Snow day?
As we head into winter, snow days are expected in many parts of the Northern hemisphere.
What’s your Snow Day plan? If you got a totally free day, what would you do? Lay around? Catch up? Start or finish a project?
We think it’s good to have a general idea of what to do with a totally free day – in case there’s a need for some supplies to be on hand. We love to bake on snow days – the house smells great, it’s warm, and there are “treats” like pumpkin bread or cookies or blueberry muffins.
You may choose to clean out a closet, wrap all your holiday gifts, write and address all your holiday cards, cook “ahead” and stock the freezer, finish a scrapbook or other craft project, do your online banking, or (we have to say it) shovel some snow.
If you have kids at home on a snow day, you may not be able to be “productive” in the traditional sense, but you can invest in the relationship you have with your kids – and that’s totally productive. Play board games, or read a story and act it out, or (for younger kids) build a fort with pillows and blankets.
Think ahead about what you might want to do on a Snow Day. You may never do any of them – but you’ll at least have some ideas in your head when it happens. And you can always use your ideas on a weekend.
