Here's the truth about me, I really do not mind Winter. I would much rather be cold than hot, but 25 to 30 below wind chills are where I draw the line.

I'm not usually one to complain about my house being too cold, but our decently new furnace is struggling to keep up with these frigid temperatures, and I need help. Off to Google I went, where I came across this video on instructables.com.

I will definitely be putting my ancient, freezer burned ice pops to good use on my thermostat today. Plus, I'm gonna give the whole running the hot shower hack a try so my kids' hair no longer looks like this every time they move.

Apparently it's not just my furnace's thermostat that sucks, the attached humidifier has some issues too.
