Celebrate Winter
Let’s celebrate Winter!
Winter is a wonderful time of year, when you can enjoy cold weather activities outdoors or keep warm indoors.
When you choose to be inside, I’ve got a whole lot of great ideas for things to keep you and your children entertained and well fed.
On this website, you’ll find giveaways to enter and information about movies to watch and books to read.
There are also free printable activities and lots of crafts.
My other website, Mama Likes to Cook, has a whole lot of great recipes that you can enjoy making and eating!
Whether you like to use the oven, cook with a slow cooker, an Instant Pot or skillet, there are plenty of tasty recipes to choose from.
I’m a vegetarian, so all of the recipes are meat-free.
I really do like to cook, and I enjoy sharing meals with family and friends.
Check out my giveaways, so you can have lots of chances to win prizes.
Take a look at my other entertainment articles, so you can keep up with the latest TV, movie and book news.

I’m not a big fan of winter but as long as I don’t have to drive on icy roads I can manage.
Deborah Smith says
I love winter. But then I like cooler weather a lot more than I do warm because you can always bundle up to get warm with a blanket, a good book and a cup of tea or hot chocolate but there is a limit to how much you can take off to try and stay cooler.
Melissa Storms says
I am not a huge fan of spending winter outdoors. I walk my dog because it has to be done but other than that I am all about being warm and cozy inside. I do get a lot of indoor home improvement projects done during the cold months because I am outdoors during the warm weather.

It says I have no entries :( I entered everyday for weeks. What happened?
Valerie Mitchell says
Your entries are there! The Rafflecopter form resets and usually is only accurate the first day you enter. This is out of my control and is the same for all giveaway sites that use Rafflecopter and have daily entry options. After the first day, the total that shows on the form isn’t correct. BUT everything is included on the back end when I choose the winners. The winner of this one will be posted soon. Thanks!
