While 2020 was a roller coaster of emotions, this year doesn’t have to be. These hacks will help you navigate the new norm this year — and make sure 2021 kicks off on a stress-free note.

MAKE YOUR HOME COZY

Make your home extra cozy this season since everyone is still spending more time at home. Missing family members who can’t visit? Incorporate their photos into your decor to invoke family memories and to feel closer. Cheery decor can improve your entire vibe — so whether you deck the patio with string lights, buy some new cozy candles or spice up your bar cart with festive beverages, embrace the athome life.

PROTECT YOUR PACKAGES WITH INGARAGE DELIVERY

START A NEW FAMILY TRADITION

Since life is slowed down and everyone is snuggled in at home, consider making the most of the situation and putting some extra thought into starting a new family tradition for special days in 2021. Try experimenting with new delicious family recipes (perhaps spark some friendly competition with a bake-off over Zoom?), having an online trivia party for your birthday or maybe even try building an ice-skating rink or putting green on your lawn.

ENTERTAINING AND NEED EXTRA SPACE TO SPREAD OUT? CONSIDER YOUR GARAGE

Your garage is an extension of your home and can be a great place this year to remain socially distant.

If you’re entertaining and need extra space to spread out, why not utilize your garage? The indoor/outdoor space lets in fresh air and creates additional room for hosting loved ones.

Also, try adding space heaters, twinkling lights, some fun music and pour the hot cocoa!
