Hey Friends… How are you all doing this week? Here in Canada things started to get serious for the majority of the population on Monday ( March 16th )
We personally went on lockdown in our home Monday. The only time we go out of our home is to go for walks around our neighborhood or to our local beach. But no stores, outdoor parks or really anywhere with a surface that could hold Covid-19.
I wanted to come up with a list of 50 activities for adults to do inside during quarantine as we all prepare for the long haul.
So without further ado… here we go!
- Vacuum, Clean + Paint your baseboards
