Creating a Relaxing Atmosphere
The first step to a successful staycation is setting the mood. Turn your home into a relaxing retreat with these simple ideas:
I need to set the scene and create a relaxing atmosphere--The house hardly feels like an oasis! I love the idea of candles to take me to another place too!
I would like to declutter and have a relaxing spa day!
I definitely need to declutter and clean and create a better atmosphere for myself 💖💖 and then, movie marathon

I would say a game night or a bonfire night on our patio.
I like to read on my deck and watch the loons and geese on the lake. The eagles that I see sometimes are a bonus.
My favorite staycation idea is to spend a day perusing antique shops and boutiques in a nearby town, maybe get some lunch or dinner someplace new that I haven't tried, take the short drive back home, and then turn in for a good night's sleep in my own bed.
My perfect staycation would be a food delivered to my home, watching movies with my hubby. Having a cocktail or two out on our deck.
A perfect staycation is having a clean house and planning the day of jigsaw puzzle, movies, and sitting around a smokeless fire. We eat popcorn with the movie and make smores outside in the fire! It's always a lot of fun.
My staycation would include a spa and snacks.
My ideal staycation would be no cooking or household tasks and just being able to do my arts and crafts hobbies or watch some of my shows or movies.
My ideal staycation would blend relaxation and creativity. I'd start with a home spa day and a movie marathon with homemade snacks. Exploring new recipes, having an indoor picnic, and taking virtual tours would add variety. DIY projects, gardening, and a reading marathon would keep me engaged, while a new workout routine would keep me active. This mix of activities would make for a perfect staycation.
I would like to try the Virtual Travel activities. I would enjoy virtual travelogues, virtual museum tours, read books about a certain area, and cook and eat foods from that area.
