Are you cold yet? I can only imagine how frigid it has been in colder areas up north, no thanks! It’s a little more mild in San Diego, but we, too, have those days where we’d rather stay indoors. In order to keep the kids from going stir crazy, I’ve created a fun and cozy atmosphere at home by starting up our fireplace and preparing our plan of action!

We have built forts out of boxes and blankets and letting them help prepare meals
My kids are teenagers but my younger one still loves projects, just more sophisticated. He made a watering station for our cats from a recycled water bottle and old fountain pump. He loves to paint also, so we bought canvas and paint from Michaels and I have hung some of his art work!
We make eatable crating.
This year for Christmas I bought alot of arts and crafts for my grandkids. We are making snow globes for Valentine’s right now.
We like to finger paint with pudding.
I’ve kept my kids busy with books, crafts, a little tablet time, letting them help me in the kitchen.
Thanks for the chance.
We drink hot chocolate and watch movies or play board games.
We like to color pictures and mail them to family and friends.
I did visit Glade online and I would like the Hawaiian Breeze® melts. To keep my kids busy we always had board games, a kids standing art easel with plenty of paints, markers, and chalks. My youngest of 6 are teens now…but funny the board games STILL come out for all of us, and now movies together. The trick is to get something to do TOGETHER! It’s a long time here in Wisconsin to be shut in for months. Activities are a MUST!
