To beat cabin fever during those cold winter months, I suggest getting outdoors whenever possible! Living in the midwest you can easily see freezing temps, like tonight when we're -4 degrees with a feel like temperature of -17. So obviously be choosy when you take those adventures. If you do decide to go outside make sure that your little one is dressed in head to toe winter weather gear. When Zooey plays outside she is in snow boots, snow pants, snow coat, snow mittens and a snow hat (literally head to toe winter weather gear). One of her favorite winter activities is riding in the boggon (has a safety strap and all) as I pull her along, weaving in and out of our front and backyard.
So even though we're "adults" feel free to be a kid again and play with your kid(s) in the snow: snowmen, snowball fights, sledding, ice skating, "snow" castle, snow fort, snow igloo,
cross-country ski, snow angels, and so on.
And if the cold weather gets you down? Put on some island music, turn up the heat, and dance around (inside) in your swimsuits! ;)
