After seeing today’s weather report for most of our country, I have to wonder why January would be named National Hobby Month. What if a person’s hobby is surfing, bicycling or sailing? January would not be a great time for those hobbies – unless you live here in Miami. (I apologize for rubbing it in that it was 84 here today and sunny!)

So what are your hobbies? And your kids’ hobbies? If you don’t have enough hobbies that can be enjoyed during National Hobby Month, then try something new! Here are some ideas for the cold winter months:
