50 Things to Do Stuck at Home
Amidst the growing health concerns surrounding COVID-19, many, including myself, are choosing to practice “social distancing”, and/or self quarantine to prevent the spread of the virus. This is honestly a really wild time in our history. Schools, bars, restaurants, churches, and pretty much every public event has been cancelled or postponed. Even if you aren’t intentionally self quarantining, you pretty much are being forced to stay at home with everything closing! I wanted to try to provide some ideas of what to do when you are at home and bored!
