April showers might bring May flowers, but it’s not May yet. Here are a few fun things you can do during a rainy day.
Bake Some Goodies
Baking might be classified as work, but you get a great result once you’ve finished. Find some fun recipes and have a day in the kitchen. By the time you’re done you’ll have desserts for the week, maybe even the month! Click here for a list of easy desserts to fill your rainy day bake-a-thon!
Movie Marathon
Movies are a great way to pass the time during a rainy day. You can go through your favorite trilogy, or find films with your favorite performers. Rainy days are a great opportunity to introduce your children to your favorite childhood movies. Maybe you and your significant other want a dinner and movie date right at home. Pick your favorite movies and let the rainy day fly by!
Read a Book
Sometimes the best thing to do on a gloomy, rainy day is cuddle up on the couch with a good book. Let your imagination go wherever you want by choosing your favorite stories. Maybe there is a book you’ve been wanting to read but haven’t had the time, or you want to read with your children. When you don’t feel like getting up and doing much because of the weather, open a book, relax, and enjoy.
Games
If you’re stuck inside with your family or friends because of the rain, play a game or two. You can have a game day and play multiple types of games. It might be fun to make it a competition to see who wins the most games. If you started with board games, switch to card games, or even puzzles! Filling a rainy day with fun helps it fly by. Enjoying time with friends and family can make the darkest days that much better.
Open a rainy day fund. The best way to be prepared for the unexpected is to have a financial cushion to keep you afloat and out of debt. Whether it’s an unexpected hospital visit, birthday or even just a special occasion, building that rainy day fund will allow you to cover these costs without having to dip into retirement funds or other investments.
