Omaha Mom

Now that we have 3 kids, here’s my go-to Cabin Fever list of ideas for those dreary and dark winter days.

I was lucky enough to grow up 10 miles from both sets of grandparents and even had my Great-Grandma in my life until I was 17.

No matter how many times I complain about the Omaha weather, I must admit that I’m always just as excited as the kids are to hear there is a snow day.
