Self-care has never been more important than now. Just because you work from home and don’t have to wear real pants doesn’t mean you should neglect yourself. All those Zoom meetings may actually be causing your neck pain if you don’t have a proper desk and chair at home. It’s time for a little TLC and you deserve it after this year!

According to a recent U.S. Travel Association report, more than half of working Americans don’t use all of their paid vacation days. They forfeit an average of 212 million days, which is equivalent to about $62.2 billion in lost benefits. Most Americans struggle to disconnect from the daily demands of their work. Research shows that taking vacation time actually increases your productivity by making you more resilient, improving cognitive function, creativity, and problem-solving.

There is nothing more relaxing than arriving at your home away from home and shutting the computer down after a long work week and parking the car for the weekend.

It’s finally here! The snow is falling and the slopes are opening. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to book your family ski weekend in the White Mountains.

The weather in the White Mountains in the spring can be unpredictable. Somedays it’s 70 degrees and sunny and other days it feels just like winter again. It's fun to spend your days outside hiking, biking, and exploring the best of Lincoln, but somedays Mother Nature has different plans for you.

For those unpredictable days, you should have some rainy-day alternatives planned just in case Mother Nature decides that the mountains need a little more rain for the flowers to bloom in time for summer. Here are some fun indoor things to do in the White Mountains!

A wise man who once lived in Franconia, New Hampshire said, “two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost spent a lot of time in the White Mountains and one visit to the region in the spring (or anytime of the year) will show you why literature greats like Frost and Nathaniel Hawthorne fell in love with the White Mountains. Springtime is one of the most beautiful times of year to visit Lincoln.  

As the snow begins to melt, the rivers start flowing a bit higher and faster, the gardens and wildlife flowers begin to bloom, and the mud puddles are found in abundance around town. Despite the mud, Spring in the White Mountains is a beautiful time of year to visit. The winter crowds are packing up their skis until next year’s big snowfall and the summer crowds have yet to arrive making the area a perfect place to visit if you’re looking for a quiet escape to the mountains.

Spring is all about rebirth and renewal. It’s finally time to shed the multiple layers of wool and down now that the temperatures are above freezing. Chances are, your skin is a bit dry and dull from the long winter. A relaxing weekend at the spa is just what your skin, body and mind need to renew itself for the warmer months ahead.

The weather in the White Mountains can be unpredictable, especially during the winter months. While we would all love to have endless bluebird ski days, somedays, Mother Nature decides otherwise. It’s not uncommon for the mercury to drop below zero or for a freak snowstorm to occur in the White Mountains. Thankfully, when the weather turns, you can still have fun!
