- Renovate your home:
Judging by shows on DIY Network and HGTV, it takes approximately 24 minutes to renovate a house. Everyone knows this is not true, but this style of fast-shot remodeling presided over by glib hosts takes away from the core notion that home renovation is complex and difficult. A look at the major elements of a whole-house renovation will give you a sense of what's involved.
- Home crafting:
Why should kids get to have all the fun when it comes to arts and crafts projects? Adults can benefit from crafting as a relaxing method of expressing creativity and channeling emotions. (Adult coloring books have surged in popularity for these very good reasons.) Beyond that, crafts for adults can yield incredible homemade results — for gifts, wardrobe, home decor, party and entertaining items, and on and on.
- Go to a Mashta if possible.
When you think of ‘warm winter getaways', it's usually not European cities that come to mind. Either Sharm El Sheikh or Luxor will do the trick but you have to be sure which time and which place you are staying in because at this time, mashtas are very popular.
- Teach your kids to cook:
The best way to teach kids about eating right is to get them into the kitchen to prepare healthy meals together. Cooking is a valuable life skill that teaches children about nutrition and food safety, as well as building math, science, literacy and fine motor skills.
