Holiday Breaks take on a different meaning when you are a Stay at Home Mom. When I was working full time, I treasured the days of being at home with the kids. I would get 2-3 days off at the most and those days were so jam packed with activity, it seemed like they were over before they even started.
Fast Forward to this year, when the Board of Education saw fit to make Thanksgiving Break a week long, sending this Mommy into Panic Mode. A Week off in the Cold, with little to no chance of Outdoor Activities means I have to find a way to keep these girl’s entertained to combat the B-O-R-E-D bug.

So my mind switches into List Mode….
What can we do?
- Board Games
- Arts & Crafts
- Bowling
- Learning Disguised as Fun
- Read-a- Thon & Library Trips
- $3 Movie Theater Trip
- Holiday Decorations
- Scrapbooking
- Making Christmas Lists
- Mini-Golf
- Baking
I am feeling pretty proud of myself, until I realize that my entire list could probably fit into a 4-5 hour time Span, which sends me into an even bigger panic.
So it’s back to the drawing board, also known as Pinterest.
Here are some of the links that I found….
