New Years in Quarantine

  Everything this year has been different. So why it is no surprise that we will all be bringing in the new year different, we may not all have ideas of what you can do, but here are a few ideas.   Having little kids, the idea of not going out on New Year’s Eve is not so much of a new thing, but the last couple of years we have tried to either have an early New Years party with other families with kids, or gone outside to do some skating and watch fire works with other families and...
