Stay Happy, Even in the Middle of Winter

Several blogs that I've read lately have been saying how they have the winter blues. I am one of them. When January rolls around every year, I feel really lazy. It's easy for me to want to stay indoors in my pajamas all day (and I admit that I do this some days). I don't want to see snow on the ground anymore. I want to see green grass, leaves on the trees, and blue skies. I want to take my kids outside and play for a couple hours and soak up the sun. Anyway, no matter what the season, there are things we can do to help keep ourselves happy.

I totally have the winter blues! Plus, Sydne isn't sleeping well, which is why I am commenting at 5:55 am. Your suggestions are great! Thanks!
