The challenge of extra down time at home led to creative moments of rediscovering hobbies, games and childhood  indulgences during lockdowns. Classic board games, endless hiden’ seek, popcorn, lemonade, mixed with back yard  movies… what better way to pass the time and fill the spirit.  As we emerge, we bring new appreciation to the activities that comforted, kept us laughing,  and made us feel just a little bit better.
