Guest Post: 5 things to do this month

Today we have lovely miss Maria from I Believe in Story guest-posting here on the blog today with a pretty inspiring post that's sure to keep ya inspired!

5 Things to Do This Month

01. Visit a museum.

This is something that most of us ignore, since we're so complacent with the city or town that we live in. I live in the capital city of Canada and there is no shortage of national museums that I could be visiting on a regular basis. Check out the websites of local museums; even if you've been before, new and special exhibits are always being introduced.

02. Read a children's book.

There is something calming about reading a book that's written for children. Not only does it bring you back to your childhood, but it can also expand your imagination, lending a helping hand to your creative endeavours. Pick up a book that you loved when you were young and re-read it or go to a local bookstore and select a book that has a beautiful illustration on the cover.

03. Write a letter.

Many say that letter writing is a lost art, but I like to think of it as having increased in value. Nothing compares to receiving a handwritten letter in the mail. Reach out to a friend who doesn't live anywhere near you and send them a "hello" the old fashioned way.

04. Play a board game.

Board games are probably my favourite at-home activity. Choose one to play with your best friend or significant other or go all out and throw a board game party with a selection of games for groups. Some of my personal favourites: Scattergories, Clue, Monopoly (not for the faint of heart - the Monopoly Deal card game is a good alternative), and Life.

05. Try something new.
If it's cold where you are, knit yourself a pair of mittens. Pick up an abandoned cookbook in your kitchen and make something delicious. Go to a karaoke night at the pub down the street. Listen to a new genre of music. The possibilities are endless.
