Is it just me or does this Winter seem to be never ending? The days are long and cold and as much as I love laying by the fire I would much rather be on a beach or on a long hot bike ride. Although we can’t change the weather or make the days go by any quicker, we can pretend it's summer for a day every once in a while. Here’s how:

Ice Cream Sundae Bar:

While Ice cream should definitely be eaten year round, there is something that makes having it in the summer even more enjoyable. A great thing to do with family is to make an ice cream sundae bar! Grab all of your favorite flavors and toppings and have a fun family activity accompanied by some delicious ice cream.

Drive in Movie:

Especially this summer, drive-in movies were the perfect way to feel like you were leaving your house when in reality, you are just sitting in your driveway. Blast the heat and grab either a projector or computer, and enjoy a family movie night in the comfort of your car. Just don’t forget the popcorn!

Change up the house decoration:

Whether it’s a new plant, or a new piece of art a change in home decor can completely change the vibe of your home in a matter of seconds. My family loves to switch out different centerpieces and plants around the house to make the environment less stagnant and more exciting!
