Quarantine survival kit: resource guide, discounts, and activity ideas

We’ve all been stuck in the great Coronavirus Quarantine limbo for a while now due to COVID-19, and it’s a weird time for us all! Some are using it to finish Netflix (hell ya!), some are using it to learn a new trade, and some are just getting downright stir crazy.

I’ve been working at home with my husband for over a year now and we’ve definitely learned a lot that I outline below.

I also have tonssss of resources, discounts/businesses to support, and things to do in your spare time.

Have fun and stay healthy!
