101 Things to Do While Safe at Home

Hello, readers! I hope you are safe and well–wherever you might be in the world. Aren’t we living in the strangest of times?

Here in Oklahoma, we are beginning the 4th week of social distancing and my city is practicing sheltering-in-place. I have still been going to work each day but I am thankful for the extra time spent at home. I am a natural homebody and enjoy being home in my own space. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, and keeping the house super cozy. However, I totally understand that others might not feel the same way that I do and might be struggling with having to stay home. Some of you might be feeling bored or have run out of things to do to pass the time. Fret not! Today I am sharing a list of 101 things you can do while practicing social distancing and staying home.
