It so happened that in the pursuit of prosperity and social status we often forget about ourselves and those little joys that make life more interesting and rich. But in vain!
Usual going to the hairdresser or spa- a great option to relax after a hard week of work. Men won't give up visits to the bath or sauna.
V winter period we tend to spend the weekend at home, sitting at the computer and eating different goodies from the refrigerator. There is no benefit from such a weekend, as you have already noticed, only boredom and blues. Let's not mope, but rather consider a few interesting options spending the weekend, which will bring you not only a lot of pleasure, but will also be beneficial for you.
1. Make time for your nest. Work takes away from us almost all our free time, preventing us from doing all household chores in a timely manner. A day off is a good time to put your house in order. Don't just stop at dusting and sweeping carpets. Make a small change. It will add freshness to your rooms and give you a pleasant pleasure.
2. Take care of your transformation. On weekdays, we are used to devoting a minimum of time to our appearance. And appearance, as you know, requires special attention. So why not treat your face and other parts of the body with anti-aging and nourishing masks made by hand? Pretty useful and fun.
3. If you are an avid stay-at-home, take up your hobbies. By the way, a hobby can often bring some profit. Knitting, sewing, soap making, writing articles, nail extensions are not only a hobby, but also an additional source of income. So do not waste your weekends on stupid forums, look for your hobby and it may well bring you a good extra income.
4. If you adhere to an active life position, then the previous ideas, perhaps, will not inspire you. Well, for outdoor enthusiasts, we also have a couple of ideas in store. Going to the skating rink will not only bring pleasure, but also thoroughly warm up your body tired from work. And what about those who do not know how to skate? Yes, whatever! Go to the shooting range, shoot some paintball (in real life, of course), visit the pool or sauna, bowling or billiards. And after relaxing in a cozy chair, look on the Internet for a collection or some funny video.
5. If you start preparing for the weekend in advance, you can gather friends and rush out of town for a couple of days. It's great if you have forests and recreation centers near the city, where you can wrap yourself in a blanket and warm yourself by the fire, watching the picturesque snow-covered landscapes. Here you can also melt a bathhouse, and taste a shish kebab with a glass of something strong. Such weekends, of course, do not happen often in our lives, but pleasant memories of these rainbow days will warm the soul for a long time to come.
Life is fleeting. The lion's share of our time we work and rest. Only people who already have a child can spend a whole day caring for and communicating with him. Such is human nature - we are born, give birth to children and die when our time comes. As parents, we are obliged not only to take care of a worthy future for the baby, but also to educate him. It is impossible to do this without constant communication. Unfortunately, working parents can devote enough time to their children only on weekends.
Some work on a standard 5-day schedule, others work in shifts. In any case, it is important to plan your time in such a way that you devote maximum time to your beloved children.
Any child always suffers from the absence of a mom and dad nearby, from a lack of their attention and care. He may not show how he really feels. Only parents should remember that every kid wants to be the center of attention. If relatives are absent for a long time, and the child remains left to himself, this leaves an unpleasant imprint in the soul of a small person. No one wants, having matured, to remember their childhood years as lonely and uninteresting.
Only the love and attention of parents can fill the life of a child with happiness and joy. No toys in the world can replace this. There is only one conclusion: since you have given birth to a baby, spend enough time with him. Then, as an adult, the child will remember only good things about his childhood and about you.
Weekends spent with your children are a good family tradition that will benefit both kids and adults. This is an opportunity to get close to the child, talk heart to heart, discuss exciting topics and solve problems. Of course, this does not mean that on other days children can be ignored.

How to spend a weekend with kids at home
On weekends, it is not always possible to leave the house or go somewhere. Sometimes there are good reasons for this, in other cases, everything is explained by simple laziness.
Even if you stay at home, it doesn't matter. In any situation, you can find a worthy activity that will entertain you and your kids, and also give a lot of positive emotions.
The easiest, but at the same time fascinating way to spend time with children is to watch a movie, series or cartoons. So that this activity does not seem ordinary, it is better to arrange film shows less often, but it is interesting to hold them. For example, you can buy popcorn, bake homemade pizza, close the curtains and dim the lights, put on 3D glasses, turn up the volume - and start watching. It will turn out no worse than in a real cinema! The main thing is that children should enjoy watching the movie, so choose it according to the interests and age of your children.
Moms take note!
Hello girls) I didn’t think that the problem of stretch marks would affect me, but I’ll write about it))) But I have nowhere to go, so I’m writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method helps you too ...
