season:

❄️ 1. Cozy Blankets ❄️

If there’s one thing I cannot live without during winter, it’s a cozy blanket. Picture this: It’s snowing outside, you’re cuddled on the couch, and you’ve got a warm drink in hand—all wrapped up in the softest, warmest blanket imaginable.

Our blankets are pretty, inviting, machine-washable, and so soft it’s like being hugged by a cloud. Imagine curling up with one while snowflakes fall outside or wrapping it around yourself during a family movie night—pure winter bliss! Bonus? They even come with a cute carrying bag, so you can take them on road trips!

(Fun fact: I have one draped over my lap right now as I write this! 😊)


 2. Casserole & Baking Dish Covers 

Is there anything better than a bubbling casserole fresh out of the oven on a cold winter day? (Answer: No.)

Our casserole and baking dish covers add a cute and cozy touch to your kitchen. They keep leftovers fresh and make it easy to deliver a homemade dish to a friend. They’re machine washable, reusable, and totally adorable.

Bonus Recipe Alert! Last week, I made this casserole for my family, and it was a hit! 


☕️ 3. Mugs ☕️

Is there anything better than wrapping your hands around a warm mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate when it’s freezing outside? I don’t think so!

Our mugs are thoughtfully designed with hand-lettered quotes to brighten your day. Even on the gloomiest, snowiest mornings, your favorite mug has a way of warming your heart and your hands.

(Trust me—it’s the little things that make winter sparkle.)


 4. Bowl Besties 

Have you ever burned your hands (or your lap!) trying to eat soup or a warm dessert on the couch? Enter: Bowl Besties.

These adorable little bowl holders let you enjoy your favorite winter comfort foods—without sacrificing your lap to the heat. Perfect for couch snuggles, movie nights, or even reheating leftovers!

They’re cute. They’re practical. They’re a winter essential.


🍷 5. Hoodies 🍷

Let’s be real: Winter is the season of oversized hoodies, and we are here for it. Our hoodies are cozy, soft, and roomy—everything you need to survive a chilly day with style and comfort.

I’ve had customers tell me they’re the best hoodies they’ve ever owned, and honestly? I have to agree.

If we’re going to live in hoodies all winter long, we might as well make them the comfiest ones out there.
