This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Goldfish Crackers for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
One of the joyful things about living in a 4 season country, is the never-ending winter. Lol Did you hear the sarcasm in my tone? Who am I kidding? You guys already know I’m not a big fan of winter! I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for another six weeks of it, but it’s hard!! My son and his dad are out during the day, but Jazzy and I are starting to get cabin fever! Today, I wanted to share some of the fun stuff we’ve been doing to pass the time along with some simple ways you can beat cabin fever while we all patiently wait for spring.
Simple Ways To Beat Cabin Fever + Snack Time With Goldfish Crackers
-
If you can’t beat them, join them!
And when I say “them,” I’m referring to all that dreadful snow! Although we had a lot of freezing weather, we were also blessed with some beautiful fluffy snow with – 4 °C (about 39 °F). This is a perfect time go out and “enjoy” the weather! Jazzy and I usually wait for Tristan to come home from school before we head out for some fun in the snow. We also use that time to shovel the driveway.

Enjoy a tasty snack together!
Who doesn’t like snack time? My kids live for it! Even better when it’s one of their favorite snacks, Goldfish crackers! I always keep some in the cupboard for a quick, delicious and wholesome snack option. Goldfish Colours Crackers are made with 100% real cheese and have no artificial colours or flavours*. These tasty, colorful crackers are an excellent snack choice. They are low in saturated fat and 0 trans fats and are always baked.
*Fun little facts: Did you know that Goldfish Crackers’ Colours are sourced from plants?
- Red Goldfish crackers are coloured using a mix of beet juice concentrate and paprika extracted from sweet red peppers.
- Green Goldfish crackers come from watermelon, and huito juice concentrates mixed with extracted turmeric.
- Orange Goldfish crackers use annatto extracted from the seed of the achiote tree.
Other simple ways to beat cabin fever.
- Do a puzzle
- Binge watch a Netflix show (I just finished watching ‘Friends’ and Jazzy is watching PAW Patrol-again!).
- Colour together
- Attend a local winter festival.
- Read a book

Great ideas for beating the winter boredom! I love the fact that they color their fish snacks with natural ingredients and not artificial dyes. My kids used to love these crackers and they were great because they were so portable and not too messy.
My litle one loves goldfish! I mean who doesn’t!? I have to reel myself in…no pun intended!
Great ideas to beat cabin fever. My kids are in their 20’s and we still enjoy watching movies and doing puzzles together (Well, my daughter and I do the puzzles). We are also Goldfish cracker fans. I always knew they didn’t use artificial colors, but never knew where the color came from – very interesting! Your kids are ADORABLE!
Great cabin fever tips! I especially like family movie night and building a fort. (And I will add — I am now craving Goldfish Crackers!)
Our kids love Goldfish crackers! And hey, so do I! This is such a true / good post too. It’s a must buy snack, whether you’re at home due to being sick or the weather, or on the go.
We go through so many goldfish that we have to buy the big gallon containers! We only wish they had more flavors in that size!
We have binge watched Netflix with Fuller House. 🙂 It was way more fun to do so Season One versus Two. We love goldfish. I’m thrilled they have so many types.
We don’t get much weather here, but cold/flu season hit and that has kept everyone inside a lot more often. These are great suggestions for staying sane while we are all indoors.
Being snowed in is difficult if you have young children! I remember when my kids were that young. Oh my, they drove me up the wall when boredom set in. Thanks for these suggestions. I will share these ideas with my sister. Her kids are still young and very active which makes it difficult for them to just spend the day in the house.
Cabin fever is definitely the worst. But Goldfish and Netflix makes the day a lot better. That’s really cool that Goldfish gets its colors from plants instead of using artificial products. A lot of brands should make the change to more natural ingredients. The best advertising always mentions how healthy the food is. I usually end up baking to combat my cabin fever. Scones and cookies for the win.
Goldfish are some of my favorite snacks! They go well with all of your cabin fever ideas. I like to do an at-home spa day but I guess that’s not a great family activity haha.
So many fun ideas! My kiddos love goldfish crackers, so including them in activities sounds like a win to me!
I tried the goldfish once but could not remember the taste. I did finish the whole packet after a week by myself and sharing with some colleagues in the office. I love how the color are so colorful and make me happy when eating them.
Good ideas to keep busy! Especially this week when kids are off from school in NY. My son loves goldfish. I always get him a bag to snack on when we shop i the grocery store to keep him happy.
Goldfish Crackers look so delicious. My kids would probably dig this/ I may need to have this for them.
I’m totally craving these right now! And I never knew they came in all different colours. What fun!
I always loved Golfish crackers as a kid! They were so addictive – haven’t bought ’em in a while but it seems like I need to go get some 🙂
We usually binge on movies whenever we’re stuck indoors because of the snow. Lego also keeps my son preoccupied during times like these. 🙂
These little crackers are so cute, I haven’t seen this before! I really love that they are sourced from plants what a great idea.
Armed with the right snack, you can get through anything. Our girls love Goldfish Crackers. There are so many varieties to choose from.
Cabin fever can be really annoying sometimes. There aren’t many things the Goldfish crackers don’t make better.
These are some great ideas for beating the winter boredom and those snacks sound amazingly delicious! Adorable pictures to 😀
The godfish crackers looks tasty.Too bad i don’t think in my country we have them
I love howpractical your ideas on how to beat cabin fever are
Goldfish crackers are always a hit with my littles. Actually, they’re a snack none of us have outgrown!
