Hey friends! If you’ve ever been hit with a surprise snow day, you know the struggle—kids bouncing off the walls, constant snack requests, and the temptation to just hand over the iPad. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!In today’s episode, we’re talking about simple ways to keep your kiddos entertained without screens. I’ll share my go-to strategies, including setting up a Snow Day Preparation Station (trust me, this is a game-changer!), repurposing unopened holiday gifts, and pulling out old-school fun like dance parties, puzzles, and even car games (yes, they totally work indoors too!).
