If you’ve left Mother’s Day prep to the last minute this year, there are still things you can do to make it special for your mom—even if you’re on a tight budget or celebrating from a distance.
I’ll be honest—being ordered to stay home is kind of a dream come true for me, so I’m not having much of a problem with the recent stay-at-home directive issued to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you’re a home body or not, though, a few ideas for how to keep occupied during an enforced stay at home may be helpful. Here are 19 ideas to keep you busy at home—hopefully they’ll inspire you!
As someone with OCD, I can appreciate the benefits of a little anxiety—but depriving half the population of toilet paper at a time like this? It’s a bit much. So keep calm, keep clean, and keep away from other people. Buy only what you need, wash your hands with soap and water (no, it does not need to be antibacterial soap—the coronavirus is, as its name implies, a virus, not a bacteria), and carry on. We’re going to get through this, people. Well, you are. OCD, much like the coronavirus, does not currently have a cure, so I’ll be staying in Germaphobia for the foreseeable future. But hey, I appreciate the visit—thanks for not popping my bubble.
