The cold chill has finally settled in and winter finally feels like it has arrived. For the last couple of weeks it’s been getting colder and colder and we’ve been indoors a lot more. With the kids battling colds off and on for the last few weeks and a baby in tow, I’m really trying to limit their exposure to the chilly air. Being home more means trying to find ways to keep the kids entertained without driving me crazy all day and the kids have been doing pretty good at finding ways to stay occupied indoors, now if I can just get them to stop bickering all the time that would be awesome, but does that ever really end?

Some of the kids favorite things to do indoors when it’s too cold to go outside are:

• Build Forts with blankets and pillows
• Play video games like Just Dance and Mario
• Play card games like Uno
• Color and do art projects
• Help me bake
• Watch movies with a bowl of popcorn
• Read Books while snuggled up on the couch or in their fort
• Science experiments
• Pillow Fights

While they’re doing all this I love to have warmed baked goodies for them to enjoy with a nice warm glass of hot chocolate and did you know you can warm up a glass of TruMoo‘s Chocolate Milk, dress is up with your favorite hot chocolate toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and marshmallows and it makes a nice warm treat on a cold and chilly day and if you’re like me then you already have Trumoo’s Chocolate Milk in your fridge, because the kids love it, and using Trumoo makes Hot Chocolate making a breeze since all you need is their chocolate milk.

In the spirit of all things Hot Chocolate I even whipped up a batch of delicious Double Chocolate Marshmallow cookies and they’re the perfect compliment to that glass of Hot Chocolate Milk!
