The kids put on their swimming suits, we lay beach towels on the bathroom floor, fill up the bathtub, and turn on The Beach Boys greatest hits super loud! Sometimes we add a beach ball or goggles to the mix as well. It's a blast! Great cabin fever blaster! I love the tips you shared! It makes me want to think of other great things to do from November to March! Could I add too that one of our favorite winter activities is to have an indoor beach party?

We (the toddler and I) are both still in PJs. And then will go out side and then I'll set the timer and do some chores. These are all tricks I myself have used, but it is good to get a reminder sometimes! Great post! Sounds like I need to go take a shower and get dressed! We (the toddler and I) are both still in PJs.

Once I'm started, I'm pretty good about even tackling several bigger chores. It's that first step. Is there such as thing as reverse SAD? I'm okay until high summer, when direct sunlight seems to suck the life out of me. Happens every summer, no matter if I'm in an airconditioned house or not!

It does make a huge difference! Something that is essential for me surviving winter is to work out as often as possible, especially outside. That is what winter clothes are for!
