If you are doing a staycation at home this holiday season, you might find yourself wondering what to do. Fear not- if you want to find something to do that is fun and will keep you occupied, these are the perfect family-friendly activities at home!

Get Baking
I love baking as a good bonding experience because everyone can get involved no matter their skill set. All you have to do is follow the recipe, and it can be such a fun time together making some sweet treats while playing some classic holiday music!
For the winter, I love baking some delicious goods like:
- Gingerbread man cookies
- Pumpkin or banana bread (with chocolate chips, for good measure)
- Snickerdoodle cookies
- Olive oil cake with light sugar coating on top
- Peppermint white chocolate cupcakes
These baking essentials are on sale for some amazing prices on Amazon right now and are the perfect little trinkets to have around the kitchen for the most fantastic holiday baking night.
