Fun For The Kids Indoors This Winter In Boise

Posted on by AgentInsure

You want to plan some fun for the kids this winter, especially when they’re not playing outside. It can be dreadful for kids to be cooped up in the house with no fun in sight. By taking some action, your home in Boise can be filled with happy kids who are having fun.

Board Games

Board games can be a lot of fun – and you can involve plenty of kids. If they get tired of playing the same ones over and over again, let them be creative and make their own. Just borrow dice or a spinner from another game.

Story Time

Forget about reading the same story over and over again. Let the kids create their own. Have everyone contribute to the story – and then hand out paper and markers for everyone to be able to illustrate the story. You can always make copies to give to the other parents at the end.

Dance Party

Ensure the kids are up and moving around from time to time. Plan a dance party and let them know they can invite some of their friends. Turn on the stereo or karaoke machine and let them dance away their winter blues.

Salt Dough

Make up a batch of salt dough using salt, flour, water, and a little oil. It’s just like play dough, except you can bake it. Kids can get creative by making ornaments, figurines, and all sorts of cool things. You can choose to color the dough any color, too, which opens up the possibilities of what they can create.

Give Your Car The Best For The Fall

Posted on by AgentInsure

You want to give your car the very best for the fall months in Boise. There are various things that you can do to ensure that your car still gets the performance, even though the weather is colder. You can also be more comfortable as you drive by having a car mechanic check on a few things for you.

One of the first things you need to realize is that batteries are affected by colder weather. This means you want to make sure that the battery is in good condition and that the charging system is working effectively. Be sure that the connections are clean and clear. You may also want to look into replacing your battery if it has been years.

Have your brakes checked. As you drive throughout Idaho, your brakes are going to be tested more throughout the fall and winter them throughout the rest of the year because of ice and snow.

Your tires need to be checked as well. You want to make sure to have sufficient tire tread depth. You may also want to look into replacing your tires with a specialty tire that is capable of gripping the roads more effectively.

Also, schedule an HVAC inspection with a local mechanic. They will be able to check such things as:

  • Defroster unit
  • Heating system
  • Cabin air filter

There may be things you want to replace as well. Check on everything to make sure that your car is in good condition. You may want to replace wiper blades on the front and back windshields. If you are driving in any particularly snowy or icy areas, you may also want to think about snow chains.

Call us at Fuhriman Insurance Agency today. One of our agents can talk to you about coverage with your policy and work to get you an affordable rate.
