How to beat cabin fever

It gets hard being all cooped up in the house in the winter. With our kids getting bigger, the house is starting to feel "cozier" especially in the winter when we can't utilize the outdoors as much. For Christmas this year we asked for a 3-month membership to the Y. We've gone as a family a few times to swim and I've taken Little Dude with me several times to play in the kids gym so I could go have some treadmill time.

Unfortunately, we can't be at the Y ALL the time when we have winter wiggles out to work out. So, one has to get creative when trying to keep themselves amused and entertained. Let me offer you some suggestions the next time YOU find yourself wondering how to beat the winter blues.

You could, climb in a clothes hamper and let your younger brother roll you all over the house...

Or you could "twirl like a tornado" for 20 minutes
