Back in the autumn, we enjoyed our first 30 Days Cosy challenge over on Instagram. The challenge offered thirty prompts to help make each day a little calmer and a little more joyful. Now that spring has arrived, we decided to bring 30 Days Cosy to the blog and give it a makeover to suit the new season. We call it a challenge, but there’s no pressure here – just enjoy these cosy spring activity ideas when they suit you best.
Whether you’re journaling by an open window, sipping something floral, or pressing petals into a notebook, these activity prompts are here to help celebrate the season with creativity, intention and warmth.
