In this week's episode of Homestyle — a podcast from The Daily Advertiser that’s all about life, family and the stories they inspire — co-hosts Leigh Guidry and Joe Cunningham go over some ideas for fun things to do this winter when it's too cold and too dark too early to be outside.

In this episode you'll hear: 

>> recipe ideas to try while you're stuck inside this winter — as simple as hot chocolate or as finicky as pralines;

>> "big" bucket list items for Leigh and Joe with YouTube as the teacher;

>> craft ideas like yarn art to get the whole family involved inside and also serve as Christmas decorations or gifts-to-be;

>> places to sightsee and photograph, even if it's just through the car window;

>> and more indoor activity ideas, from journaling to knitting.

Send us your great bucket list ideas for this winter! You can find us on Facebook and on Instagram (@Homestylepod).
