I posted one of these last year to great success! It is one of my most-read posts. However, someone pointed out that some items on the list were chores. This, sadly, gives you some insight on my priorities…but it was one of the best comments I ever received! I’ve waiting months to have the opportunity to re do this list with fun, wholesome ideas for a snow day.
- Bake. I like to go through my cabinets and see if there’s anything that’s nearing it’s expiration date and go from there.
- Write someone a letter. On paper! Crazy concept, but it will feel more authentic and meaningful.
- Write a gratitude list! Here, I’ll start you off: heat, power, shelter… I have an article on how to make a gratitude list here. This works for little kids too!
- Create a vision board for the year.
- Create a Pinterest board for summer!
- Plan a vacation, even if you don’t plan on actually taking it. Only requirement? No snow.
- Shovel out a neighbor!
- Take a bath with essential oils.
- Make a snowy obstacle course.
- Write down where you want to be on this day, next year.
- Make a restaurant list. “There’s nowhere I want to eat” is a common one-liner of mine…
- Make a bucket list!
- Make an igloo. Amazon has great igloo block maker here.
- DIY spa day, anyone?
- Practice an indoor exercise like yoga (or just stretch).
- Learn a magic trick.
- Read by candlelight.
- Paint the snow with diluted food coloring!
- Watch a TED Talk together and discuss. I’ve been loving this one on procrastination.
- Build a snowman, snow woman, snow dog, heck build a whole family!
- Create an “I’m bored” jar, filled with ideas for rainy days.
- Create a winter scavenger hunt.
- Try making creatures out of origami!
- Make a dance playlist and test it out!
- Play snowy hide and seek.
- Make a list of your accomplishments.
- Camp in the living room.
