Ah, it's that time of year again—football season is upon us! While many husbands are eagerly awaiting Sundays to cheer on their favorite teams, wives might be wondering how to make the most of these football-filled afternoons. If you're not a football fan yourself, or if you simply want to use this time to focus on your own interests, here are 10 fantastic ways to spend your Sundays when your husband is engrossed in the game.

 

1. Pamper Yourself with a Spa Day

Why not turn your bathroom into a mini-spa? Light some scented candles, play soothing music, and indulge in a bubble bath. You can also do a face mask, give yourself a manicure, or simply relax with a good book.

 

2. Host a Girls' Brunch

Invite your girlfriends over for a leisurely brunch. Prepare some delicious food, pop open a bottle of champagne for mimosas, and enjoy a few hours of uninterrupted girl talk.

 

3. Take a Fitness Class

Many gyms and fitness studios offer Sunday classes. Whether it's yoga, Zumba, or a spinning class, use this time to get in some exercise and boost your endorphins.

 

4. Explore Your City

Be a tourist in your own town. Visit a museum, take a walk in a nearby park, or explore a neighborhood you haven't spent much time in. You'll be surprised at what you might discover.

 

5. Get Crafty

If you enjoy crafting, this is the perfect time to dive into a new project. Whether it's knitting, scrapbooking, or DIY home décor, you'll have uninterrupted time to let your creativity flow.

 

6. Plan a Date Night

Use this time to plan a romantic date night for you and your husband. It could be a simple movie night at home, a dinner at a fancy restaurant, or even a weekend getaway. He'll appreciate the effort and you'll both have something to look forward to.

 

7. Take a Cooking Class

Many places offer Sunday cooking classes. This is a fun way to learn a new skill and you get to enjoy a delicious meal at the end. Plus, you can surprise your husband with your newfound culinary talents.

 

8. Catch Up on Your Favorite Shows

If your husband has taken over the TV for football, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on shows that you love. Grab your tablet or laptop, get comfy on the couch, and binge-watch to your heart's content.

 

9. Tackle a Home Project

Been meaning to organize your closet or redecorate the living room? Now's your chance. You'll feel productive and accomplished by the end of the day.

 

10. Do Absolutely Nothing

Sometimes, the best way to spend your time is by doing nothing at all. If you rarely get time to just relax, use this as an opportunity to do just that. Take a nap, lounge in your PJs, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
