Family Enriching Activities

With Covid restrictions, we have a lot more free time at home. We are all adjusting and coping with the temporary stipulations imposed on us, and making the best of it. On the bright side, this situation opens the door for us to explore or revisit some enriching activities kids and adults can enjoy in the comfort of their home. A lot of kids and adults love to absorb their time in video games that can become addictive. Their creative interests can wane, their brains can become lazy, their imagination may plummet and their ability to learn can suffer. Having simple yet engaging and enriching activities for the whole family to do at home, can improve a lot of their learning skills and spark their imagination.

Sometimes kids and adults need reminders that there are non-electronic things they can do that will enhance their lives. They forgot the joy of picking up a book and reading or sitting down and putting a puzzle together. Both activities can be fun and fulfilling if kids give them a chance. Adding some interesting new titles and puzzles to your home library may be just what the whole family needs.

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a well-loved novel written by Jane Austen in 1813. It’s been made into a movie several times because we never seem to get tired of Dr. Darcy, Elizabeth, and the enchanting storyline. Pride and Prejudice was recently released in a deluxe version that includes replicas of 19 endearing letters written by various characters within the story.

Each letter is placed in a Glassine pocket and situated in the right place in the storyline. The letters are written on aged paper with a whimsical and decorative font indicative of the era. And as you sink into the story, you can pull out the letters and be privy to their intimate messages and correspondence. They add more depth and meaning to the story and you feel like you are part of the scene experiencing that very moment. It’s one of the most beautiful versions of the story I’ve seen and it will capture the attention of all readers.
