If u want to warm up this is the perfect place to do it. Stop being lazy. New year, new you...right? Hop on the treadmill, take a class. Want to warm up and relax? A lot of Rockford gyms have steam rooms, saunas, and tanning beds too.

Book a trip somewhere warm

Be spontaneous! Even if it's just for a weekend. A lot of airlines have last minute deals on flights right out of Rockford.

Grab your favorite cuddle buddy and head to the movie theater

I have recently seen Hidden Figures and A Dogs Purpose with my daughter and would highly recommend them both. Plus you get to snack on that delicious popcorn. There are also some free movies airing this weekend at the Nordlof Center.

Go to one of the local shelters and adopt a dog or a cat
