Fun Things To Do On The Weekends At Home:
These are some fun ways to unwind and enjoy your weekends at home.
1. Have a movie night at home
Cozy movie nights at home are so fun and chill. You could rent a movie or rewatch your favorite movie. Bring out the fluffy blankets and pillows to create a cozy space, and this may be your new favorite weekend activity. Just don’t forget the popcorn!
I have been eyeing this popcorn maker over on Amazon. It has over 4.5 stars, and it’s super cute. I think it would make a good movie night addition.

2. Bake your favorite dessert
Baking is so fun and therapeutic. I like to listen to music while I bake to make it even more enjoyable. Chocolate chip cookies and brownies are probably my favorite desserts to bake. You could make your go-to dessert or try a new recipe. I find so many yummy recipes on Pinterest as well.
3. Redecorate a room
Give a space in your home a refresh. You can move furniture around, organize, and add some new decor pieces to make your space feel fresh.
4. Journal
Journaling is a great way to unwind after a long week. This is one of my favorite ways to get my thoughts down on paper and clear my mind. Some fun things to journal about are – future goals, things you are grateful for, or something you are proud of.
I’ve been using this gratitude journal to reflect on my day. I like it because it is simple, and it helps me focus on the positive things in life.
5. Facetime a friend
Another fun thing to do on a weekend at home is to Facetime a friend and catch up. You could make it a date and drink a cup of coffee or tea while you chat about your week via Facetime.
I have a phone stand similar to this one, and it allows you to Facetime hands-free. My arm would always hurt and get tired while holding the phone, so this is a must-have for me.
6. Binge watch a nostalgic show
This is one of my favorite things to do when I get time to myself. I love watching shows from my childhood and teen years. If you are a millennial, these shows might bring back nostalgic vibes for you too.
Nostalgic shows to watch:
- Lizzie Mcguire
- That’s So Raven
- Boy Meets World
- Sister Sister
- Moesha
- One Tree Hill
- Gilmore Girls
- What I Like About You
Leave your favorite nostalgic TV. shows in the comments!
7. Do a self-care activity
Some self-care ideas you can try are going for a walk, listening to a podcast, scrolling social media, or reading your favorite book. Do any activity that brings you joy.
