Great Corona19 quarantine tips roundup! #TrafficJamWeekend
These sound so fun, especially since I’ll likely stay in lockdown mode for a while longer – and I’m already coming up on 3 months!
We gotta stay busy! Thanks so much for linking up with me at my #UnlimitedMonthlyLinkParty 12, open May 1 to 26. All party entries shared if social media buttons installed.
These are some great ideas! Definitely will be trying some of these!
Great tips! As we head into the rainy and colder season, it’s great to have new ideas on things to help us get through the boredom of pandemic life. Thanks for sharing.
