Y’all cabin fever is real right about now for those of us that have been snowed in for 5 days. Winter Blues are real and it can wreck havoc on the psyche. Normally when folks are snowed in they begin to think about all the stuff the haven’t done and need to do but really, being snowed in should have you enjoying the simple pleasures and doing the things you normally don’t have time to enjoy.
5 Simple Pleasures to Do While Snowed In
1. Learn a new craft. Take that new Cricut you got for Christmas out the box and start crafting. There are some really cool easy crafts on Design Space and via Cricut Access.
2. Get up and get moving. Learn a new dance or even a new exercise. YouTube is your friend for this. Don’t be afraid to move the couch in the living room to give you more room to move. My blogging buddy Ebony over at, Her Life On Purpose, has a good article on Beginner Exercise. You should check it out.

3. Take a class on udemy. Again, brush up on your professional skills or learn a new skill.
4. Blow the dust off the board games and/or cards in your closet. Bring them out and have a family game day/night. Have fun is the ultimate prize with this one. Try these Alternative Cards from Date Night Tees for a fun game night.
5. If you are anything like me, I could use this time to organize my closet, my craft room or even my laundry room. Sweet Shoppe Mom has several great posts on how to get your home organized. Use your snowed in time to get your house/space organized.
Bonus idea: You could always try a new recipe. Y’all know how much I love to cook when it is cold. So try this recipe, or this one or maybe this one.
Don’t let being snowed in depress you. Use the time to your advantage. Do the things you normally wouldn’t be able to do because you are busy with EVERYTHING ELSE.
What simple pleasure will you indulge in during these snowed in days?
