Mama, Stay in the Picture: Winter Family Photos Bingo

The holidays are over, the decorations are packed away, and January settles in with its quiet chill. Sometimes it feels like the camera slows down, too.

After a season of celebrations and busy schedules, winter can feel ordinary—routine even. But here’s a little secret: these are the days your kids will remember most. The slow mornings, cozy blankets, messy cocoa mugs, and laughter echoing through the house.

And they’ll want to remember you in them.

If you missed a few photos this fall, it’s okay. It’s not too late to start again. This winter is the perfect time to jump back in the frame, right where you belong.

That’s why I created the Winter Family Photos Bingo Board—a fun, gentle reminder to stay in the picture while making simple, joy-filled memories with your kids.

Why Winter Is the Perfect Season to Capture

• Life slows down. With fewer activities on the calendar, you have space to savor simple moments.
• Home becomes the backdrop. Some of the most tender memories are made right in your living room.
• Little things matter most. From cocoa spills to pajama snuggles, these photos will remind you that love lives in the ordinary.

How to Play

1. Download and print the Winter Family Photos Bingo board.
2. Each time you capture a moment on the board—snap a selfie, hand someone the camera, or use a tripod.
3. Add a sticker or color in each square as you go! (We love using little snowflake or heart stickers to mark ours.)
4. Try for one row, a diagonal, or a full board before spring arrives.

No perfection required—just presence.

What You’ll Capture

Here’s a little preview of the kinds of cozy moments you’ll find on the bingo board:

• ☕ Hot cocoa + blanket photo
• 🧣 Family walk in scarves
• 🎨 Valentine’s craft day
• 📚 Reading together by the window
• 🎬 Family movie marathon
• 💌 Writing letters to grandparents
• 🧩 Board game night
• 🌧️ Rainy-day puddle jumping
• 🎵 Dance party in the living room
• 💛 Pajama-day selfie

Whether you fill every square or just a few, you’ll have a collection of photos that celebrate presence—a season of slowing down and showing up.

Make It Even More Fun

• Add Stickers: Kids love adding a sticker each time they complete a square. Grab a pack of winter themed stickers to decorate your board and make it colorful.
• Use a Tripod: A small phone tripod with remote makes it easy to capture everyone in the shot—no balancing acts required.
• Print and Save: At the end of the season, tuck your finished bingo board into a memory box or scrapbook. It’s a sweet keepsake of the year’s cozy start.

Final Encouragement

Mama, these winter days are quieter, yes—but they’re also sacred.

They’re the slow mornings, the laughter around a game board, the smell of cocoa, the warmth of blankets piled high.

When your kids look back someday, they’ll remember those moments—and they’ll want to see you there.

So grab the camera, hand someone the remote, and jump in.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.

This winter, stay in the picture. 💛
