5 Tips for Surviving Winter
I’ll never forget walking into my Swedish neighbor’s house on a gloomy, rainy day. There were lanterns lit on the porch, the kitchen was overflowing with baked goods and fresh cups of coffee and tea, geraniums were blooming in the windows, and little candles were scattered throughout the house. It wasn’t a holiday party, it was just a normal winter day. You see, the Swedes make every effort to make winter a cozy experience. You’ll find lanterns sitting outside shops (even convenience stores!) all winter long. Here are a few tips I picked up from the Swedes and a few habits I’ve tried to get into to make winter a little less daunting. (Photo: Lisa Warninger)
