So we can walk in our neighborhood, ride bikes, walk a dog, etc. It was nice out today and my husband was home from work, so we started spring yard clean up. Otherwise, I've been doing doing yoga youtube videos too (love Adriene! - I do her gentle flows) and organization projects. I even tried my hand at acrylic painting the other day. I've been taking walks around the neighborhood unless it's raining. I've cooked just about every night and did some baking and shared it with my neighbor-friend down the street (left it on their doorstep).Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-36716936050655100582020-03-25T18:26:13.529-04:002020-03-25T18:26:13.529-04:00I'm staying home more than usual - I don't...I'm staying home more than usual - I don't go out much anyone, but like to go to the library (closed), the thrift stores (closed), the fabric store (closed) and NEED to go to the grocery stores now and then. We're trying to plan one trip to do it all in the next few days. At home, I'm doing my usual crafting (with paper) and trying some new things.. doing some organizing that I had put off, some cleaning (also put off!), and making some cards to send out to friends and family for a little "pick me up". I have never liked puzzles but do love crossword puzzles and Solitaire, so I play those on my tablet. I love to read so doing alot of that. I've ordered a little more online these days, than I normally do.. so every few days, I have something fun coming in the mail! Even little things that don't cost much, get shipped and it's fun getting them (mostly for crafting). One of these days I may even attempt to paint my little antique night stand white!

I manage to get a few things done around the house during breaks also, so that's a huge bonus for me as there are NEVER enough hours in the weekends for me!!

I had enough problems putting together the Playschool puzzles when I was a kid. I may try that chair yoga tomorrow!!

We have a stay at home order here in Illinois but they do allow you to go out and walk your dog or take a walk. So I am thankful for that. We just have to try to get out as much as our crazy weather up here in Illinois allows. Today it is 60 and sunshine. Buddy and I will take a good walk today. Puzzles really help the brain stay focused and clear. I love doing puzzles too. I mostly did them with my grand girls.<br />Stay safe and glad you are finding happy with being home bound.<br />xoxoJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-89355203031007660462020-03-25T10:09:29.143-04:002020-03-25T10:09:29.143-04:00I used to love to do jigsaw puzzles, but can you i...I used to love to do jigsaw puzzles, but can you imagine what Ivy would do with those pieces scattered about? I'm planning my patio garden, ordering supplies. I go out on the patio and enjoy the new growth. I pretty much stick to my regular schedule because I didn't go out all that much to begin with.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.com
