Winter finally allows us to enjoy our life and take a break. So, these are the things that you can do in the winter to take show yourself some care:
1. Start a scrapbook or a photo album:
This is the time that you can collect things about your family. Make a scrapbook that you can keep close to yourself year around.
It might be difficult to find time out for such things but they are very important and can be a lot fun as well.
