Fun Family Activities You Can Do Today

March 25, 2020 Comments : 6

Let’s face it, being stuck at home is hard for us all. I️ know this especially rings true for families who are now working from home instead of an office and doing schoolwork at the kitchen table instead of in a classroom. For me, things aren’t drastically different since I️ spend most of my time at home with three young kids. With that said, knowing that we can’t go to the playground, to Trader Joe’s, or to soccer and swim lessons is a little bit sad for all of us. My girls keep asking to go places and we have to tell them no on repeat. After a full week of practicing social distancing at home, we decided to drive out on Sunday and have a little bit of fun – without leaving our vehicle! It got me thinking about some new ideas for keeping the kids entertained and I️ realized we had already done some fun, out of the ordinary things over the past week that I️ wanted to share with you guys! I️ know many of us mamas are leaning on one another during this time, commiserating and sharing brilliant ideas, so I️’m hoping this post with 25 fun family activities will inspire you in the days and weeks to come!

Cinnamon Roll Recipe

When all else fails, make sure you have wine! Kidding…but not really. Despite the circumstances, I️ feel like we’ve handled social distancing pretty well and I️ have good intentions to do more of these fun family activities over the next few days and weeks while we’re all at home together! It’s easy to feel negative about the whole situation – after all, it’s not in our nature to stay home 24/7 – but take some time to enjoy this extra time you have with your family since this is not the norm for most of us! <3

Have you done any fun family activities that I️ didn’t mention? Please share in the comments!

    I’m such a big fan of your muffin tin lunches. I just think it’s the cutest idea, ever. I keep saying I’m going to try this with my son, who’s practically a 6 ft man, because I think he’d get a good laugh out of it…and secretly like it a bit too! Happy you’re keeping those sweet girls busy.

      Aww! You should totally try it and get a good laugh out of it! It’s basically like a charcuterie tray, so we can all get enjoyment out of it! 🙂

A little glimpse of what’s most important in lif A little glimpse of what’s most important in life - family, togetherness, snuggles ❤️ I’ll be honest and say that running a business takes a lot out of you, and some days I question whether it’s worth it. There is another business that has been out to get me since I started, and yesterday they tried to win. I all but gave up yesterday. It just didn’t feel worth it to put up a fight when I could go back to my ‘old’ life of being a mom, blogger, and freelance writer (all 3 of which I’ve sucked at since starting my charcuterie biz). I felt guilty for spending 6 months of my life growing a business and then letting it fall apart. I felt guilty for all the time spent away from my family because I was so busy and could barely keep up. And then I remembered why I was so busy, it’s because people appreciate my work and love what I do. I built a brand that people respect and all of that hard work is most definitely worth it when I see how far I’ve come in the past 6 months. This is a reminder for all of us to never give up and never let the enemy win. ❤️

Slowly getting back to normal over here after the Slowly getting back to normal over here after the holidays, but not gonna lie, it’s been a rough week 🥴 Between getting back into the swing of early wake ups for school, a teething baby who hasn’t felt well all week, whatever is happening with our country these days, plus doing a veggie cleanse and not having full energy....let’s just say, I’m looking forward to better, brighter days 😆 How’s your first week back after the holiday break? Hopefully it’s been better than mine 🤣🤣

I joke about it being a ‘dumpster fire,’ but I have appreciated all of the extra time at home with my family, not feeling the pressure to always be on the go and of course, launching my business @somethingbleuclt! ✨ I hope you have time for a moment to reflect on your year and find the good moments and hold onto those memories ❤️
