The cold and rain seems to be endless this year! And if there is anything these past couple of years have taught us, it’s that being stuck in the house with our kids for days isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. We can only be entertainment directors for so long. If you are anything like me, you get stuck on finding ideas to keep them entertained in indoor spaces.
Some suggestions below are new discoveries for our family, while others are tried-and-true spots for indoor fun!