A non-standard idea is to organize home workshops. Girls can be taught to cook homemade pizza or beautiful and fragrant soap. Now in stores you can find a lot of kits for children's creativity for a certain age. This is a great chance to tell the child in an interesting and exciting way about physical laws, about the world around us, and just to teach something.
The simplest drawing or modeling from plasticine can be an unusual activity. Can create family tree or make jewelry from polymer clay for kindergarten or schools.
One of the most interesting activities that gives great pleasure to children and adults is pampering. People of all ages don't mind fooling around. The kids just love it. So you can splash out your emotions, get a discharge and fill up with new, fresh energy.
Emotional release is extremely important for every person. At the same time, everyone has their own concept of pampering. It's fun to fool around with the kids to the music, make funny faces, scatter toys, roll on the floor, jump on the bed. All this is not only funny, but also useful precisely from a psychological point of view. After pampering, of course, everyone also needs to clean up together. And also good idea- come up with a prize for the one who cleans up faster and better than anyone else.
Competitions are a great idea to spend time with the kids on the weekends. Place a bet on who will quickly collect toys, make the bed, draw your family, find a hidden treasure or make a plasticine man. Competition topics can be very different - connect your imagination. Come up with a prize for the winner. The main thing is that the losing kid does not remain offended. Family competitions are not only exciting, they also develop different skills that will be useful to the child in the future in order to achieve the goal.
Children love it when they have guests. Therefore, it is a good idea to organize a theme party or even put on a home performance. Don't forget to prepare delicious treats for the kids and take photos. Then you will be happy to review them with the whole family.
Even staying at home, you can spend time with the kids in a fun, interesting and unusual way. Encourage the children to create fun activities together. All this does not require large expenditures. It is quite possible to spend a weekend in a narrow family circle budget and at the same time get a lot of vivid impressions.

We live in such a dynamic century that sometimes there is absolutely no time for important things, let alone for a good rest! Nevertheless, each of us has a time when we simply do not know what to do with interesting things. And, preferably, without spending a lot of money (they are also not always available, unfortunately).
We decided to help you with ideas on how to spend your free time in a fun and relaxed way, without much damage to material resources. These tips are applicable both for one person and for a group of friends. In general, get inspired!
1) If you love flora in its various manifestations, we recommend making a green corner with your own hands. For example, on the kitchen windowsill, or on the balcony. Choose the plants that you like the most. Fortunately, the choice in flower shops is rich. You can even combine business with pleasure and plant spicy greens for further use in creating culinary masterpieces. Caring for your home garden will not take you much time, about half an hour a day will be enough. So you will spend your free time to good use. And how much joy the first fragrant bud will bring you!
2) You can also walk around the nearest park, get some fresh air, listen to the birds singing. And if you ride a bike, skateboard or roller-skate along the alleys, then the walk will be doubly useful. In the company of close friends or relatives, the time spent in the park will fly by unnoticed, fun and bright. After all, they always have something to talk about and remember something.
3) A free concert is also a great way to pass the time. If you are a resident of a fairly large metropolis, then such performances are not uncommon, especially in the summer. So, go to the Internet, look for special sites that indicate the dates of upcoming events - and go on a cultural vacation! Positive emotions are provided to you!
4) Summer is the time for fruits and berries. You can find an abandoned garden and pick up any number of healthy and juicy treats for free. As a rule, apple trees, apricots, cherry plums, pears, cherries, cherries grow ownerless. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it? You can even make a double benefit by freezing some of the fruit for the winter, providing yourself with the necessary vitamins in the cold season.
5) No less, and maybe even a more pleasant way to spend your free time, will be communication (and not only!) With your loved one. This "bed rest" has never harmed anyone! So enjoy each other while you are young and full of energy! And experiments in bed, and intimate conversations will make you closer and dearer.
6) You can also have a great time at a spontaneous picnic. Gather your friends, collect fruits, vegetables, whip up sandwiches - what else do you need for happiness? Go to the forest or to the river bank, take a ball, rackets and badminton shuttlecock with you, have fun competitions and just relax. Just remember to pick up all the trash after you!
7) It's unbearably hot outside, and you don't want to go anywhere, away from the air conditioner? Then take care of your own home! For example, sort through old books and magazines that have long occupied all the shelves of your closet and stand idle there without attention. Collect everything you don't need in bags and take it to the nearest library. So you will free up the shelves for new and interesting books at home, and even gain respect from the library staff!
8) At night, you can also have an interesting time (and not only for the activity that you just thought about :)). You can do astrology or astronomy. Because it's so exciting. Read information about the stars, find star charts on thematic sites, try to make your own horoscope. We assure you that there will be only pleasant forecasts!
