One of the activities may just be using a toy in rotation we haven’t played with in a while like magnatiles or water blocks. I’ll reference this blog post I put together with activity ideas but also include things like: tea parties, fort building, playing doctor with baby dolls, setting up a restaurant with our play kitchen, FaceTiming friends and family. During this time I’ll try to include an educational activity for Piper and sensory play. I will try to mix this up every day and have 2-3 ideas ready to occupy a full hour. Some easy, low-mess ideas that don’t require you too much: stamps, coloring books, rotate toys or games, playdough.Ĩ-9am: First structured activity of the day. My girls are pretty good at independent play in the morning, but if your kids are younger you can set out simple activities, prompts or stations for them. I’ll stop working at 7am to get their breakfast ready, but then will probably be able to squeeze in at least another 30 minutes of work in this block. *I’ll plan to be sleeping by 9/9:30pm to get enough rest.ħ-8am: Hoping the girls will sleep until 7am, we are going to get out the wait-to-wake alarm clock again. Also planning on getting dressed and not living in PJs. Here’s an overview of what I plan to do with the girls and I’ve also shared a bit more about each item below.įor reference, my daughters are 2 and 4 1/2 years old.Īlso wanted to share my Amazon shops for sensory play & art supplies in case you need ideas!ĥ-7am: I plan on getting up early as much as I possibly can so I can get in 2 solid hours of work, drink my coffee in peace and just gather myself before the day. We are practicing social distancing to our best ability and not visiting with friends, avoiding places where there will be lots of people and keeping our distance. It will be loose and fluid but if I’ve learned anything as a parent it’s that routine is the key to success. Heading into the next few weeks of isolation I knew I needed a plan in order to get some work done and also keep the three of us from going crazy, so I put together a schedule we are going to try. We aren’t sure when/if my husband will be able to work remotely, hopefully soon but for now it’s just the girls and I. Which means I need to continue working as hard as I possibly can with both of my girls at home. Which means coming up with things I can share with this community to make this challenging time any bit more manageable for you.īecause I’m a small business owner, and owning a blog a isn’t necessarily your typical business, I don’t know yet exactly how this health crisis will affect our income, but it’s something I’m worrying about. It kind of feels like we are living in a dream, is this really happening? I’m trying to stay calm and focus on what I can control right now, be grateful for our current health and food we have access to and stay busy by pouring myself into my work. Being an already anxious person and pregnant during Covid-19 doesn’t help. Like a lot of people in this country right now, I’m starting to get more and more anxious every passing day.
