I am admitting I lost count of how long I have been staying home with the kids. Like many of your, I don’t know much difference from one day to another. Probably the most challenging though, I find the fact that I have to do so much – oversee kids’ schooling, keep my pre-schooler busy, keep up with work projects, and at least dream of organizing the house.
However, since I have to get creative, I came up with a list of different things to do when you are stuck at home with kids.
