Every week Long Valley Patch is beginning a new discussion that will help parents speak to other parents in town about situations that arise while raising kids.

On the heels of some pretty ugly weather, Long Valley Patch wants to know what you do with the kids to keep them entertained–and safe–when conditions won’t allow for outdoor activities. Is it movie time? Crafts at the kitchen table? Converting couches into secret forts?

Make sure you explain what you’ve done in our comments section below, and thanks for participating!
