January is loooong. And although February is technically shorter, it can feel like eternity when we're stuck in a deep freeze.

It's so important in winter months to stay active (both physically and creatively!) and keep your spirits up, especially for those of you who are more affected by the lack of sunlight. Our fab blog sponsor Nepean Creative Arts Centre has provided us with an awesome list of classes for both adults and kids to help you lift your spirits!!
