With a big family, freezing temperatures, busy school days and of course being the elected one to always have to be on time, I am showing my list of must haves!
 |
| Used for more than just kid noses |
 |
| I bought blankets that were specific for them to take in the car Easier to keep track of |
 |
| Lifesaver when you want to stay occupied but also cuddle with blanket |
 |
| And for when you need to warm up |
 |
| Keurig Cocoa - I will never admit how many boxes we have went through on here |
 |
| Putting snack and craft together makes a cold day great |
 |
| Crafts! Scour search engines for great winter crafts |
 |
| Lots of Crafts! |
 |
| We would make these everyday |
 |
| Journal Writing |
I know that Journal writing it not as common anymore, but I just love the idea of it. Of course my younger two children can't form whole words yet but I encourage my 3 year old to draw a picture of her favorite thing she did that day and to write down ideas of things she would like to do in the next coming days. I myself will draw a small picture or write a little note in their books just so they know that I am thinking about them. My eldest daughter finds my little notes that I have written in hers and loves to come show me what she has written back.

| Family "Gotta Have" |
I honestly dont know what I would do without this exact calendar. It has big sections to write in and stickers to easily mark events. The stickers are the best part. We have girl scouts every thursday (except on off school days) so I put all of the green flower "activity" stickers on the thursday section of the calendar. It is so much easier than going through and writing it down for every day. The stickers are also brighter than the calendar pages so it is easy to see the special days for an activity.
I also purposely went through and wrote down things to do just to get us out of the house on cold days.
Before winter is over I may very well have more that I just could not have lived without!
