February might be the shortest month of the year, but it doesn’t mean it’s short on things to do!
It’s the perfect time to catch up on goals, prep for spring, and make the most of this cosy winter month.
Here’s a friendly guide to help you stay on top of February with a mix of practical tasks and fun ideas.

1. Plan Your Month in Your Notebook
If you haven’t already, grab yourself a notebook. Not just any notebook though. You all know how much I love notebooks, so I was excited to design some new ones for you.
I have two cute designs for you to choose from.
In your new notebook, jot down what you want to get done this month.
Whether it’s school projects, work goals, or personal projects.
February is all about making small but meaningful progress. Bonus: add a splash of creativity with doodles, stickers, or fun headers to keep it exciting!
2. Declutter and Organise
February is a great time for a little winter cleaning.
Go through your wardrobe and pack away any heavy winter clothes you’re no longer using.
Sort through your junk drawer (we all have one!) or clean up your digital space by organising your emails and files.
Starting spring with less clutter feels amazing.

3. Celebrate Valentine’s Day (Your Way)
Whether you’re into big celebrations or keeping it low-key, Valentine’s Day is a fun excuse to spread love.
I have a post on how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Kids, filled with activities for the whole family.
4. Focus on Your Health
We’re deep in winter now, so take some time to check in with yourself.
It’s that time of year when our mental and physical health suffers.
Are you drinking enough water? Getting outside for fresh air?
Try setting small health goals for February. Walking more or swapping one snack for a healthier option.
Try these home workouts without equipment to get yourself in the best shape for summer.
5. Prep for Spring (Yes, Already!)
Spring might feel far off, but it’s closer than you think.
I love spring and summer, not just because it’s warmer but because it’s literally a fresh start. Fresh leaves, baby animals and longer days.
Speaking of babies….. I am due to have my third less than 9 weeks. So this post is just what I personally need right now too.
Start brainstorming projects like gardening, updating your wardrobe, or planning fun outdoor activities.
If you have a garden, February is a good time to check your tools or map out what you want to plant.
Do you have children like I do? Well then, now is a good time to plan summer fun days out, activities and holidays.
6. Tackle Your Finances
February is a great time to check on your budget.
Are there any subscriptions you can cancel? Is there a small savings goal you can set?
If you’re filing taxes, start gathering the documents you’ll need. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re not scrambling to meet deadlines!

I also have a useful post on mindful spending strategies.
7. Enjoy Winter Activities
Before winter melts away, take some time to enjoy it!
Go ice skating, build a snowman (If you have snow), or curl up by the fire with a good book. Even if you’re not a fan of the cold like me, February can still be magical.
8. Plan for Random Acts of Kindness Day (February 17th
February 17th is all about spreading kindness. So get the kids involved too.
Plan small acts like leaving a sweet note for someone. Paying for the person behind you in line, or just texting a friend to say you’re thinking of them.
You can also download my Kindness Challenge Chart. Full of ideas to do each day to help teach your children and ourselves to be kind.
9. Reflect on Your New Year’s Resolutions
Remember those goals you set in January?
February is the perfect time to revisit them. Are they going well, or do you need to adjust?
Don’t stress if you’ve fallen off track. Just pick one small thing to focus on this month and keep moving forward.
No started New Year Resolutions? It’s never too late.

10. Treat Yourself
Don’t forget to carve out some “me time.”
Whether it’s a spa day at home or ordering your favourite takeout. Maybe it’s binge-watching a series you’ve been dying to see.
February is a reminder that self-care is just as important as ticking off your to-do list.
