Read MoreHello! I hope you’re doing well and staying healthy! My state is under a “stay at home” order for a while, so I decided to wait it out with my parents at their house. The virus has interrupted our normal routine, but I’m trying to see this as an opportunity and use the freed-up time in useful AND fun ways! The other night, to get our minds off current affairs, I challenged my parents to a game that I think you safety-savy people will love! Check out this week’s post to see how playing a game can increase your memory, observation and situational awareness skills! Practicing social distancing? No problem, you can play this through video conference. Make sure to comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy! :)
