Sometimes a rainy day interrupting the glorious summer weather can be a welcome change of pace and a great opportunity to slow down, check in, and enjoy time at home with your family. Here are some ideas to make the most of the next rainy summer day.
Celebrate the Rain
If you wake up to gray skies and the sound of raindrops pattering upon your windowsill, take time to look, listen, and enjoy the sights and sounds with your children. Rather than viewing this as a gloomy turn of events, celebrate how wonderful it is to have the rain cool down the earth, water the plants, and allow for an excuse to stay in and enjoy the comforts of home.
Enjoy a Slow Breakfast
Take your time and prepare something special: pancakes or muffins, cut fruit, omelets, whatever the family would especially enjoy because you’ve got time and you’re not going anywhere. Rather than a rushed bowl of cereal at the counter, allow the kids to set the table and help in preparations. Enjoy your morning meal together and discuss what a gift a rainy day can be.
