This winter is feeling extra long. It’s only February. We have at least another six weeks of winter ahead of us here in the upper midwest. Our daughter keeps asking when we will be able to do fun summer activities again. So, I have been pondering how to make winter more fun for our children (and honestly, for me too!) I decided to put together a winter bucket list for the kids. I thought I would share it with you, in case you and your children are getting cabin fever and need some ideas as well! As a bonus – most of these ideas are free or low cost.

Hi, my name is Asha. I am 34-years-old and am a nurse by profession. Right now I am battling Breast Cancer. My husband and I have been married for 8 years and together we have a sweet seven-year-old daughter, a fun four-year-old son, and a lovable bunny named Caramel. I enjoy spending time with family, taking photographs, scrapbooking, hunting, fishing, cooking and gardening.

Great ideas for some fun winter activities. Baking cookies and building a blanket fort are always a hit with my grandchildren.
