Homemade Berry Fruit Cups
This is a sponsored post, all opinions are honest and my own. I love finding unique ways to make special memories with my kids. With Covid-19 I don’t want my kids to grow up and only remember that time they couldn’t leave their house, or go to the park. I want them to remember how there was a period of time that we got to spend an extra amount of time together as a family, and we made some super awesome memories during that time. Having 5 kids ages 3-16 years old and expecting baby #6, finding activities “at home” that appeals to everyone and isn’t and excessive amount of…

Of course I love having my kids home while we enjoy a snuggly day inside watching the snow as it falls. However, with kids ranging in ages 2-15 years old cabin fever becomes a very real thing.
