During the winter months, parents often find themselves searching for engaging activities to keep their children entertained, even in regions with milder climates. Here are some suggestions to help alleviate cabin fever. Embrace traditional outdoor winter pastimes such as sledding, ice skating, and brisk hikes, or opt for indoor pursuits like meditation, DIY pedicures, and reminiscing over old baby photos with the kids.
