We have been battling the stomach bug in our home. Which has not been fun, since we are in such a great location here at the beach. My husband is the latest family member to catch this stomach flu. It has not been fun to parent and keep house single. I have said this before and I will continue to say it:
Single moms are amazing! They have my utmost respect.
This is hard work. Taking care of the kids and the house. I will freely admit there are dirty dishes in my sink right now. It is hard to keep up with it all when your husband is in bed sick for 3 days.
So we have been getting creative with our indoor fun activities during this flu. We have been watercolor painting, reading books, watching DVDs, coloring, putting together puzzles, doing homeschool online, and cleaning as a family activity.

I am thankful for a new DVD that arrived in the mail this last week. Veggie Tales latest installment, Veggie Tales: The Little House That Stood
A plus? Veggie Tales is also offering free coloring pages! Coloring is another great thing we can do indoors during the flu.

*Disclosure: I was sent the above DVD for review. All opinions are mine.
Oh we love those Veggie Tale movies! They are so cute!!
They are so cute. I enjoy enjoy them Jenna 🙂
No kids–but that dvd looks like a great one. I can not imagine what you must have gone through while your hubby was sick–hope he is better now!!
Today is the first day he woke up feeling better. It has been rough. I am thankful!
Love Veggie Tales 🙂
I cannot even imagine how tired you must be with the stomach bug going through your house. Poor guy! Especially considering when a woman gets sick, she still finds a way to be Super Woman, but when a man gets sick, most of the time it is the worst plague to ever hit mankind! Good luck!
Right? He was literally in bed for 5 days! It was rough! I could never recover for 5 days! It was frustrating. But thankfully it looks like today he is on the mend an he ate well.
We have the movie we need to watch, so excited to do some of the activities with it!
We love Veggie Tales. Thank you for a great giveaway.
we are big on crafts and board games–although JUMPING on the BED is aways a WINNER!!!
I love Veggie Tales, and cannot wait until my niece is old enough to watch them and understand! I bet you are worn out from that bug going through your house! Get some rest!
I had a one hour break today and I went shopping at Kohls. It was awesome. Just me, and clothing 😉
My kids loved veggie tales and I loved their message.
Fun for the kiddos but with a good message! I love it 😉
my kids are over the veggie tales but they loved them when they were little.
Ahh, I remember when I was a little girl. I was sick all the time and at one point I nearly died but one thing that always helped pass the time was kids shows on television. My favorite was Captain Kangaroo. I know I’m showing my age here but it was a fun show, very entertaining. I also enjoyed reading books. By the way, Veggie Tales was a much loved show when my kids were little. 😀
That picture is awesome. Thanks for the giveaway too!
Great list of activities. My favorite is reading.
