Let's face it. So many of us are sick of staying indoors. A lot of businesses are operating normally in my area. Plenty of people also are vaccinated or wearing masks. Social distancing is encouraged I notice when I visit stores and restaurants.

During the winter months I just prefer to stay in a lot more. Not just because it is cold; I homeschool, there are less outdoor play dates and I stay busier with work from home. I guess I am hustling more since holidays are approaching and I have quite a bit of family and friends birthdays during the winter. With all of that going on; I enjoy being at home as much as I can when Fall ends. I like my alone time then I suppose...I appreciate it more so.

When you are a mom...you do not get off days. I am lucky enough to have some help with family but we have learned to enjoy being happy at home a lot now. My son actually asks to stay home when I try to encourage him to go places or get out sometimes. He has plenty of toys, coloring books, board games and movies to watch.

Outschool has plenty of classes for children

He loves gaming so I find a lot of outside activities so he is not always on the ipad. He does sports, play with friends and we go to parks a lot. When we are at home; he honestly loves climbing. I seen so many moms talking about cool toys where kiddos can make forts, lounge on and play with. Children can get so creative with some things! I love how their minds work; it is adorable.

Staying indoors saves money and a lot of us have made the best of it with the pandemic going on. Here is a list of indoor activities to help keep your little ones occupied indoors. KidPass has many virtual activities and classes.

Tinkergarten classes are great for children to explore nature

My son is actually very much so a homebody. I can be too during winter months in fact. There are always indoor pools to visit or board games to do at home. I enjoy fine dining during my free time but sometimes I just do not want to leave home.

Cooking is also a nice idea to bond with your family from the comfort of your own home. Plus; your children can learn some life and math skills while you do it. Check out this super cool kitchen item for parents and children to use
