Do you jump into the new year with resolutions and positivity or quietly creep in with gentle steps?
I am a throwback to the academic year and a gentle January person! We joke that I am all about hibernating! I go gently into the darkest month of the year, thanks to my seasonal adjustive disorder, plus as the wife of an accountant in the throes of tax season. I have developed tools to help me through what feels like the longest month, as well as the darkest!
I leave up the Christmas Tree and fairy lights until January 6th (12th night) and even then I leave up most of the fairy lights and enjoy them through January and February.
Meal Plan - The husbeast is busy through January and I have learned that meal planning takes the weight off me, plus it also means we eat well - this is even more of a challenge as I will never be able to eat solid food again.
Make plansβI make sure I have things to look forward to. I have already planned a spa day with one of my besties and a sewing day, too.
Get outside - no matter the weather, getting outside helps. I must admit I miss Alvin terribly, as there was no better incentive to get outside than him. I think er may be at the point of thinking about a new pet.
These 50 winter activities for kids are perfect for this time of year and are all pretty low-cost or even no-cost. They are perfect for updating our bored jar with new activities for the new season
From Odd Glove Monsters, to January lanterns or even a rain gauge.
Birdfeeders
The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is 24- 26 January and these adorable homemade bird feeders are perfect for hanging outside in the backyard and attracting feathered friends to your garden. The best part? Using lard or coconut oil means this project can be done safely with little ones, as these ingredients melt at low temperatures.
