​Life in COVID-19.... such fun.  Here are a few hacks I've found to help with our sanity and health during the pandemic.  Let me know what your crew is doing to stay sane as Texas encounters our big spikes this summer. 
 
  • Pantry battle busters = muffin tin, https://amzn.to/3ikH1NS.  Hear me out.... kids are home and unsupervised as we try to work remotely.  The amount of processed foods they were snacking on got to be ridiculous.  The muffin tin came to our rescue, esp. during ZOOM calls!  By filling up a tin with healthy fruits, veg, eggs, meats, nuts, etc, we have been able to have an easy snack option that is a bit more healthy
​
  • Getting the kids to use their imaginations and enjoy this "home time" has been aided with some cool projects.  Here are some of the best ones we enjoyed:

  • Sidewalk chalk, https://amzn.to/2Zmzgyo
    • We've done so many fun projects, but none compare to my amazing sister, Jennifer's front stoop
    • Peg Doll Painting, https://amzn.to/3dMMsSt 
      • These craft paints, https://amzn.to/2ZtxNX2, worked great and were done with super affordable brushes (you'll see my attempt at recreating "Under the Sea" but it looks like this mermaid may have been having too many Coronas by the pool)
    • ​Spirograph Jr., https://amzn.to/3gb9zYv
      • Such a nostalgic toy - this version is great for young kids
        •  My son created insignias for our family and put them on all our desks

  • Screen time consumption in our house has gone from "sorta' what I tell the pediatrician" to straight up embarrassing (Bennett may have found the end of the Internet on YouTube #justsaying).  To combat the digital addiction, we've been doing even more board games than usual.  For our family, these are total faves in quarantine:
    • Monopoly Mario Cart Gamer, https://amzn.to/2VyjFKV (faster and more fun with young kids than the original) #teamLuigi 
    • Guess Who, https://amzn.to/3ikRmcC (the best quick turn two person, adult/kid, game ever that aids in skills of deduction)
    • Catan, https://amzn.to/2VwX3dQ (a complex strategy game for grown-ups and a trading/building game for kids)

There are lots of other fun things we've done while staying home: gardening, organizing, checking out "drive thru" exhibits, and enjoying our backyard.  I hope to hear what you've been doing to make the most of these challenging times!
