Maintaining a Sense of Warmth and Calm in Your Home by Christie Hubble

Our home is a reflection of us. We are busy, vibrant women living in a world that is always trying to draw us to the next best thing. The newest technology, the updated home accessories, and it can be hard to keep up if that is where our focus is. Our home is more than a house with fanciful things, it is home to our family. The place to let down the burdens of the day and get cozy, to restore, and nurture ourselves and one another. Where friends come to gather and share stories and laughter while dining or grazing.

How can you maintain a sense of warmth and calm during the upcoming season? A time when events and gatherings increase. Here are a few tips:

Bring in warm essential oil scents. Our nose knows! Step inside and be enveloped by the aroma of cinnamon, juniper, or berries. I honestly love to simmer apple peels, cinnamon, and ginger on the back burner.
Have a basket with slippers in a variety of sizes for your guests to wear, slip a few light weight blankets over the dining chairs, and heavier blankets in the lounging areas.
A variety of herbal teas to offer, warming and nourishing for the body.
Host a “soupport” meal with close friends. Enjoy a simple meal of soup and fresh bread or salad. Instead of the food being the focus, the conversation becomes the main focus.
Enjoy crafting, working on a puzzle, or a cooperative game to engage with one another.

It is my hope that when life gets a bit crazy that my home is able to be a safe haven for my family and friends. Knowing that restoring calm and embracing warmth is possible. I would love to know how you create warmth and calm in your home.

In wellness and love,
