How many of you thought this year in 2020 was going to be one of your best years of your life or it was going to be the best year ever?

Well that was me thinking back in December 2019, that this year in 2020 was going to be one of the best because we were going to own a house, my 2nd daughter will be going to school and the husbands company will officially start. Little did we know, the America got a stay at home order for 15 days to slow the spread of this Coronavirus also known as Covid-19.

I never watch the news on tv, I would read it online but ever since this virus happened, I have watched about it everyday, especially from the federal government.

Our stay at home order in Las Vegas began on March 17 to slow the spread of Covid-19. It was supposed to be only for 15 days but when the 15 days was almost done the President extended another 30 days up till April 30.

At this time, I have been having anxiety, sleeping problems and a part of the reason is we just moved in and my side of the bed was facing the window with a street light (our backyard is on a main highway) and I wasnt used to things. We did have blinds but there not good. I was also hesistant on buying curtains yet.

All throughout my 20s and 30s, I was always working outside and it was finally nice to be working from home. After living in our new house, I felt tired of being home. I wanted to work at home but I couldnt feel productive or focused because of my 2 small children. I found my days as always cooking, cleaning, picking up after the kids. 

After the 15 days, I told myself in April that I am going to do things I want to do.

Here are some things you and your family can do at home during the pandemic.
