Toni, from Rochdale, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

DIY party decorations and activities!

The only thing that didn’t work out was of how time consuming putting everything together, was. It took a while to get everything in order.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Next time it’s planning a special 1st birthday for my littlest!

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Toni Hopley, I have 2 beautiful girls, one is 8 months old and the other has just turned 3 and we are from the UK!

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It is mentally challenging spending all day everyday behind 4 walls alone with a baby and a 3 year old but the memories we’re making make it all worth while.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Go for social distance safe walks as much as you can, plan activities for the following day the night before because it’s very important to have some you time while the kids are occupied and having fun, and give yourself time to talk to other adults.

Has being part of our community helped you?

I love all of the inspiring ideas!
