Make something, Do something, Clean something
I was inspired this week by a friend who is posting on Instagram each day something she made, something she did (movement), and something she cleaned or organized. I love this! I think this is a good way to give purpose to my days, other than the usual routines of eat, sleep, household chores.
Make something - I have been making a new recipe every day, but today I expanded the "make something" to my children. My daughter did an Instagram Live drawing lesson today and drew a lovely vase of tulips. My son solved riddles that were told to him by our housemate, Google Home. I cooked several meals and put them in the freezer, and made a fresh loaf of bread in the bread maker I forgot we own! I still have homemade peanut butter cups on my list of things to make today!
Do something - my son is running each day because he is determined to be ready for the track season that was supposed to start next week. I don't have the heart to tell him yet that the season will likely be cancelled because he is so looking forward to it. My daughter and I did an online exercise video. She is much more coordinated than me, but we had fun.
Clean something - my son cleaned off his desk. It was a mess!! He found an unused $20 gift card and enough food crumbs to feed us for a week. We also vacuumed the couch and cleaned the cushions. Enough for one day.
I'm hoping this will help keep us focused and feeling accomplished throughout this period of isolation. Next week we will have to add in home school activities as school has been cancelled until April 13th.
