Just because the weather isn’t cooperating doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with the little ones.

Play hide and seek.
When’s the last time you played a good old game of hide and seek with the kids?

Plan a movie marathon.
Grab your favourite flavour of Lay’s^® potato chips or dish up a bowl of Smartfood® popcorn and slip into your PJs to revisit some family classics.

Do some crafts.
Look online for some simple crafts to do with the kids. Get them to create something to decorate their room, or give them a theme, like Saint-Patrick’s Day or Easter to help inspire.

Have a board game night.
Teach the kids a new card game or play a round of each person’s favourite board game.

Plan an indoor picnic.
Instead of eating lunch at the table, lay down a table cloth in the living room, and have fun munching on sandwiches paired with their favourite snacks.

It’s time to get your food storage sorted!

Use clothespins to keep snacks fresh.
They’re perfect for keeping your bags sealed.

Organize with bins and baskets.
This will help keep everything tidy in the pantry.

Keep bulk ingredients in clear containers.
This way, you’ll always know how much you have left.

Separate food by categories.
For example, you could have a shelf for “snacks”, and another for “breakfast foods” or “baking ingredients”.

De-clutter every two weeks.
Make sure to reorganize once in a while so you don’t have to start all over again from scratch!

This winter, enjoy some family time by bundling up and heading outside!

Build a family of snowmen.
Make it an ongoing project to create a snowman representing each member of your family. Decorate them with spare hats and scarves!

Go sledding!
Get your snowsuits on and head to the nearest park or hill.

Make a snow fort and have a snowball fight.
This is a great activity for parties and family gatherings. Just make sure to lay down some ground rules for safety.

Take the kids skating.
Several parks have free outdoor skating rinks during the winter months. Take advantage of them!

Play soccer / catch / football in the snow.
Some games can be played even when the ground is covered in white. Once you get moving, you won’t stay cold for very long!

Make snow angels.
Join the kids in the fun—just remember to dress in your warmest clothes!

These simple ideas can help you feel happier on a daily basis. Give them a try!

Put a smile on your face!
Smiling more can help put you in the right mindset to have a positive attitude and feel happier.

Spend quality time with your pet.
It’s been proven that having a pet can help improve your mental health. So make sure to get in some cuddle time with your dog or cat!

Listen to happy tunes.
Whether they evoke happy memories or simply makes you feel good, boost your mood by listening to songs that put a smile on your face.
