We at House Life Today thought you might like some ideas to keep you and your family from going bonkers with everything going on today. We have tried to avoid the usual stuff like binge-watching Netflix or playing video games. These obviously will not apply to everyone, but maybe you can pick up an idea or so that would help you combat cabin fever. Listed below are some ideas you might consider.

1. Play a new card game.
Have you ever heard of Spoons? It’s a family favorite, super fun, and simple. A deck of cards and a few spoons is all you need. Google the directions or check out this link.
2. Organize your kitchen.
We did an article not too long ago on HouseLifeToday called Kitchen Organizing Tips; you might want to check it out for a few ideas.
3. Re-arrange your bedroom or living room.
This is always rewarding; it gets you moving and gives you some self-accomplishment
4. Build something.
If your setup for it, build a new dog house, picture frame, or shelf.
My teenager spends hours building playing card pyramids to see how far he can get before it falls over.
Kids can spend days building cardboard forts, help them out, and you will feel like a kid again.
5. Organize your photos.
These days everything is on the phone and computer. It’s a perfect time to get them organized finally. You will have fun finding so many pictures that you have forgotten all about. Print some out and put them in that picture frame you built.
6. Squeegee your windows.
It’s one of those things you put off. After a year or two of spot cleaning, they don’t look good, and the only way to get them like new again is to squeegee them. HouseLifeToday did a video titled Squeegee an Interior Window you might want to check out.
7. Go for a hike or walk.
The best way to fight a cold is to stay in shape so the exercise will do you and your family good.
8. Take a bike ride.
If you live in an area where you will not be around too many people, you might dust off that old bike and give it a try.
9. Fix things around the house.
You know that busted light switch cover or the loose doorknob. You would be surprised how many little fixes you can come up with.
10. Clean out your storage.
You have put it off for years. Make a pile of stuff to donate once the environment changes.
