Winter brings with it snow, hot chocolate, fires
and
CABIN FEVER! What if we could harness the seemingly limitless energy of our youngsters, and put it towards a
fun, family activity?
Most of us, as parents, realize the importance of family activities and spending a good quantity of quality time with our children. If God has blessed your home with children, even when money is tight (which it is for most of us right after Christmas) you can still plan to enjoy the time you have together!
