Hey everyone! I hope that you are all doing well, what with being in quarantine and participating in physical distancing. It has been such a huge change, and it is definitely a weird season to be in. With that being said, it has provided Olivia and I with a lot of sister time! Olivia moved home from University in April, and ever since we have been together all the time, other than when I have to be at work.
Let me tell you, working in the hospital during this pandemic has been something I never thought I would go through, especially in my first year of Nursing! But I have learned so much, and as scary as it can be sometimes, I am so thankful that I went into the medical profession.
Anyways, Olivia and I thought that it would be fun to give you guys a little insight into what we have been doing to keep us busy during quarantine.
BAKING
Olivia is literally one of the best bakers that I know, she could make anything and I would love it. So naturally, we ended up baking an insane amount! So far, we have made cookies, 2 cakes (one of which failed miserably and truly was not edible), muffins, brownies, and breakfast bars. It has been so much fun getting to experiment and make some amazing new recipes!
PUZZLES
What can I say, I absolutely love a good puzzle, and they can keep me busy for hours! We have done quite a few, and they have all been so pretty.
BIBLE STUDY
I have loved being able to use this time to be still. I have been waking up and taking anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to study the Bible and be in God’s word. It has helped me to feel such a deeper connection to God and my faith, which has been life changing! I definitely want to keep this practice up once quarantine is over.
If you are looking for a good Bible Study, I love She Reads Truth. Lonestar Southern recently did a Bible Study on Psalms using one of the She Reads Truth studies. It was phenomenal and I highly recommend it! You can find it here on YouTube.
NETFLIX
Who are we kidding, how could we go through quarantine without binge watching at least a few TV shows? We both highly recommend Desperate Housewives on Amazon Prime, and Outerbanks on Netflix! These shows were so addictive we found ourselves at the end of a season way too quickly, oops haha.
EXERCISE
We have loved having the time to work out more these past few months. Whether we were going for walks on our property or doing Yoga or Pilates at home, we’ve had so much fun trying new workouts! I find getting in a workout in the morning sets me up for the day and makes me feel way more productive!
READING AND LEARNING
We have been doing so much reading lately. Olivia has been re-reading the Percy Jackson series that she was obsessed with as a kid, and is also taking a few online courses. I have been reading Nicholas Sparks books, because they always get me in the mood for summer! I also finished an online course which was so much fun! There are so many interesting courses that you can take online right now, and did I mention many of them are free?
Coursera has some amazing courses if you wanted to try one!
We would love to hear what you have been doing to keep busy and stay active in quarantine!
Stay safe,
~ Anna + Olivia
