The nights have drawn in, the weekends are cold and wet yet you still have the kids to entertain and keep happy.  This can prove difficult if you have a house full and/or your house is only small.  Tempers normally sore, you all get hot and bothered and ornaments knocked over from everyone running around.  As an adult your try to get the boring chores done – washing is all over the place and you lovely house is turned to a laundrette.  The kids are bored as they’ve got square eyes from watching TV or from playing on the computer all day – it goes on and weekends become unenjoyable – not a good thing!

So, to help you through these winter months I plan to give you a few ideas of how you can keep the serenity and calm yet relieve the boistrousness from the kids, through the rainy darks evenings and weekends.
