Hi,
How are you? Well, I hope. I’m practicing social distancing by staying home and reading The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Book 5), checking the CDC website for updates, writing, group texting, and watching the Hallmark movie Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa.
Due to all that is going on, I pushed back the release date for My Wedding Date (The Wedding Whisperer, Book 3) to May 7, 2020, and it’s available for pre-order on Apple Books and Amazon US, UK, AU, CA.
Book 1 in The Do-Over Date Series, Million Dollar Date, is in Kindle Unlimited right now: Amazon US, UK, AU, CA.
Book 2 in The Do-Over Date Series, The Double Date Disaster, is in Kindle Unlimited: Amazon US, UK, AU, CA.
Book 3 in The Do-Over Date Series, The Date Next Door, is now in Kindle Unlimited: Amazon US, UK, AU, CA.
Book 4 in The Do-Over Date Series, Date to the Rescue, will be moving to Kindle Unlimited soon, so get it now while it’s still on all retailers: Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon CA, Amazon AU, Kobo, Nook, Google Play & Apple Books. The trade paperback edition is now available on Amazon US and on sale (limited time). The paperback will be available on Amazon around the world soon.

Thank you for the free book and I hope you’re staying safe.
I have recently started doing mindfulness by drawing different patterns in my art therapy journal.
I am starting spring cleaning early! I have also been getting my flower beds ready for warmer weather flower planting.

Check in on neighbours by phone, write encouraging and uplifting emails especially to those in the health and service industries, play games with your family, talk, read, bake, etc
Contact family, friends and neighbours by phone, text, email or however possible to check in on them, to encourage and uplift, thank those in the health and service industries through emails, etc. Play games with your spouse and children, talk to one another, read, bake, etc😀
Baking!! Creating healthy gluten free snacks!
We are playing card games. My sister in law is going to teach me Texas Holdem!!
Trying to stay ahead and stay close to family and friends.
Already one person in our family has had this nasty virus but is well on the way to recovery.
So…stay healthy and happy!
I actually have to continue working, but so far all is well! When I get home I really enjoy spending time with my 1yr old granddaughter and reading as much as possible. Thank you for your wonderful stories, they help with all the craziness right now!
Positive things to do at home: spring cleaning & decluttering, preparing children lessons & teaching online, keeping in contact with dear ones & friends, & praying. I mustn’t forget catching up on lots & lots & lots of reading!
Staying home. Staying safe. Reading lots.
I have lovely debates with my two girls and we read and talk about different social topics going on in the world as well as school online. Always talking about books and the bible as well as guess who? Percy Jackson and the Olympians. With Greek God’s added. They believe whole heartedly in that so it’s a strong debate.
Thanks
I can keep in contact with friends and family. Do some house work and homeschool. Read ARCs and other books leaving reviews (as long as I can rate 3 and above) where I can.
I’ve been reading a lot and watching a few movies I’ve been waiting to see!
I’ve also called a few friends and neighbors I haven’t talked to for a while, plus a few people just to check up on them!!!
Oh, and face-timing with my wonderful granddaughter, whom I miss hugging terribly much!!!
Crafts. Making cards and send them to family/friends that need cheering up.
I’ll focus on learning photography! I am doing an online course and they are giving us ideas to practice the learning staying safe inside… 😊
I can finally get around to sorting through everything and reduce the clutter. There is so much that really needs to go twosome of the charities I work with. It will be a good start on my spring cleaning. And when it is time for a break, I can pick up a book to read without feeling guilty.
I’m taking advantage of the extra time with my kids and reading (plus going outside throughout the day)!
My kids and I have been doing a lot of baking, crafting, and playing a ton of Uno. I’m pretty desperate for some adult time, but at least the daytime hours are pretty filled with fun.
Catching up on reading and learning a new hobby.
Singing. Smiling. Connecting with people through letters, cards, emails, phone, social media.
Something postivie that I have been doing at home is setting myself a mini goal of cleaning or doing two simple things a day. Maybe like cleaning one drawer, or just going through some paperwork at home.
Hi Susan,
You can enjoy some quite time while at home. I definitely do.
As a family of 4, with 2 young adults, we have been playing many games, some with an age of 6+! Many laughs around the table!
Learning basic Spanish!
And making phone calls to my 87 yr old mother in law, who is in lockdown in assisted living, and 90 yr old mom who lives 2000 miles away..
We are still working but on our days off we are trying to clean out our house of clutter and getting bags of donationa ready.

Thx for sharing, Becka! Stay healthy and safe, too. 🙂
Apparently in all of the chaos I find cleaning and reorganizing a comfort. Otherwise, it’s reading that pulls me away from reality.
Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas
