At the beginning of the year, I had so many plans for 2020. Then the Covid-19 pandemic came about and my life changed as well as everyone around he world. We would have to live in a world of social distancing. The last few years of my life have been about volunteering, going to events, working and enjoying life and the people around me. Now I was told that I would have to put space between myself and other people.
I am aware that these measures that we are taking now, will hopefully flatten the curve, while we try to get preventive measures for the virus. We have been home for over a month now and working from home and having to keep everyone entertained is sometimes difficult.
So how do we survive this #SocialDistancing and stay a family? You get creative that’s how. Sometimes we just go outside and throw a football around.
I was approached to work closely with several brands and they put together an awesome roundup of ideas that are perfect for all of us! What are your favorite ideas?
