Home for a few weeks? Tips on how to avoid cabin fever
With the announcement of school closures and work from home policies in place over the next few weeks, we wanted to share some creative ideas on how to pass the time at home.
Team AMI started sourcing ideas after our Product Manager Ashley shared that she and her husband would be building a 2,500 piece Lego set at home together over the weekend. #couplegoals 🏆
Get creative!
