Just like you, we are always looking for ways to keep ourselves and our family busy and active as we adjust to the new normal of “Stay home. Stay healthy”. Every day we are giving you a list of 14 things to keep us sharp, in shape, stimulated, busy, or entertained during these unprecedented times. Do one a day for 14 days, or tackle the entire list at once. Just make sure to check back every day for something new.
Right now many of us are still adjusting to this new normal. Balancing work, family, and home-schooling can be challenging, and we’d like to help. We’ve created a list of fantastic education resources that can benefit the whole family.
