How to have a weekend when every day is the same?
For many of us who are in lockdown and quarantine, the last couple of weeks seemed like a big blur. Without checking the calendar on my phone, it would have been difficult for me to keep track of what day it was. And now it's weekend. A time that we normally look forward to. But how to celebrate and enjoy the weekend when every day seems like weekend. Yes, we were working and homeschooling but still our schedules changed due to staying at home. And now we're looking at two weeks of Easter holiday that will be exactly the same like the three weeks before. Working, home-schooling, staying at home.

So, I started thinking of things to make the weekend pleasurable and different to the other days. Today I let the kids sleep in. I will make Sushi, so that we have some special food. In the evening we'll watch a movie together with some homemade popcorn.

How do you make sure that the weekend still feels like a weekend? What activities have you planned to make it more enjoyable?
