Happy Friday and welcome to another edition of weekend reads! Since we will be in this uncertain way of life for who knows how long, I want to keep sharing quarantine activities and positive ideas to keep everybody going.
This week, we’ve been really enjoying connecting with our loved ones in different ways. I wake up and have a coffee date with my best friend each morning. We catch each other up on what we’re watching and listening to as well as setting productivity and personal goals for the day.
Tonight, we’re having a virtual happy hour and tomorrow we’re having a virtual brunch and dinner party! I can’t stress enough how important it is to keep checking in on friends and family; as a friend said this week, you can still feel unpopular in this time.

I posted this on IG last week, but if you can, beware of the products you buy at the store and avoid those that say WIC if you can afford other products. Those with the WIC labels are the only products that folks are able to buy under federal assistance programs, and they’re being bought up by panicked shoppers.
For our virtual family game night, we played an online version of Cranium that this man on Twitter created. Here’s a link to the google sheet with the game’s information: online Cranium.
