Well we survived another week in quarantine. We are all getting a little stir crazy and our governor just announced that he was extending our stay at home order until the end of April. Looks like we will be working from home (still) for the next month. 

We haven't been shopping much online, but we have bought a few things. Some of them are listed below and I hope that they may help your family too. Some are nothing big or even practical, but some are definitely useful.

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. Happy early Birthday to my mom. Tomorrow is her birthday and we don't get to see her or celebrate with her. We haven't seen them in forever. But hopefully, when this is all over, we will get to celebrate all of the March and April birthdays that have been postponed.

TWO. I love The Office. I have been every episode many times and we often watch it on Netflix when there is nothing else to watch. This week on Instagram, a friend posted her Hydroflask with a bunch of Office stickers on it. I asked her where she got them and she sent me the Amazon link. It comes with 100 stickers and they are funny. All of the classic lines, costumes, etc. 

I bought them for my Hydroflask and now the girls want a few of them. Ha. But my Hydroflask is at work, so I won't be able to dress my Hydroflask until I am able to go back into the office and clean it thoroughly.

THREE. Even though my girls are not in school yet, they are still in pre-k and they were still learning a lot. These first few weeks of quarantine, we haven't done much learning. They do have their Kindle Fire Kids with a subscription to learning games, but I also want to keep them at the level where they should be. So I went onto Amazon and was able to purchase them Kindergarten workbooks. They start Kindergarten in August and were already way ahead in their pre-k class. So once these arrive, we plan to do some work in them each weekday. This is the one I chose for the girls.

FOUR. Another quarantine essential was a weighted jump rope. I have a regular jump rope, but Rory's broke a few months ago. I got him this one as a birthday gift and he loves it. It lives up to the reviews. It is only a pound and a half, but it is weight in the rope part, so it makes it a tougher work out. He said he was huffing and puffing while using it.

We have been taking walks, playing basketball at the school by our house, jump roping and doing some stretches and yoga at home since we haven't been to the gym in weeks. It definitely has helped, but nothing beats the gym. Or maybe I just need more home workouts.

FIVE. Alright, I finally convinced my husband that we need an air fryer. He kept telling me that we had no space for it, and I said it can go in the garage with the Instant Pot when we don't use it. And I use that thing a lot. Plus, I told him that we can make french fries in it and have them taste so much better than the ones that come from the oven. So please, tell me which ones are your favorite. And any recipes that you love.

Have a great weekend!
