Covid-19 Resources for Mum

If you’re self isolating, and at home with your kids, it can be overwhelming to think of the amount of time you’ll be together. Unstructured time where you have no idea what you’re doing.

Well have no fear, I’ve got some resources to help you. Including 70+ things for you to do with your kids!

First and foremost I need to tell you: yes it’s a stressful time, but please don’t stress about being at home. It doesn’t have to be educational all the time – you do not need to take the place of the teacher.

Just simply do your best. Remember that your kids have no idea – they’re chuffed just to be with you at home.

2. DAILY PLANNER

You can create your own daily schedule with times, in the “Today’s Schedule” section, or just write down a rough run through. Pick a few things from my 70+ Things To Do With Kids list and add them to your schedule.