9) Isn't it time to replenish the playlist in your computer or MP3 player? How long have you been uploading new music? If you've been putting it off all along, then it's time! On specialized Internet pages you will find those compositions that will make your heart beat faster.
10) You can become such a superman for one day and ... no, not save the whole world, but take it and help some person. “When you do something for others from the bottom of your heart, without expecting gratitude, someone writes it in the book of fate and sends happiness that you never even dreamed of,” says Angelina Jolie. So why not follow her example and give even a little help to a stranger. So you will expand your social circle, and learn something new for yourself, and, perhaps, even find that same happiness.
11) You can also call your friends and arrange an exchange of clothes (of course, not too worn). After all, each of us in the wardrobe will definitely have a couple of things that were bought automatically, and quietly gather dust on hangers, taking up space, never worn, or simply not suitable for a number of parameters. What if this blouse is perfect for your girlfriend's favorite skirt? And these pants with another friend's jacket? This is a great way to update your wardrobe for free and recharge with positive emotions.
12) Look around, how many unnecessary things are stored in your house? Someone gave it away, bought it somewhere on the occasion of a sale, there was no need to use it, etc. Clothing, furniture, household appliances, decor elements - all this gradually clutters up the space and only irritates. Isn't it time to collect all this and put it up for sale? You can do this at a specialized fair, if such are held in your city. And you can also through the Internet by placing an ad with a photo and brief description on sites. This is a great way to clear up space and top up your budget!
13) How long have you been in the library? No, they didn’t just come to see, but, thoroughly, for the whole day? After all, this is just a storehouse of knowledge and various useful information. You will always find in her bins an interesting book or magazine that you have long wanted to see. Or you can just take some encyclopedia to the reading room, and then impress your friends with your awareness. Some modern libraries also have a computer room where you can spend time free of charge. And while browsing the Internet - pages you will not notice at all how the day will pass.
14) You can also arrange a party for your friends at home. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to bother with snacks and spend the whole day at the stove. Agree with friends that everyone will bring something tasty - and that's it, the issue with food is resolved! This way you save time and energy.
15) Another way to spend your free time is drawing. This occupation does not require large material investments, and besides, it perfectly develops creative inclinations and imagination. All you need is a simple pen, pencil, paints or felt-tip pens, and a few blank sheets - and now the masterpiece created by your hands is almost complete. In the event that you don’t have any thoughts about your future picture, use the same Internet. There you will definitely find inspiration, ideas, and even detailed lessons or master classes.
16) Self-education would also be an excellent option. For example, you can try to learn more interesting facts about the surrounding nature. Take an encyclopedia or a biology textbook with you to nature, and try to find information about all the plants that you meet on your way. Or you can go to the botanical garden in your city. You don’t even need to take books there, everything will be written on special plates.
17) Pictures can not only be drawn. You can take old magazines, paper, glue and scissors. Cut out the pictures you like and create your own masterpiece. Such works are also called the "Wish Card". Only on the sheet you need to embody everything that you dream about and what you want most of all: a beautiful car, a slender figure, your own house, children. Just visualize your dream. Feng Shui experts are sure that after this your desires will definitely become a reality. You can also use magazine clippings to make a simple stylized collage. Or a caricature of friends by combining their photos with the bodies of models or famous people. Such a gift will definitely be remembered by them for many years!
18) There is a beautiful phrase: "If you have nothing to do, take care of yourself." Playing sports is a great way to spend your free time. You don't even have to buy a membership to an expensive gym. Download lessons that interest you on the Internet - and go ahead. Practicing every day, you will very soon achieve amazing results and become the object of universal admiration.
19) You can also start an online diary on the Internet. Today there are many resources where you can register and create your own page. Pour out your soul, write it down interesting ideas, share your tips - and you will definitely not be bored in your free time. And if you do not block your posts from outsiders, and your blog is constantly developing, then in the future you can even earn money with it.

pig toy
You will need a funny plush pig toy. To the cheerful rhythmic music, children throw a toy into each other's hands. Suddenly the music stops. The one who at that moment was with a toy in his hands grunts loudly!
Period, period, comma...
We give the kids balloons (round!), scarves, markers, bandanas. On command, we begin to build a “little man”: we paint balloons with noses and eyes and decorate them with scarves or caps.
Do not drown!
To the cheerful music, we put a life buoy on the child. The kid, putting it over his head, tries to quickly remove the circle through his legs, and then give it to another. Who at the moment of the unexpected end of the music was inside the life buoy - is considered drowned.
Obviously, interesting games at home for children are not only a fun pastime, but also good way create a space in which both children and parents feel fun and comfortable! And for this, of course, it is worth trying!
