DAY 8 #StayAtHome Journal
There are days, just like this one, when we don’t do countless activities, but they are beautiful and relaxing because they represent quality time together.

DAY 7 #StayAtHome Journal
We started our day playing a school role game and learnt to draw various objects. Of course, I was the teacher and our girl was the student. We used chalk on a blackboard. Afterwards we played a Guess Who game, this time using our Lego Minifigures.

DAY 6 #StayAtHome Journal
I love reading and I used to read stories to my daughter since she was very little. Now, at 5yo, she won’t sleep until we read our bedtime story. At noon we read a lovely book which I also warmly recommend: The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.

DAY 5 #StayAtHome Journal
Daddy recently bought himself a Xiaomi Mi Robot Builder STEM Toy a few months ago. It has a 3-in-1 design that allows you to build a robot, a plane and a dinosaur. Although it’s a toy for ages 10 and up and the kids can learn how to program it through a series of tutorials on the Mi Robot Builder App, we thought it was a good idea to just use it as a building toy until our daughter gets older.

DAY 4 #StayAtHome Journal
We started the day with a drawing, cutting and coloring activity. Our daughter asked me to draw a few cars inspired by our HotWheels car collection for her. She wanted to make a landscape with a road. We cut the drawn cars and our girl glued them on the road. The Hotwheels cars had to face the right direction.

DAY 1 #StayAtHome Journal
As Daddy was busy with work and had a few conference calls during the day, we had to give him some space. Because a few days ago we reconditioned our old printer which has been sitting in the attic for a long time, we decided to start the day coloring. We printed a lot of coloring pages and made a coloring storybook by stapling some of them together.

StayAtHome Journal
It took me a while to find enough free time to write this StayAtHome Journal. The world is a mess, people are scared and children are confused. We’ve been staying at home for a while now and it’s not easy. We have to do our job right, spend time with our daughter, do a lot more cooking and cleaning. Our house is upside-down, most of the time.
