It’s been a little while since we have talked about quarantine life, so we thought it was time to circle back and share what we have been doing to stay safe, sane, and entertained this summer. We share what our experience in NYC has been like - our expectations of quarantine and the reality.  We also talk about the hobbies we have picked up, the activities we have fallen in love with, the books to read and what to watch.    Join us in the facebook group and let us know what you are doing in quarantine to stay busy this summer!   Activities: Knitting: We Are Knitters kits Gardening New York Times Crossword Puzzles Purging and organizing Try Needlepoint Learn about Orange wine Learn Something New with Materclass or an online course Learn a Language with Duolingo Project Cooking   Book Series Recs: Sarah J.
