There is nothing like being stuck inside during a hurricane, long bouts of rain, a snow storm or any other act of nature that requires you to be hunkered down at the homestead! Add children into that mix, possibly losing power, and cabin fever is likely to hit a lot sooner rather than later. However, there is a definite upside to being stuck inside with nowhere to go. View this time as precious to share uninterrupted with your children and loved ones. A lot of days we are on the go with school activities, sports, work, family parties or other obligations. Even though there is a natural disaster occurring, it is important to keep the power of positive thinking in check. There is nothing you can do to stop, or change mother nature, so why not throw up the white flag and just have some fun. I found some websites that may be useful in giving ideas for ways to have fun indoors.
