MOVEMENT MONDAYS: Start your week on the right foot with some fun movement. Play hallway soccer, start a dance party in your living room, or have a basement family yoga session. Keeping your body moving is key!

TASTY TUESDAYS: Now’s the time to get creative in the kitchen! Get the whole family involved by designating tasks and create some fun, edible crafts. Start with these little Bug Bites! Bonus points: turn your Tasty Tuesday into an indoor or backyard picnic for even more family fun.

ADVENTUROUS WEDNESDAYS: Conquer the mid-week hump with some adventure play! Set up a scavenger hunt by creating a theme, brainstorming clever clues and set up a route throughout your home and yard. Take it to the next level by working together as a family to come up with a unique reward for the winner!

TEA TIME THURSDAYS: Put the kettle on and make a spread with your favourite herbal teas, hot chocolate, and snacks for a family tea party. Whip up a batch of these Chocolate Chip & Popcorn Cookies and curl up with a good book, watch an epic movie, or share stories, videos or funny moments from your week so far.

GAME NIGHT FRIDAYS: It’s time to kick it old school with a friendly game tournament! Whether it’s charades, board games, or crazy eights, team up with your family for some friendly competition.

What are you hoping to achieve this year? These tips will help you stick to your resolutions.

Do what makes you happy. In order to ensure a better chance of sticking to your resolutions, it is important to set goals that fit with your lifestyle and bring you happiness.

Celebrate the small wins. A long-term goal is more easily achievable when it’s divided into short-term objectives. Breaking your resolution down into different milestones will help keep you motivated!

Share your goals. Sharing your goals with your loved ones will help them encourage you along the way and celebrate your successes… and of course, you’ll do the same for them. It’s about supporting each other!

 

Snuggling is a great winter pastime, especially when the temperature dips below zero. Here are some tips for taking your snuggle sessions to the next level.

Set the mood. Snuggling is best after a nice long bath with some calm music playing, and your favourite scented candle lit.

Wear comfy clothes. Soft sweaters, lounge pants, a plush bathrobe, and reading socks are a must for relaxing and staying warm while you curl up with a good book or catch up on your favourite TV series.

Prep some snacks. Grab your favourite Popcorn, kettle chips, and other snacks, and whip up some new combinations. Store them in containers and switch things up by snuggling up with a different one every time!
