Hello lovelies,
Who would have thought that 2020 would start off like this? a global pandemic that doesn’t seem to be going away as soon as we hoped.
So for today’s blogpost, I thought I’d share with you some of the things you can do whilst isolating. For me, someone whose got chronic illnesses, isolating isn’t really a big deal but I know for thousands, if not millions of people worldwide, isolating can be a daunting thought.
Before having Mabel, I didn’t really have a routine and now that she’s here and she has a pretty strong routine going, the thought of going back to no routine makes me feel stressed. I know that’s the case for many people when it comes to the isolating for what could be weeks. Covid-19 isn’t just hitting people physically, it’s also hitting people mentally so I just wanted to share a few little things you can do to not only get a routine going, but to take your mind off everything that’s going on in the world currently.
I’ve been racking my brains for a few days now on different things you can do to keep your mind active. So I’ve broke it down into sections for you! let’s get into it…

I really hope this helped you get ideas on how to spend your time whilst in isolation. I know it’s especially hard for some people to know what to do with their time. I’ll be uploading weekly to help distract you from what’s currently going on, I know it only takes you a few minutes to read my posts but if it helps take your mind of all this for just a moment, then I’m happy.
I hope everyone is staying safe. It’s crucial that we abide by the rules and isolate to help prevent the spread and help protect those who are vulnerable like myself. By staying indoors your saving people’s lives!
Sending you all tons of love and hugs as always,
