A New Way of Socializing

In my last two posts, I shared helpful links and educational downloads for the kiddos, but let's face it, it's not just the kids who need entertaining. In fact, after being cloistered with those sweet little angels for days upon days upon...yes, more days, we adults may need distractions of our own. So, in that vein, here are some ways to "connect" with friends and family while we're all social-distancing-together:

For those of you who like to binge your favorite shows, there's a service for Netflixing (is that a word?) with those you love. It's called Netflix Party. It only works on Chrome browsers (for now), but with this service, you can sync what you're watching so that even though you're apart, you're still together!

Also, Travel and Leisure has linked a bunch (that's more than a gaggle) of virtual tours of some of the world's most famous museums. This way you can "get out" there and see amazing art from the comfort (and safety) of your couch. Not exactly the same as standing in front of the Mona Lisa, but what is it the kids say? You get what you get and you don't throw a fit! So you may as well pour a glass of wine, make yourself a nice cheese plate, and kick up your feet.

If you have helpful links, post them in the comments or email me at kim@kimberlyderting.com so I can share too, because it doesn't seem like this will end anytime soon.

In the meantime, hug your kids, stay healthy, and wash your damn hands!
