WELCOME TO WINTER HOMEMAKING!
Welcome to Winter Homemaking! This cosy corner of my website has plenty of tips and ideas to help you enjoy and simplify winter at home, in your schedule and in life.
For many of us, the months of December, January and February are darker and colder. The nights draw in earlier in the evenings and we hunker down to stay cosy and warm.
I’ve collected together some of my favourite Winter articles and tips to help you declutter your home and get ready before the Christmas chaos begins.
There are also lots of tips to help you reflect on the year just gone and start to make plans for the New Year so you can start that year with intention and purpose. Whether it’s an end-of-year review, reflecting on this year’s memories or setting goals for the coming year, I hope you’ll find some ideas to try!

Paul Theroux
