Summer
vacation is here and it’s a very wonderful time for us to go out and have a wonderful trip out of town. Maybe not
for all of us. Some of us would rather stay at home where we don’t have to go
too far, tire ourselves, or spend too much and spend the same quality time for
ourselves and our family. Looks like we can see few moms raising their hands
already.
No
packing and you get to stay at the comfort of your own home or anywhere that’s
not out of town at least. Maybe that’s why some of us choose not to have a
vacation, but rather have a wonderful staycation with our family.
Go to a mall or a park
Particularly
one that you haven’t been to yet so that everything in your sight is new. You
may see the same shops, but the interior is always different and there’s always
something unique about every mall and park you visit. After all, it’s also a
new sight for your kids.
Play board games
Grab
that old Scrabble or Snakes and Ladders. You can introduce these fun board
games to your kids and let them experience the same games we used to play. It’s
fun and it’s also a nice way to get them off from screens and still have fun.
Eat like it’s a Holiday
Mark
a specific date on your calendar and pretend it’s a Holiday. Holidays are
usually great times for the family to eat and be happy together, so why not
make your own Holiday?
Make it educational
Visit
a museum or teach your kids new things they don’t teach in school. Make it fun,
memorable, and most especially a time for your kids to learn something new.
Exercise
You
can also use your free time to exercise and make a good balance between rest
and all the activities you’ve planned. Exercise also makes a person happy!
Relax
You
don’t really have to spend every minute of your staycation. Find the time to
relax, have time for yourself, and think of other things than just activities
to do on your staycation. Read a book, drink some tea or coffee, and just find
the time to relax.
