Because we like little Sundays warm indoors, here are some tips to make your days a success smoothly.
Sleep in
A successful day of cocooning begins as soon as you wake up… who can be desired. Ah! Late morning! Of course, the younger the age of the children, the shorter the morning, but we still have fun, spending a few moments under the duvet, everyone together. Even if it means having breakfast in bed!
Watching a movie in bed
A cocooning day inevitably rhymes with “cinema”. A movie in bed, glued on top of each other, is a great way to break the routine a bit. If you prefer the afternoon or end of the day cinema, don't forget the popcorn and wrap yourself in a cozy blanket on the couch. Looking for a movie idea? Take a look at our list of old movies to rewatch with your kids. After all, nostalgia goes wonderfully well with cocooning.
We stay in pajamas
And once you get out of bed, of course you stay in your pajamas. Our favourites: pajamas with legs! The fashion is also for flannel suits equipped with a hood, and there are also some for adults. This is the opportunitydream of becoming, like your princess, a beautiful unicorn!
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is also important when you want to treat yourself to a satisfying cocooning day. Candles (always out of reach of children), music, soft lights… If your candles are not scented, you can also burn incense, sage, or essential oils.
Hot Chocolate & Co
In cocooning mode, we don't think about calories and fiber. We think “ hot chocolate ”, “patties and cookies ”, “muffins steaming, fresh out of the oven ". Anything that feels good and warms the heart! For mom, we can swap the hot chocolate for a small glass of wine…
Play
A cocooning day is the perfect opportunity to tackle our PÀL (pile to read): this mountain of books that storms the bedside table and never, ever seems to come down. On the contrary!
No need to feel guilty about sitting down and reading while your kids are around. By doing so, you are setting a positive example for them and helping to give them a taste for reading. Besides, we bet that you will soon have a little chick who will come and settle down nearby, with, in his hands, his favorite book.
Board game
After reading, let's play! We too rarely treat ourselves to long sessions of board games. During a game, we discuss, we laugh, we also learn to know certain traits ofbehavior of our children. As its name suggests, the board game allows the child to learn to function by following certain rules, as in society. But it's also, above all, a great way to have fun!
Comfort Meal
We end this perfect day with a comforting meal. Macaroni with cheese, shepherd's pie, stews of all kinds. The slow cooker is popular, as are the soups and the onion soup au gratin. Yum! The spaghetti sauce that has been cooking all afternoon smells of the house and also adds to the cocooning atmosphere.
And if we decided to limit our efforts as much as possible, we can also have a pizza delivered.
