Fun for the Entire Family!

It's week four of social distancing and non-essential lockdown here, and we're starting to adjust to this new normal. How are things going at your house? 

We've been getting creative about trying new things around here - we made our own sourdough starter over the past week and a half, and last night we had our first batch of sourdough bread (spoiler alert: it was delicious!). What new things have you been trying?

Toddlers & Preschoolers:

• Looking for new ideas? Check out these 75 At-Home Activities for Toddlers (they're great for preschoolers, too!)!
• Use recycled toilet paper rolls to make these cute bunny stamps! 

Elementary Kids:

• Make a bunch of these easy and versatile Popsicle Stick Boxes and organize all of your things!
• Like to draw? Try Doodling on Aluminum Foil for a fun new experience!

Tweens & Teens:

• These 20+ Free Printable Adult Coloring Pages are perfect for teens and older kids, too!
• I'm sure by now you've seen the awesome geometric chalk designs that have been going around, but have you ever thought about painting a whole Geometric Bedroom Wall? Super cool!

Grown-Ups:

Don't forget about yourself in the middle of all this chaos! Self-care is more important than ever right now, even though quiet moments can be hard to come by. Here are a few simple ways to practice self-care this week: 

• Read a book! I'm participating in The Book Girls Guide's read-through-the-decades challenge, and it's been a nice departure from my usual to-read list! Join their Facebook group for chats and book discussions.
• Take a bath - light a candle, pretend you're at a luxury spa, and soothe your soul! You can even add a Relaxing Bedtime Bath Bomb! 
• Get outside and take a walk! If the weather won't cooperate, get your body moving indoors with some gentle yoga stretches and poses. 

XOXO, Heidi
