Stock Your Cupboards

Heading out to the shops during lockdown should be done as little as possible, so it’s a good idea to try and stock up your cupboards beforehand. Avoid splurging on lots of fresh produce like meat and vegetables, as these will go out of date very quickly and end up thrown away as waste.

Instead, opt for tinned, dry, and frozen goods that have a much longer shelf life! There are so many recipes that utilize just these ingredients, so head to your local store and stock up so that you can avoid leaving your home too often. Don’t forget to buy a few treats for your family to indulge in, as a big bowl of familiar comfort food can really help you all to relax. 

Banish Boredom 

Boredom is a big issue in family homes during the lockdown, so this time around it’s important that you can try to create the opportunity to have some fun! There are so many exciting activities that you can get stuck into from the comfort of your living room, whether you explore some imaginative arts and crafts or get in the garden for a little fresh air.

A quick search online will produce a wide variety of home-based fun that you can try out with your family, suiting different age ranges to help you keep your whole brood occupied! Lockdown is also the perfect time to throw yourself into a good book, as there’s realistically never going to another similar opportunity to read chapter after chapter without interruption. 

Make Support Accessible 

With so many providers and services having to close their doors, it’s vital that you’re able to make support easily accessible to ensure you do not encounter any difficult situations during a lockdown. For example, finding emergency plumbing services is an absolute must, as a burst pipe could cause a whole load of chaos if you don’t attend to the issue immediately.

To add to this signing up for things like online doctors services can be of real benefit, as you will be able to contact your GP via your laptop rather than having to put yourself at risk by visiting them in person. 

With any luck, the tried and tested tips and tricks that have been carefully detailed above will help to enable you to properly prepare your family home for another lockdown. Start by stocking the cupboards, implement activities that will banish boredom, and ensure extra assistance and support are accessible at all times.
