It's that time of year when the weather is always perfect. The sun is shining, there are no clouds in sight, and it's warm enough to enjoy being outside without sweating too much.
But, of course, this also means that many people have more free time on their hands. So, how can you spend this time with your family? Here are some ways you can enjoy lazy weekends with your family.
Order Pizza and Watch a Movie
On a lazy weekend, you can enjoy family moments by being together in the comfort of your home. There are many ways to do this, and one is by ordering pizza from a restaurant such as Rosati’s pizza and watching a movie. It's pretty convenient, too, as you can sit back and relax while the pizza gets delivered to your doorsteps, and all you have to do is open it when it comes.
Today many television providers offer packages where they throw in free movies with their subscriptions, so this option could be cheaper than going out and watching a movie at the cinema.
Family moments don't have to be about going out and doing things where you will spend money, but they can also involve being together indoors and spending time with each other. It doesn't matter what you do as long as it's something that you enjoy and makes for quality family bonding time.
Host a Barbeque
Just because you have some extra time on your hands this weekend, there's no reason to stay locked up in the house. Instead, a little sunshine and a nice backyard barbeque might be just what you need to enjoy family moments.
Hosting a backyard barbeque is a great way to have everyone sitting down together having fun food and drinks. The key to enjoying your friends, family, or even just yourself lies in the planning of a stress-free get-together. While it might be counterintuitive not to plan every minute detail about your upcoming event, you needn't worry too much about it.
The key to a barbeque is the food you prepare and its time for each dish. If you spend all day cooking, there won't be enough hours left before your guests arrive, so make sure to plan out what everyone can bring.
You don't want people waiting around wondering when they will get to eat, so it's best to ask your friends and family members what they will bring ahead of time. This way, you can plan out the food and drinks accordingly, but don't forget that some people might not make it on such short notice.
Visit the Mall
Visit the mall on a lazy weekend. There are plenty of fun activities to do at the mall on Saturdays and Sundays, even if you don't have any shopping planned. Spend some time relaxing in one of the cafes or restaurants before heading off for an afternoon movie.
If you're not interested in watching anything too serious, check out which stores are hosting their free film festivals for the whole family.
The weekend is all about enjoying time with family. Hope the above tips will help you decide on what to do on a lazy weekend.
All wonderful tips. My favorite is cuddling up on the couch with my family and enjoy a movie.
ReplyDeleteFor us it's definitely about odering a takeaway and watching a movie. We usually try to get out and be active in the morning so the afternoon chill feels that much more sweeeter!
ReplyDeleteI like the first two, but the mall is out anymore. Now I want pizza. It's so good to do things with your family. Many families spend little quality time together.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, my friend. ♥
These are all great ways to enjoy time with the family on the weekend. I have fond memories growing up driving to the movie rental place to get a movie and then going next door to get pizza. Such good memories!
ReplyDeleteWe've done those first two often over the years. Don't see the mall often but plenty of fun shops to visit not far from home.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these ideas. Life is so difficult on a day-to-day basis. When it's time to unwind, we need to make the most of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet list of ideas! I will definitely be saving this for the future family fun nights.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love lazy Sundays! Staying at home watching movies is my favorite thing, especially during winter when it is cold outside, and I don't want to go out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to host a BBQ. My boys do the grilling and I get everything else together. We always have a fun time.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these! In fact, we love to order good food and have it delivered to our house.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fun to do, but backyard barbecue is the best for me.
ReplyDeleteA pizza and a movie marathon is what i always have in mind. Especially now that moat of us are encouraged to stay at home, it is a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with the family amd i think nothing beats watching movie or binge watching tv series together
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic suggestions! I personally LOVE a movie night with pizza, popcorn and maybe some wine! We recently bought a projector and it's perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteThese are good points to take into consideration. It is nice to take the time on weekends to relax and spend time together as a family.
ReplyDeleteBBq is fun with the family outside the house, great to spend time with each other.

Checking out the mall is a good one. That way, I get to exercise duly as I walk around! Thanks for sharing, Rosey!
ReplyDeleteGrilling together and having some activities outside is really one that makes us enjoy staying at home. Sometimes we do movie marathon too!!
