13 Ways to Make Easter Fun at Home During Coronavirus Quarantine

By: dmvollmer

Easter is coming up soon, April 12th, and many of us have been distracted by the Coronavirus pandemic and unsure how things would be as Easter approaches. At this point, it’s clear that social distancing and stay at home orders will still be in place. So, how do we still celebrate Easter to create a bit of ‘normalcy’ and joy for our family?

Easter has two sides to the holiday – the religious side and the Easter bunny side. Some people celebrate both, and some only one. For this post, I am focusing on the Easter bunny side of the holiday.

Filling the Easter basket may be tougher this year. Order early. Look for delivery or drive up pickup options. Amazon, Target, grocery stores are great options.

13 Ways to Celebrate Easter during the Coronavirus Quarantine

  1. Dye Easter Eggs. We’re home more so let’s take it up a notch and really take the decorating to the next levels. Multicolors, artistic designs, or whatever else you can invasion. Plan ahead to source your eggs – if your grocery stores are sold out check restaurants and restaurant suppliers as many (here in Arizona at least) are offering pickup for grocery essentials including eggs. If you have food coloring you don’t need to get those Easter egg dye kits.
  2. Hide the Easter basket and make it a scavenger hunt with clues around the house.
  3. Order Easter brunch or dinner from a local restaurant for curbside pickup.
  4. Get your neighborhood involved! spread the word (post of social media, NextDoor and signs by your mailbox) and have everyone draw and color Easter eggs on paper and hang them on your windows or garage so that everyone can walk, bike or drive around the neighborhood (while keeping distance) and count how many eggs you find.
  5. Be the sneaky Easter bunny and go around the neighborhood and chalk draw easter eggs on sidewalks.
  6. Have an Easter Bonnet decorating contest. Bring out the craft supplies and challenge your family to create their best Easter Bonnet and have a few prizes for ‘most elegant’, ‘most over the top’, ‘most creative’.
  7. Choose an idea for an Easter craft project, set up a table and set up the supplies. This will help to keep everyone engaged in family time.
  8. Play a few family Easter games – relay races with spoons holding an egg, egg toss (with a raw egg) are just two ideas. Google Easter family games and you get tons of ideas for easy games.
  9. Bake Easter sugar cookies and decorate with sprinkles or decorator icing.
  10. Make springtime Easter Pots – clay pots, dirt, seeds or annuals, and paints. Everyone can paint their pots and then plant their flowers celebrating spring.
  11. Make Easter Bunny pancakes – all you need is pancake batter, chocolate chips, and whipped cream and test our your creative skills
  12. Connect with friends and family that you would normally share an Easter meal with through Facetime or Zoom
  13. Make Peeps S’mores. Firepit, BBQ or even the microwave works.

I’m still taking in all that happened yesterday. Hopeful for what lies ahead. Breathing easier with an administration focused on unity and equality.  One that is making dealing with this pandemic a top priority. One that is making science a priority.

No matter what side you’re on, history was made. This is election will be really be the first one my son remembers. First female Vice President, first black and first South-Asian VP.

Merry Christmas 🎄 We skipped Santa photos thi Merry Christmas 🎄 

We skipped Santa photos this year (way past the believing in Santa years but its still a fun tradition...hopefully next year). #flashback Friday to Bs 1st Christmas (2006), and then 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 How are you doing? Scram Merry Christmas Eve 🎄

How are you doing? Scrambling to get things ready for tomorrow or enjoying hot cocoa by the tree? We mommas take on so much of the holiday prep so I would expect most of us are still getting things ready.

I wanted to share MY two best tips for holiday prep and I’d love to hear YOURS

Tip 1 - Santa Sacks. We invested in these years ago. Pop in the gift and pull on the drawstring and you’re all set. We use these for gifts from Santa and wrap the others. Time saver and saves a ton of wrapping paper, thats a win!

Tip 2 - Put a lock on a closet and turn it into your gift closet. No worries about your kids discovering their gifts AND easy to find all your gifts. Who is still searching for gifts they can’t remember where they put them. A closet in a guest room or office is perfect.

B and I had a blast playing with @superimpulse’s B and I had a blast playing with @superimpulse’s #tinyarcade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and #microarcade Frogger. So fun and an awesome idea for stocking stuffers.

We put together a huge list (over 100 ideas) of stocking stuffers for teenage boys (link in bio). They can be so hard to shop for and not so helpful when you ask for ideas.

Did you know #nutcrackers are a German tradition thought to bring good luck and fight away evil spirits?

Having trouble finding spaces to display some of my holiday decor as many of my surfaces are covered with plants now 🌱❤️ and then I realized these wall shelves were perfect. I stashed away the art that is usually sits on these shelves (and hides the huge doorbell box and security system glass sensor) and replaced with our @traderjoes #adventcalendar and #nutcrackers

This is freshman year, 2020. He’s on a zoom wit This is freshman year, 2020.  He’s on a zoom with his class. Chatting on a call with classmates who are also virtual. Also planning his run for class president. One thing 2020 has taught him is technical skills and multitasking.

Do your kids sit in unusual positions when studying/virtual schooling? For 2020, what ever works. He has a 4.0 and all caught up on assignments. He’s staying to connected to his classes and friends. School is still open for in-person but we decided to switch him to virtual after Thanksgiving because we thought numbers would rise (and they did).
