Some suggestions to ward off winter boredom: Indoor picnic with all the basics – hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, popsicles Work on a big jigsaw puzzle. Even little ones can turn the pieces right side up! Have themed movie nights Set up an indoor fitness course – jumping jacks by the fridge, crunches with feet under the couch This month is a great time for Random Acts of Kindness – dig out a neighbor’s car, buy coffee for the person in line behind you. Send your mom a Valentine! Have a read-a-thon. Keep a list of books each family member has read. Have kids report on their favorite character and favorite part of each book Maintenance Free Winter Warmers Let the sunshine in – open curtains or blinds and let the sun warm your room (be sure to close them at sundown to help insulate the room) Move furniture so you’re sitting by warmer interior walls Turn off lights. Unplug the spare fridge in the garage if you don’t really need it, saving 10% of your electric bill. Shorten showers – showers account for 2/3 of your water heating costs. Reducing each shower by several minutes saves hundreds of gallons of hot water per month Use appliances efficiently. Run only full washer loads, using cold water when you can. Be sure to keep the dryer lint trap clean for maximum efficiency. Skip the heated dry cycle on the dishwasher and air dry instead Unplug what you can. TVs, cable boxes, chargers, peripherals all use electricity even when they’re off. Unplug those not used daily or essential to life, like the timer on the coffee maker!
