A few Decembers ago, after watching a mom and her twin toddler girls bundle up and take a walk outside in the cold rain (while one of the tots gleefully pushed along a doll stroller), I came to realize that The Great Outdoors is very all seasons! Hiding indoors for 3 months (or actually less, since our area doesn’t really get a true winter) is not the plan. Bikes can be ridden, walks can be taken, and fun can be had outdoors, in any weather, with just a bit of preparation. Here are some tips to help you and your family get outside, embrace the cold, and make the most of the winter season!

A hobby can be a total game-changer for moms, especially when life feels like a juggling act! Do you have one? If not, no worries—I’ve got the perfect guide to help you find one (or maybe even a few!) that’ll make your heart sing.

Picture this: it’s your day off (or whatever "off" looks like in your busy world), and you’re not groaning about the chores ahead. Instead, you’re grinning from ear to ear, saying, “Hooray! Today is the day I get to dive into my hobby!" Or maybe, you're looking forward to the quiet of the evening and thinking, "I can't wait to get the kids in bed so I can finally enjoy my passion!" That’s the magic of the right hobby—it becomes your happy place, so absorbing that you might even forget the clock ticking away.
