Honey Mama Runs Wild: Honey Mama's Top 25 Ideas for Combating Cabin Fever on a Budget

In the coming months I’ll be posting on individual activities drawn from this list and share information about: how to find great winter gear on the cheap for the whole family, testing out and reviewing kids and adults winter gear and hearing your ideas for Combating Cabin Fever on a Budget.

I’ll also be answering your questions about life at The Moose Lodge and how our transition is going, from life in The Big City of Los Anchorage to our Little Log Cabin on the Edge of Wrangell-St.Elias.

Starting today, December 1, through the end of March I will be featuring activities from this list with instructions, ideas, and ways to get in touch with the wild, right out your backdoor, whether you live in a cul-de-sac or out in the wild blue yonder!

I’ll be featuring a variety of ideas for different interests, ages, and weather conditions.
I will also be featuring “Guest Blog Posts” including:

Restorative Yoga sequence with Tracy Johnson, Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor;

Musical Appreciation with Musician John Rose;

and a Writing Workshop with published Alaskan author Buffy McKay, her recently published novella, Weathered Edge was a first of its kind - a collection of three novellas by three up and coming Alaskan authors.
