Cozy at Home
So many of us are at home at this time, staying safe by working and teaching our children remotely. But, being at home for long periods of time can result in feelings of cabin fever or even anxiety. Perhaps you’ve invested in updates or improvement projects for your home that you’ve long wished to tackle, or perhaps you’ve created a new cozy nook for your workspace, your children’s learning area, or your reading area.

We’re now entering the season of winter here in the Midwest (as is the norm with our Minnesota seasons, we seemed to have switched from comfortable and beautiful autumn into a six-inch snowfall with little warning). Many of us here in the Midwest spend so much time indoors during this time of year due to the dark, the cold, and the snow (pandemic or no pandemic), and we wanted to share some books, articles, and more to help you make your home the coziest, most wonderful place to spend time, whether alone or with your immediate family and friends (safely, of course! We do ask that you follow all guidelines from the CDC and your state regarding proper mask wearing and social distancing for indoor gatherings).
