QUARANTINE: Partner-tine or Solo-tine

Quarantine: Partner-tine or Solo-tine

Hi Everyone!!!Mental Health Check-In time….

So let’ stop and talk for a bit about this whole Quarantine situation. Feel free to share your quarantine situation with me if you want to, it might just end up on the blog. For real though how are you feeling, are you in quarantine alone, with a partner, with a child. These ideas came to mind as I thought of it as if I were in any one of the situations lol hope it helps!

PARTNER

Quarantine with a partner can be amazing once it is the right partner for sure. Hopefully, that partner is someone you are comfortable with, you can laugh with non-stop, you should have each other’s best interests at heart. Someone you can trust, who values you and knows your worth. During this time though still give your partner time to breathe and not be too attached during this time. Here are some fun ideas for couples quarantined together:

✔ Quarantine Date Nights (make them epic – indoor picnics, candlelight dinner) There are many great things that can be done indoors to make an epic date night.(Netflix and Chill isn’t date night…just saying that can be on other nights)

✔ Do a puzzle together, I mean an old school jigsaw puzzle.

✔ Cook together – enjoy cooking an amazing meal together.

✔ Get to know each other even more, just ask each other questions, play 21 questions…anything.

✔ Make future plans and talk about the serious stuff. Being home is going to have long term effects, take the time to sit, and start figuring it out from now to ensure that by the time everything ends things will be put in place.

✔ Listen to music with each other, dance, and just have fun in each others company, grab a bottle of wine that might make it even more interesting. Enjoy!

✔ Take dancing lessons using youtube.

✔ Enjoy an IG Live party together.

✔ Play video games together, this can be Superfun, especially if you are both game heads. This takes away from productivity but it does give you some time to laugh, have fun, and enjoy each other’s company. Play the romantic way though lol…how do you do that, lay across your partner or on your partner just keep close proximity.

✔ Exercise together, you don’t want to come out of quarantine with both you and your partner looking nothing like how you started. (You know what I mean!)

✔ Take on a DIY project together.

✔ Read together.

PARTNER WITH CHILD/CHILDREN OR SINGLE PARENT AND CHILD

Definitely take everything from the list in partners then add these activities with your children:

✔ Teach them, study with them. Though school might be closed it is not out. They have to be prepared for the next level.

✔ Exercise together.

✔ Read stories with/to them depending on their age.

✔ Play board games, this is always a great way to grow and learn more about your children.

✔ Have dance parties with them, they will have a blast with that.

✔ Bake with your children. (let me tell you about this one… I have to learn to bake by the end of the year…I lovvve cooking but baking is not my strong point)

✔ Bring outside as in the backyard, inside, camp in the house.

✔ Watch movies, not too many.

✔ Use a pool if the place is all hot a miserable. There are some you can order online if you don’t want to get out the house but need one.

✔ DIY projects there are many possible things they could do. They could make friendship bracelets for their friends.

✔ Play sports in the backyard help them exert some of that pent up energy.
✔ Build a Fort in the living room.

SOLO

Having that me myself and I moment, well take the time to focus on yourself and grow yourself. Come out of the quarantine as (Insert name 5.0) (Monifa 5.0).

✔ Netflix and Chill all on your own.

✔ Catch up with friends. Remember there is the Zoom app that you can use.
