If you enjoy cooking or want to do more cooking, then an herb garden is perfect for you. We currently grow basil and are planning to start growing rosemary and cilantro soon.
Herbs are pretty easy plants to keep alive. This starter kit comes with pots, seeds, soil, and plant markers. Growing plants is a good thing to learn.
10. Do Some Online Shopping

These are my favorite shops to purchase from online:
- Tubby Todd
- Target

Podcasts are good for listening to while doing dishes or exercising.

13. Have A Movie Marathon
Every now and then it’s so fun to have a relaxing day of watching movie after movie. Our favorite service for watching movies is Disney+.
There are a ton of options on here. We can watch old movies from our childhood or new Disney movies that were in theaters not too long ago.
14. Make Fresh Lemonade
I love the Lemonade all year long, but especially in the summer. Fresh squeezed lemonade is so refreshing. I’ve never made it, but it’s on my bucket list for this summer!
15. At-Home Workout
My favorite way to exercise is to go for a walk. That can be hard in the summer if you’re not able to go early in the morning or late in the evening.
Beat the heat by doing an indoor workout. My favorite workout video I’ve ever used is Jillian Michael’s Yoga Meltdown. She’ll get you sweating in no time!

I love fruit in the summer, and especially fruit smoothies.
My favorite fruit to put in smoothies is mango. This mango pina colada recipe from Our Sweetly Spiced Life is perfect for summertime.

I go in phases with reading, but when I’m in a phase I love to read. Reading in the bath or while laying in bed is so nice. I like books that are part of a series.
18. Play Video Games
I’ve never really been into video games, but I have a lot of fun playing Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Switch!
19. Bake A Fun Treat
We’re pretty obsessed with baked goods, and more specifically cinnamon rolls, around here.
This recipe from Minimalist Baker is our favorite recipe for cinnamon rolls! They’re easy and super delicious.
This is a favorite indoor activity of mine. Baking is another of my favorite indoor summer activities!
20. Play Board Games
Playing a board game is a great family activity. My family would play a lot of Yahtzee, so that’s one of my favorites.
