Snow days are my favorite! These rare days allow extra time to make memories with my kids and sleep in. With technology, we don’t get them as often anymore, sadly. BUT today (even though it’s an e-learning day) we get some snow day time. Here are some fun snow day ideas I came up with for your family. Put away the technology, get outside, or cozy up inside and make some memories! ❄️
