As winter begins its descent into spring and we begin to plan our family vacations, we would like to provide you with some helpful energy saving tips for the tail end of these cold days.

  • Take advantage of the sun during the day and open the curtains to allow natural light and heat to enter
  • Set the thermostat to the lowest temperature that you can tolerate and only increase heat when you go to sleep to save on your heating bill
  • Layer clothing and use weighted blankets to stay warm instead of running heating system
  • Use blackout curtains to help block the flow of cold air from entering your home

Family Fun Ideas for Winter

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Is it too cold to go outside? We have some suggestions that’ll let you enjoy the winter season while staying indoors.

If you have little ones to entertain and keep busy, try baking cookies and letting them decorate to show off their creativity. Build forts with blankets and pillows for an unforgettable fun time.

Challenge them to complete a puzzle or work on their board game expertise.

If it’s just you and your better half, we say take it easy with a movie marathon and popcorn.

Movies aren’t your thing? Test your culinary skills by creating a meal with only the items in your pantry. And there is always the option of playing music and tackling the house cleaning with some dance moves. Whatever you choose, stay warm and let us know your cold weather ideas.
