The saying is definitely true, March has come in like a lion and I hope it goes out like a lamb. Although March 20th was supposed to be the first day of spring, we had a surprise snow shower last week and have even experienced some extremely chilly mornings. My boys already want to wear hoodies to school but I keep telling them that the weather is still pretty cold and they have to keep wearing their coats until Mother Nature decides to warm us up.
Our house is very drafty so I have been especially cold in the afternoon when I get home from work. Aside from the air conditioner unit that we have in the wall which lets in a lot of cold air, our windows are pretty old so they also allow a lot of cold to seep in from outside. I’ve been telling my husband for a long time that we needed to get some kind of a portable heater to keep the house warm in between when the boiler goes on and off.
I have fallen in love with the Honeywell MyEnergySmart® Infrared Heater. The heater’s sleek, modern design fits any home décor and revolutionary Infrared Technology provides safe, comforting warmth while providing energy efficient heating. The MYEnergySmart® model includes energy-saving controls that can lower energy bills by up to 35 percent for increased cost-efficiency. That is music to my ears, it is compact and will help me keep my utility bill costs down all year long.
If you have ever found yourself layering your clothes while indoors in an effort to keep heating costs down? You’re not alone – Meet the Bundles, a family that thought layering clothing was their only option to stay warm in freezing temperatures while simultaneously keeping energy bills down. Now, thanks to Honeywell and the new Honeywell MyEnergySmart Infrared Whole Room Heater
, they’ve learned that creating a warm, energy efficient house is not as difficult as they thought and you will too!

I use my amazing heating pad to stay warm in the evenings and in bed! I have had several, but recently found The One, and I love it. It keeps me warm and comfy while my husband stays comfortable with the heat lower.
I love to wear soft comfortable layers of clothing, especially fuzzy socks.
I dress warmly for the cool weather and it never hurts to have a sweater handy. I enjoy a cup of hot coffee to keep the chill away in the morning. I hope it warms up soon. 🙂
I try to stay warm by dressing in layers so as the weather gets nicer, you can just take a layer off. We also have throws on the couches so that you can just wrap yourself up if you get a chill.
We stay warm by wearing plenty of layers of clothing. You can always take them off as the day warms up!
I bundle up on the couch with a fluffy fleeze blankie. When it’s really cold I wear my sweats to bed.
I wear heavy sweaters or sweatshirts during the day. At night I wrap a warm blanket around me when watching TV.

We keep warm by dressing in layers, even in the house. We also have throws on our sofa and scarves hanging about for anyone who feels a bit chilled.
I use a personal heater to help take the chill off in my office. I like Ceramic heaters because the outside of the heater does not get hot and it heats up my bedroom really fast!
We wear lots and lots of layers, hoodies, socks, scarves, hats to keep warm I also invest in a big quilt, blanket for each bed that we have in the house and put them on at night.
I dress in layers to keep warm during those chilly spring morning and evening!
I wear hoodies or sweaters around the house and cover up with a blanket when I sit in my chair watching TV.
I really dislike putting my heat on when the weather is slightly warmer in the Spring. I try to wear a hoodie or light jacket in the house and open the blinds to let the sun in and that usually warms me up.
We make sure we have good weather stripping around the windows and doors. Also, it’s always good to dress in layers. Sometimes I wear a sweater to bed. Spring weather is so changeable here – 30 degrees one day, 70 the next!
I stay warm by piling on the layers. Lots of layers!
During the transition I often wear a light jacket to stay warm and sometimes a space heater.

I wear longjohns under my clothes and wear thick socks.
I wear layers and use a comfy Throw.
We’re fortunate to have a fireplace in our main room that we are still using to keep the chill off. But this would be great for the basement playroom!
How do I keep warm in the daytime when the building lowers the heat and it gets cold in here–like today? Let me see–I am wearing heavy sweatpants and a heavy sweatshirt AND a heavy terry full length robe! And I mustn’t forget the socks!! I could certainly use that heater in my bedroom to keep me warm without a doubt.
We have a quilt rack in our family room that is stacked full of personal size quilts. We each grab one to cover up with before we sit down for the evening.
I sit under my heated electric throw blanket all day long on my couch and then when I go to bed at night, I sleep under my heated electric blanket 🙂
We layer on clothing. Winter really doesn’t end here until June. Ha Ha. It seems that way. We keep on our furnace until the end of April.
My nanny and grampa have something very similar to this and they love it! They get cold very easily so they like to be able to have a heater close by.
I guess I try to keep warm (in those winter to spring times) mainly by bundling up with layers and blankets. I am a major blanket person – love snuggling with them! Space heaters make a lot of sense to reduce your costs and keep warm! Cant wait for summer!
Living in South Florida, our Spring feels more like Summer! I cannot believe it’s already been over 90 degrees this year, I wish we had a tad more cold weather this year!
I turn on the heat.
We could totally use this downstairs in the basement.
It’s frightfully cold down there and even worse at night.

At this very moment, I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop. I have on a tank top, thermal shirt, sweatshirt, and zippered hoodie. And a fleece blanket on my lap, too. It’s cold out–and it’s none too warm inside, either. The layering really helps.
I could use this right about now! 7 inches of snow and counting! I thought it was supposed to be spring!!!
I stay chilly so this would be perfect for me !!
Oh man I need this! My girls room gets cold, cold, cold in the winter! Drives me crazy!

I carry a lot of hand warmers in my pockets.
I love Honeywell products. I haven’t tried this one, but I’m always cold in our drafty house so I need to find one of them!!
The heating on my home is awesome and I’ve never really had to use a heater but I know if I ever need a portable on the one that I’m going to get. Honeywell has always made great products so I know it won’t let me down.
After a cold snowy winter I hardly notice a spring chill. Actually, now that I think about it, I am still using the small space heater in my office.
I dress in layers and bundle in gloves and an ear covering headband if I am going to be outside!
We spend a lot of time snuggling under throw blankets!
I am constantly taking my hoodie/jacket off and on during this season. I also get really cold in the family room, which is in the ground technically, and this would be a perfect solution to keep us warm.

I make sure to wear my cozy socks around the house, and we always have blankets near by! Never know when we’re going to get a chilly day!
I wear sweatshirts longer than one would expect, since the house is cool–sometimes have to change to a lighter shirt, but not often. Sweaters, and if cold enough, turn on a heater for just my room.
I cuddle up with warm soft blankets, and drink hot tea.

We dress accordingly, and try to find drafts coming in the house to stop them if we can! We try to close off rooms we are not using. This would be wonderful for our family room that is always colder.

I like to do some cooking and baking which always helps heating up the house.
