What do you do when it's too cold to go outside? Let me give you some ideas:
1. Brew a hot pot of tea and wrap yourself in a blanket with a good book.
2. Do something with all the photos that are sitting either in your computer or on your phone. Delete the ones you don't want. Print some for a scrapbook. Or order an online photo book.
3. Go through your filing cabinet and get rid of old papers, invoices, receipts, statements and shred them.
4. Write a letter, yes I said a paper letter with a pen in hand, to someone important in your life. Emails and texts are ok, but there's nothing like a handwritten note from a loved one.
5. Do some mending. It's a great time to sew on buttons, fix torn seams, hem trousers. (I do this in front of the TV.)
These are the things I do every January, at least. You've got some time and nowhere to go, so what are you waiting for?
Send me your ideas, I'd love to hear them!
Helpful, encouraging tips for home organization, cleaning, gardening, crafts, and cooking for those who want their home to be a place they don't want to leave.
