Snowy Days and Cozy Finds: Javessa's Holiday Bucket List and Budget-Friendly Winter Gear

I’m back with another blog, and I’m so excited to share this one with you all! Who else loves a cozy snow day? We recently had a magical snowstorm that left us with a blanket of fresh powder. For me, the more snow, the closer it feels to the holidays. There's just something about it that makes the holiday season feel even more special!

With Christmas just a few days away and the holiday season officially underway, we've already started planning fun family activities. I love creating a holiday bucket list—it makes planning so much easier! With the snow and chilly weather, it's essential to make sure your kids have the best outdoor gear to stay warm and have fun in the winter wonderland.

Here are some of the fun holiday activities on our winter bucket list: sledding, ice skating, attending winter festivals, building snowmen, and driving through neighborhoods to admire the holiday lights. With all these exciting adventures, it's important to make sure your kids are bundled up in cozy, warm outdoor gear to stay comfortable and enjoy every moment of winter fun!

I always check out my local Once Upon A Child because they have winter jackets, hats, and mittens at such affordable prices. I love how their winter gear is neatly organized by size and style, making it so easy to find exactly what I need. Plus, right by the front of the store, they have bins stocked with hats and mittens, so it's a breeze to grab what you're looking for. I was able to find a cozy winter jacket for Rowan, a warm hat, and waterproof gloves—all for just $25! How amazing is that?! With his new gear, he was able to enjoy the snow day and stay warm the entire time.

And the best part? You never know what hidden gems you'll find! If you're looking for fun on a budget, they have a great selection of indoor and outdoor toys, perfect for cozy days inside or adventures out in the snow.
