National Sundae Day - Sweet Activities!
DIY Sundae Bar: Set up a sundae station with a variety of ice cream flavors, sauces (chocolate, caramel, strawberry), and toppings like sprinkles, whipped cream, fruits, and nuts. Let everyone in the family customize their own sundae creation.
Sundae Taste Test Challenge: Grab some unique or unusual ice cream flavors and have a blind taste test. Rank the flavors and try to guess which is which.
Sundae Art: Use toppings to "paint" a scene or shape on your sundae. Kids (and adults!) can make faces, animals, or patterns with sprinkles, gummy candies, and fruits.
Sundae Scavenger Hunt: Hide sundae toppings around the house and let everyone go on a scavenger hunt to find them. Once everyone has found their toppings, they can build their sundaes.
Ice Cream Cone Sundae Parfaits: Layer ice cream and toppings in a glass for a parfait-style sundae or try making mini sundaes in ice cream cones.
Sundae and Movie Night: Pick a fun movie, and serve themed sundaes with toppings inspired by the characters or setting of the film.
Sundae Topping Crafts: For a creative twist, use sundae toppings to make crafts or play sensory games with kids. Arrange toppings into shapes on a plate or “glue” (with a dab of frosting) small treats onto a piece of paper to create sweet artwork.
National Singles Day - Treat Yoself!
1.Self-Care Spa Day
- Treat yourself to a relaxing home spa day. Start with a warm bath or shower, use your favorite skincare products, and even light some candles or diffuse essential oils. You could even go for a DIY facial, a luxurious hair mask, or a foot soak.
2. Movie Marathon or Series Binge
- Pick out a selection of your favorite feel-good movies or series and settle in with cozy blankets. Whether you’re into rom-coms, action, or animated films, choose whatever makes you feel happiest. Bring your dog along for cuddles and make it a cozy movie day.
3. Order or Cook Your Favorite Meal
- Enjoy your favorite comfort food, whether that means ordering in from a restaurant you love or cooking something special for yourself. Add a sweet treat or dessert if you like!
4. At-Home Hobby Time
- Spend some time doing something you enjoy but may not always have time for, like drawing, writing, knitting, or playing an instrument. It's a great way to relax and unwind, and it’s even better if you have a passion project you’ve been meaning to work on.
5. Play with Your Dog
- Spending time with your dog can be incredibly rewarding and stress-relieving. You could try teaching them a new trick, going for a long walk if the weather’s nice, or just playing around with their favorite toys indoors.
6. Self-Reflection and Gratitude Journaling
- Take a moment to reflect on the great things about being single and independent. Write down things you're grateful for, your goals, and everything you’re proud of. It’s a great way to celebrate where you are in life right now.
7. Try a New Creative Project
- Whether it’s baking something new, starting a photo scrapbook, or finally tackling a DIY project, letting your creative side out can be super fulfilling.
8. Set Up a Cozy Spot for Reading or Meditating
- Gather up some pillows and blankets, find a peaceful corner, and get lost in a book you’ve been wanting to read. Or if you prefer, put on a meditation track or calming music, close your eyes, and relax.
