Bake a Cake or Other Desert: Find a recipe and bake with a yummy desert as a family. This time would be a great time to teach your child life skills and you can start with baking.

Family Spa Night: Take a night and pamper yourselves by hosting a family spa night.   It could be as simple as face masks and manicures. You can have fun with it and have everyone wear their bathrobes and drink cucumber infused water.

Design Your Dream Home: Have the entire family design their dream home. They can design it on paper, Powerpoint, or a free website like Homestyler. Encourage everyone to include as much detail as possible.  At the end of the night, have every family member present their dream home. It will be fun to see how everyone designs their home and incorporates their own personality and passions.
