I would wither away and die if I didn’t have access to creativity. You could say that’s just me. But I know for a fact that expressing yourself through creative activities can be soul-nourishing and that’s why I encourage my kids to allow their creative juices to flow any way they feel.

When you have to spend your time at home, you explore the old games and DVDs you haven’t used in years. And there, suddenly, forgotten at the back of the shelves, you stumble upon an old DVD box of the Inspector Morse.

So here we are, smack bang in the middle of a pandemic and many of us on lockdown. There’s fear and panic in the air and uncertainty that has us all freaked out.

With the help of my readers and social media I’ve put together a quick post on how to keep the kids busy so you can get some shit done, reminders to take care of ourselves and things to do as a family.
