Here in Southern Indiana, the fall was unusually warm. I tried to enjoy it as much as possible, so you won’t hear me whining, but I am aware that winter is here and will probably stay. This time of year, Hoosiers are aware that bad weather can arrive suddenly and without much notice. Remember when we woke up this time last year to find several inches of snow that seemed to appear out of thin air?

When winter weather finally arrives, you don’t want to be unprepared and caught off guard. For this reason, this is the ideal time to get certain necessities for a fun and secure winter. I prefer to classify these items into a few groups.
- Personal comfort & safety essentials
- Outdoor essentials
- Playtime essentials
- Fancy schmancy essentials
Make a list of everything you have for the winter by going through your closets and/or tubs. More essential, you want to confirm that everything still fits and that you A) have everything you need. You may probably discover that your children have outgrown their belongings. After that, go to your shed or garage to see how those outdoor necessities are doing.
After determining what you already have, see what else you need by comparing it to the list below.
