Right now is weird. With so many countries affected by the coronavirus and more and more people around the world finding themselves under self-isolation or living in an area in "shutdown", it can seem a little bit lonely and overwhelming - but it doesn't have to be. 

We live in a world full of technology - which gives us the opportunity to rethink social distancing. Whilst we should keep our physical distance, we can still connect with one another in other ways.

After being in a long distance relationship for over 5 years, Jesse and I like to think we're pretty good at connecting at a distance.

One of those ways we've already been connecting with friends and family around the world is through video calls/zoom calls - and so I thought I'd share 10 things you can do with friends or family members via videocall. 

So here are some things you can do to stay connected even when you're not together in person >> 

The Ultimate Adult Board Game Guide

It's no secret that Jesse and I love board games. You'll commonly find us crowded around our dining room table with friends on a Saturday night, laughing ourselves stupid over a ridiculous board game. 

And whilst we love a little bit of strategy, our favourite games are the cringe-worthy, hilariously inappropriate adult board games.... and I realised that we're not alone, because when we posted The Ultimate Board Game Guide last year, so many of you told me they're your favourites too. 

So I want to warn you, you do need a sense of humour for these games. They're almost all wildly inappropriate, but they're hilariously funny and a favourite of ours and our friends - and thus, I give you the Ultimate Adult Board Game Guide!

Here it is! >> 

The Ultimate Board Game Guide

It's no secret that Jesse and I love board games. They're the perfect way to spend some free time, have a laugh or show off your competitive streak - and we have a pretty big collection. 

Whilst we've shared board games in our Instagram stories and Recent Things post in the past, I thought I'd put together our Ultimate Board Game Guide so you have a single post you can refer back to when you're looking to buy a new game.

Whether it's for a gift or just for a new way to spend time as a couple, family or with friends - this guide has something for everyone. Because there are so many games, I've broken them down into sections: Party Games, Adult's Only Games, Family Games, Strategy Games,  Trivia Games and Word Games.

Board games tend to get a bit of a bad rap at times - and are often considered a little bit nerdy, but I promise you, these games are all 100% NON Nerdy Girl Approved - but my nerdy husband also approves of them so they work for everyone 😉

It's a long list - but a great one at that!

So let me share The Ultimate Board Game Guide with you! >> 

Free Printable "You Know" Card Game to Make Learning Fun

One thing you mightn't know about me is that I'm a Pyjama Angel! A what?

Well, whilst I'd love an awesome pair of wings and a reason to wear pyjamas all day every day, it's actually a volunteering position. You see, last year I signed up to volunteer with The Pyjama Foundation - an organisation that trains up volunteers and equips them with the resources needed to visit children in foster/statutory care and help them with their learning in a fun, playful way. 

As a pyjama angel, I'm not a tutor - I meet with my little guy each week to hang out, play games, talk about his week, play soccer and fit in some learning in a fun way. He struggles with reading and writing and I've come up with a bunch of fun little games to encourage him to practice his reading/writing without even realising it - and I thought I'd share this one with you! 

This "You Know" card game is a lot like regular UNO, however, it's got a learning twist on it. Since I put together an editable template for my little guy, I thought I'd share it with you so you can use it for your own kids, siblings, friends - or even yourself. It can be changed to work for a whole variety of things - whether you're looking to work on math skills, spelling, vocabulary or even shapes and colours for little kids. 

So let me share this game with you! >>
