So far, so good around here. Our family is healthy, I&#8217;m so thankful to say, and we&#8217;re <em>mostly<\/em> sane. My house, on the other hand, is a disaster. It&#8217;s never been messier or more cluttered and yet I feel like I&#8217;m constantly cleaning it? Oh well. It&#8217;s hard to complain when we&#8217;re so fortunate to be able to be home, safe and sound. I think of all the millions of people who are out there working to care for us and keep the country running, and it&#8217;s such a welcome dose of perspective on what it really means to be struggling right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-pin-description=\"What I Love This Week\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/homemade_playdough-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/homemade_playdough-1.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/homemade_playdough-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/homemade_playdough-1-680x1020.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/homemade_playdough-1-624x936.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things&#8230;My prenatal appointments are going to be done over the phone for now, which is great. We&#8217;re staying positive, trying to keep James content with different activities, and getting outside at least twice a day. This week we made homemade play dough, which was a hit (used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheartnaptime.net\/play-dough-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this easy recipe<\/a>) and today I made a little set of sponge paints that we can use tomorrow. And there&#8217;s always Sesame Street. Thank heavens for Sesame Street and Disney+ (James loves Puppy Dog Pals). Daniel and I are always on the lookout for new shows, books, podcasts, you name it. What are you doing at home? I&#8217;d love to hear any show suggestions and any activities you do with an 18-month-old indoors or out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>xo Andie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/03\/21\/opinion\/scott-kelly-coronavirus-isolation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tips on dealing with isolation from an astronaut<\/a> who was on the ISS for a year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nomanazish\/2020\/03\/24\/how-to-protect-your-mental-health-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-according-to-psychologists\/#3500c73341cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maintaining mental health during the pandemic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/series\/devs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEVS<\/a><br>Daniel and I have been enjoying the TV show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/series\/devs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Devs on Hulu<\/a>. It&#8217;s a mystery about a cutting edge tech company in Silicon Valley working on a secret program. The mystery unwraps slowly (and there&#8217;s only been 4 episodes released so far) but I think it\u2019s a really interesting premise and we&#8217;re having fun watching week to week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/series\/bobs-burgers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bob&#8217;s Burgers<\/a><br>I somehow missed the boat on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/series\/bobs-burgers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bob\u2019s Burgers<\/a>, which is in its tenth season. But I recently watched an episode with Daniel and now I am completely hooked. It is such a funny, feel good, positive, loving show that I find so delightful. And it&#8217;s been such a great antidote to the bad news going around. The whole series is on Hulu and new episodes are on Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamecrate.com\/best-fitness-games-and-apps-staying-fit-during-quarantine\/25569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list of fitness games and apps you can do at home.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How are you holding up?
