What a crazy time this is! I’m among the majority of people who are stuck at home for an indefinite amount of time. I’m so grateful my husband and I have jobs that are fairly easy to do from home, but with my very active 3-year old, we definitely need all the activity ideas we can get! Here’s a few I’ve rounded up to help get us through the next few weeks. I’ll keep adding to this list, so please share your suggestions and tricks, too!
