Hard Winter? 9 Ways to Battle Cabin Fever (10 photos)

5. Read. Shop your own shelves for those gems you’ve been meaning to read but never got around to. Help your kids choose some things they may not ever unearth on their own — I recently found a book on Greek mythology in my parents’ attic I loved as a kid that I knew my nephew would love. If the kids aren’t in school yet and have books at home, encourage a daily study hall where they can review and also get ahead. If you can get out, hit the library or local bookstore.

If you tend to hoard magazines, as I do, take some time to enjoy them one last time, say goodbye and show them the door. Schools and art classes are always happy to have them for projects, or you can put them in the newspaper recycling bin.

While you’re at it, make a special place to enjoy reading extra cozy. We have plenty of stories to give you some inspiration.
