Ideas for an Easter at home
Easter is going to look pretty different for a lot of families this year, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be celebrated and enjoyed. While it’s true that we’ve been advised to forgo the road trips and large family get togethers that would normally take place at this time of year, there are still a lot of activities we can do at home to make the most of the long weekend. Here are some ideas: Catch up virtually Being physically distant from family and friends doesn’t mean that you need to be socially distant. Use the Easter weekend as a chance to connect with loved ones near and far, whether it’s through an online video call, or something as simple as a phone call or text message. Everybody has a lot to chat about right now and you might even find that now is a great time to reconnect with people you might have lost touch with. Camp in the backyard A camping trip is a popular Easter tradition for many families in Australia, but while heading to public campgrounds is definitely ruled out, you can still pitch a tent in your backyard (or maybe even in your living room). Get out the sleeping bags and warm up a nice mug of cocoa and enjoy spending some quality time with your family while gazing out at the stars. Rearrange furniture Use your extra time to experiment with the furniture placement around your home. Trying out different layouts is an easy way to mix up the look and feel of your living spaces without having to do any renovating, and it may also help you find more functional solutions than what you are currently living with. You might end up going back to your original layout later, but by playing around with furniture positions you might get a new outlook on your home and how each space can work for you. Get started on a DIY project Kids love to get into craft projects over Easter, and adults can join in on the fun too by starting a new home project. The possibilities for home DIY are endless but any easy place to start is with a small painting project. You could paint your front door a vibrant new colour, refresh a bedroom or maybe even paint some vases or pot plants to reinvigorate them. Treat yourself to something home-baked There’s a good chance that a lot of us will be indulging in some Easter eggs over the weekend, but home-baked treats will be popular too. […]
