Greetings from Quarantine. I have never felt more “In it” with parents in my life. This is not an easy situation and there are so many unknowns about the COVID-19 virus. However, what I do know is we have a choice of how we can handle it in our own homes. We are choosing to turn off news outlets for too long of a time to avoid fear and embrace time with each other. The first week was full of too much tv and sleeping in. This week I think we will do a little better at getting on a schedule. I included one that seemed simple below.
Here is a quick round-up of fun activities, printables, and resources for learning to help you make the most of your days at home with your kids. If you have a great resource to share, please drop it in the comments below so I can add it for my readers! If you need any type of support, feel free to email me at katelynyoung87@yahoo.com or message me on Instagram @_katelynyoung_.
