Cozy Comforts and Real-Life Sanity Savers for Winter

Winter has arrived with a bang here on the farm—frosty mornings, short days, and that bone-deep cold that makes everything feel just a little bit harder. But this year, it feels a little easier than it has in the past. I think that’s because I’ve been paying attention to the small things—the simple comforts and routines that are helping me stay grounded and get through this season with a bit more ease.

In this episode, I’m sharing the five things that are helping me through this cold farm winter. These aren’t big, fancy solutions—they’re real, everyday things like the slow cooker bubbling away in the kitchen, a crackling fire (even if I forget to keep it going), warm clothes from the dryer, and the moments I get to be present for my boys, whether it's at the library or the sidelines of their footy games.

I also chat about how this winter feels different—how the cold set in fast, but my routines and rhythms are making all the difference.

Whether you’re a rural woman navigating a busy farm season or a mum just trying to keep the house warm and the kids fed, I hope this episode encourages you to take a moment and notice what’s helping you get through the season too.

In this episode I share:

  • Why the slow cooker is my best friend right now (and how I keep it super simple)
  • A funny story about trying—and failing—to keep the fire going on my own
  • The pride I feel watching my boys become readers and our weekly library rhythm
  • Why I finally built a backyard fire pit and how it’s getting us outside more
  • What it’s like showing up for winter sport when you don’t know all the rules
  • How good routines are helping me feel more motivated this winter

I’d love to know—what little things are getting you through winter right now? Come say hi on Instagram @groundedfarmwife and share your winter comforts with me.
