The first 16 days…
Welcome Back!
I’ve been thinking, since there’s so much time on everyone’s hands. I have time to write and y’all have time to read, so why not document what I have been up to these past 16 days of quarantine! Also how fun will it be to look back at the memories am I right.
So here we go, with some picture evidence, this is everything me and my household have been doing over these past 16 days.(by order of activity)
~ Going to the grocery stores
and realizing we should probably just stock up for two weeks to avoid the masses. We probably bought 8 dinners, snacks, drinks and no toilet paper because we have plenty lol.
~ PUZZLES. daily.
I have never been a “puzzle person” or “puzzler” if you will. But man do I enjoy a good puzzle now. For me it’s the idea of never having the large amount of time needed to complete one. I always would feel like I should be doing something else. But right now is the perfect time where I could just sit and do a puzzle for literally hours! Before we went full quarantine we went and got a 4 pack of 500 piece puzzles and a separate cat puzzle, as well as an ice cream puzzle we already had. 4 down currently, 2 to go…and more coming in the mail.
~ MOVIES and TV shows
We have been very grateful for Netflix and Hulu to get us through! But most importantly Disney plus! We get to catch up on all of the Disney classics, so many childhood memories and stories have been shared. We all have that list of stuff we want to watch but never get to right?! So this has been a fun time to sit as a family and watch a movie. some of our current favorites are:
- Little Women
- Lion King (strictly original)
- Nacho Libre
- Rango
- The Goldbergs
- The Great British Baking Show
- Pretty much any Disney movie
- Friends
~Reading!
This is a hobby I want to get into the longer we are in quarantine. I have a good amount of books waiting to be read, the only one that I finished a couple days ago is, “She” by Kate Spade. This beautiful, up lifting book, tells the memoirs of iconic women in America, mostly from the 1900’s. Most of them you’ve never heard of, but they are costume designers, set builders, interior designers, photographers, people who make the entertainment industry what it is! So this is clearly my suggested read if you can get your sanitized hands on it!
~ School/Homework
My sister and I both have school, me more than her because I am in my 3rd year of college. My mom is also a teacher so she is navigating this new world of technology as well. This is definitely the biggest stress point for me. I never take online classes specifically because I’m bad at them. And now, If I want to know anything, I have to go online, and it’s a nightmare. Pray that I get through this month and a half left! Anyways, our routine seems to be get up around noon (we are serious night owls) and do school work in the morning (afternoon), then hang out the rest of the day.
~ Working out…Kinda
I did dance and yoga for a number of years, and my sister plays softball. So we are familiar to being active, however I’m sure many people are finding out that it’s hard to just get up and work out. I’ve been trying to do a mile a day, but that hasn’t been very successful. My boyfriend and I just started a workout today that I want to try to do everyday to get better at! Us as a family have gone on a walk by a river, and we plan to do that more, as well as hit up some parks. Moral of the story, get out and get moving! It helps you not stay stir crazy!
~ Coloring Books
My family is pretty artsy, and even my mom who is the least artsy will do these adult coloring books. I accumulated around 4 of them as gifts for graduation, and now have tons of time to sit and color whatever I please! They are fun, vibrant and easy. Such a relaxing and rewarding activity. I wonder if I will finish a whole book by the end of the whole thing…
Our Curtains Broke..
So we just got new curtains maybe a month ago. And the middle prong just came out of the wall, requiring us to take them down and put up spare sheets. Aren’t they lovely? Don’t know when this will be fixed but plans are being discussed. It’s just really funny to go from really nice curtains to, “don’t rob our house, we got sheets for curtains,” ya know?
Cooking and Baking
Cooing and baking pretty much everything have become a huge hobby of mine. I cook pretty much every dinner here, and have baked bread and cookies so far! But we got more coming! I should post more recipes on here. Anyways I’ve loved have the time and liberty to cook whatever sounds yummy!
More over
We also have been playing video games, eating ice cream with family (6 feet apart) in my grandparents garage, skipping rocks on the river, stick race in the river, saving tons of money on gas, loving on our kitty, having deep conversations, going to church in our PJ’s, little worship sessions, and I’m sure I’m forgetting things.
I encourage you to document your own adventures to look back on in this time. We are in a era like no other, and it will be so fun to show this to future generations what we lived through.
I plan to keep documenting what my household is doing so keep a look out!
Until then,
Morgan!
