Seven Things I Have Been Doing in Isolation to Pass the Time

I thought other than sharing a bunch of activities that I know I won’t be doing. I’d share a list of things that I have been doing whilst at home in isolation. I’m hoping that it inspires you, as I know it can be hard to constantly find things to do. Some days are definitely more difficult than others, but the sooner we get the hang of staying at home, the sooner we should be able to get out.

With that being said this is: Seven Things I Have Been Doing in Isolation to Pass the Time

Disney Plus

If you’re a Disney lover then this is a must. It has pretty much everything, so I’m sure you’ll find something on there. As I’m writing this I currently have the classic Aladdin on in the background. I would also hugely recommend The Imagineering Story, especially if you have a love for the theme parks, it’s just a shame that not all of the episodes are available yet.

Animal Crossing

I know you’re probably fed up of hearing about this, because it seems to be a huge talking point at the moment, but I love it. It’s got such a relaxing atmosphere which is perfect considering everything that is going on in the world at the moment. Plus with it being a slow moving game, it means there is something do everyday.

Taking Ralph For a Walk

I find that it’s essential to get out of the house for the allotted daily exercise, as the fresh air is really beneficial and stops me from going stir crazy. Plus I have to take Ralph out too, as he still needs his walk. I try to keep away from the local shops or anywhere where I know there is going to be multiple people. It’s strange to have to cross the road to avoid people, but I guess it’s necessary.

Reading Other Blogs

Reading other blogs has always been a great inspiration for me, but I have especially loved reading them in the past week. It’s nice to still have something to read whilst all of this is going on. I’d also love some recommendations of bloggers, as I’m always on the lookout.

Focusing on Instagram

I have been really loving Instagram lately, from posting and being active on my stories. Taking and editing photos also takes me quite a bit of time, so it keeps me busy during the day. I’ve just really enjoyed creating content, and sharing parts of my day on my stories. I’ve never really used the feature that much, but I love it now!

Planning Blog Content

As much as I love creating content for Instagram it goes the same for my blog. I’ve enjoyed brainstorming and planning content. I know I took some time off, as I was struggling with inspiration, but after the break I feel like it’s back and I’ve got some ideas planned.

Cooking and Baking

If you follow me on Instagram then you may have seen that I have been baking and trying to cook more often. I made chocolate muffins which I shared on the blog in 2018. I’m planning on doing cookies next, as those are my favourite things to bake. With cooking I made my own Carbonara sauce which was delicious. I’m thinking about sharing the recipe here; if that is something you would like to see?

There we have it! That was Seven Things I Have Been Doing in Isolation to Pass the Time. I hope you’ve found this post helpful!

Stay Safe!

What have you been doing whilst in Isolation?

Thank you for reading!

Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
