-If your tent is small like ours (I camp in a hammock), we put the kids in the tent together since children have less fat reserves than adults to burn for warmth. Having them in a small contained space inside the central room of the house surrounded by adults and body heat helps them stay toasty.

-Adding an extra layer of clothes 15 minutes before bed will Warm your body and trap heat in your sleeping area

For family members 2+ years old

-In the family hotpocket, stuff empty spaces with fleece blankets. Concentrate on the areas around your mid section and your feet for maximum warmth.

-Wear head coverings like hats.

-If you can fit your family hotpocket in a tent inside the most interior room in your home, do that

-Zip infants into those cute snow suits that make them look like starfish

-Make sure they aren't in danger of suffocating by placing them in their own space nearby

-playpens work or even move their crib into the central room.

-Make sure they don't get too hot

Gather your camping gear-

-If you have camping gear (sleeping bags, even tents) bring them inside from the garage or out of the attic before the power goes out

-Hit the camping aisle at the store for comfort items like hot hands and feet warmers

-If you lose power, make a giant hotpocket/pita out of your sleeping bags zipped together and pack your family in (not babies, see below)

Tips to get through-

-Stock up on cold edible foods w/dense nutrients like good lunch meat, cheese and whole wheat bread

-Pre-Cook chicken and shred for chicken salad sandwiches

-Pre-Boil eggs

-Mixing ranch with boiled eggs or shredded chicken is an easy way to make chicken/egg salad sandwiches in a pinch. I know y'all have ranch.

In February 21st the Texas powergrid went down. We were w/o power for 36 hrs, then had power for 3, then down another 36.

The grid is in danger Thursday and Friday, so I'm sharing what I learned from last time AND what I know from cold weather camping.

Be mindful of Carbon Monoxide dangers such as running your car in the garage for warmth and using grills inside the house.

Just a reminder as gift buying season begins that I am a published picture book author whose book can be purchased from many bookstores worldwide. My book features sisters, stars, cartwheels, and cousins! What's not to love? Bilingual Spanish/English edition now available!

15 has figured out how to use the firestick to put his movie directly in his earbud. 1-I'm excited to use this later so maybe I can watch a movie without being glued to the CC
2-the utter lack of background noise while I'm working is AH-Mazing.

I'm kinda liking how my home timeline is ONLY people I follow. It's so much more manageable to be able to click other options instead of being bombarded right as I open Mastodon. I think that might be my favorite feature so far.

Oh wait, I also love how CWs actually hide the thing I don't want to see.
