a mom's guide to keeping kids entertained indoors!

This post is sponsored by Nature's Bakery. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

#AD The day I became a mother, my life was forever changed. A simple day at the park became a scavenger hunt for rocks and pinecones. Playtime in the sandbox became a dinosaur fossil adventure. A trek through the snow led to snow angels - in many ways, my inner child came back to the surface and I had just as much fun as my kids did during our adventures!

Another big change to my pre-mom lifestyle was being more mindful of the food choices I was making for my child and me.

The better-for-you snack brand, Nature's Bakery, found that the majority (56%) of parents believe it’s difficult to find an activity the whole family would be interested in. I know that I can relate to the dreaded, "I'm bored" phrase I hear often in my own home, so I know this is a true issue!

Luckily, Nature's Bakery launched its "Snack Sized Adventures" microsite that offers tons of ideas for family activities!
