What are some other good things we could do together besides TV, which I'm bored with lately?

Please only non-sexual answers. We're not having issues in that department.

We read or play board games. Sometimes we listen to an album all the way though. DH is really into jazz and is trying to expand my aural palate.

I think doing puzzles as well as playing board games are both excellent ideas.

How about also learning how to play something brand-new?

I have always longed to learn how to play chess ♟.
And also Scrabble.

Yoga.
Board game.
Prep for tomorrow night's dinner together.
Bake.

Assume you mean after kids are in bed, so you can't go on a walk. Do you have a fire pit? SIt around it and talk. Play MadLibs, Uno, or a short board game. Twister!

Art projects are a fun family activity!

I literally made myself a list of things to do and wrote it on my white board the other day to get myself out of the habit of just watching Hulu on my MacBook every night. (I don't even have a TV!)

Puzzles--crossword, jigsaw, solo games like cat stacks or rush hour etc, solitaire etc. I really like Games World Of Puzzles magazine.

Embroidery

Workout snacks--grab the dumbbells and do bicep curls or bent rows or 50 squats or whatever.

Yoga

meditation

Read

Write letters

metal stamping

spoon carving (I took two hour classes a year ago on metal stamping, wood burning and spoon carving and haven't done them since.)

walk or bike ride depending on the weather

menu planning

mani-pedi (I need this, it's not an indulgent thing at this point.)

Dungeons and Dragons

Plan a trip fir when this is all behind us

De-caf coffee and chat

De-caf coffee and chat

Virtual ballroom dance

Taste new wine or beer
Charcuterie board
Snuggle and listen to a podcast
Foot scrub or face mask
Massages

we play 7 little words on an app. we kind of work together on it. it's a word game.

Take a walk, do a workout together, play a card or board game, plan something together (vacation, etc.), listen to a podcast, bake something together, paint night, just talk...
