Mommy’s Moment List of Things-To-Do This Winter

  |     |   Community Events, Just for Fun

By Leean Sack

There is a chill in air… We all know what is coming, love it or hate it….Winter! 

I’m already thinking to myself, “How am I going to survive this winter with 2 very active toddlers without going completely stir crazy?” I usually hit the hibernation button and call it till Spring, but I must take the bull by the horns with this one. I’m not a fan of winter but perhaps the twins will convince me otherwise.

With the colder weather sometimes comes struggles with isolation, loneliness, boredom and depression. Be proactive; make a plan for this winter; be prepared; get out there if you can. Not all mommies enjoy the cold and snow but there are plenty of things to do to keep you out and about this winter. So, whether you are that outdoor sledding kind of mom or stay inside where its warm kind of mom, plenty of options and opportunities to have those moments, Mommy Moments.

Here are a few options that I will be checking out — check out the websites for more info on the different programs they have to offer.
