Minecraft Cliffs and Caves Part 2Gameplay Pt.1
So I didn’t add any commentary over this just because… I really dislike the way that I sound on camera. XD That’s literally the only reason other than it was late and I didn’t want to have to figure out logistics with the mic before bed. I didn’t, however, realize that there was NO SOUNDS AT ALL. Don’t worry, I’m going to figure that out before the next one!
If I get enough likes on this post and you guys actually want it, then I’ll add commentary so let me know down in the comments if that’s what you prefer to have with your gameplay. Little Maxwell loves to watch gameplay before bed and a lot of times it’s just more relaxing to not have the commentary.
I hope you enjoy it though! This blog has always been about doing things that I enjoy and talking about things that I am passionate about and, to Daddy Maxwell’s great regret, Minecraft is one of those things. I was sold on this new cliffs and caves update when I heard the words ‘fireflies, toads, and tadpoles’ so I definitely am excited to find a swamp! Let’s see how it all goes together!
With Peace and Passion,
Ta!

My COVID Daily Quarantine Challenge Part 2!

Here we are at Part 2!
Feeling a little less stir-crazy? No? Well, at least you’ve entertained those restless natives for a bit! Read on, Journeyer!
Day 16:
Create a plan for your dream vacation and draw, collage, build, write, paint or whatever a piece about it! Show them off to friends online and tell everyone about them.
Day 17:
Skip out on sugar for a day! Is it difficult? Why or why not? Try it out longer if you feel you can and see how long you can go! Tell us here in the comments!
Day 18:
Make a list of the things you’re grateful for today and share it with someone. Reflect on ways that you can let those around you know that they are appreciated.
Day 19:
Make cards for those at your nearest assisted living facility or retirement community and send them in the mail. Use a single large manila envelope or a few envelopes with several cards inside each to save on postage! Many of those in elderly facilities don’t have family to visit and/or get visits very often. These facilities are also one of the places where the COVID virus is hitting the hardest. Receiving a letter could really make the difference in someone’s life today.
Day 20:
Make a meal together and then eat it around lit candles for a cozy time!
Day 21:
Have an electricity free hour each day! That’s right. Think of it like Earth Hour but once a day! It can even be during the day instead of at night, if you want. Not only will it save you money on your electric bill but it can have a positive effect on the environment! Was it difficult for you to do? Is it something you would do more often? Write it down in your journal!
Day 22:
Organize your most cluttered space! Follow the Kondo method! What were you able to say goodbye to?
Day 23:
Family video game tournament! What did you play? Who won? Which game was your favorite and why? What would you play if you had another game tournament together?
Day 24:
Make a giant floor game board with tape or other things! Play tic tac toe, hangman, etc
Day 25:
Family photos! Try different outfits, photo styles, maybe even a fashion show!
Day 26:
Paper ball basketball tournament!
Day 27:
Look through old family photos! Talk about where you were, how you were feeling then. It’s it different from now?
Day 28:
Write a Family Constitution including a mission statement and each person helps contribute a “law” as well. This helps even the littlest find a way to communicate what is important to them and what issues have been weighing on them. Lately, choose a motto! Everyone should help contribute in it’s creation!
Day 29:
Have a chore race or Olympic Chores! Turn each core into a race or game like the Olympics and at the end, vote on gold, silver, and bronze awards!
Day 30:
Unsubscribe from stores and unwanted emails! This will save you so much time, thought energy, and aggravation in the long term.
Day 31:
Clean out a junk drawer or bathroom cabinet!
Day 32:
Focus on Love today! Being stuck inside with stir crazy people for extended periods can be trying on the nerves and patience. Give each other three hugs throughout the day to let each other now that even in the trying times, love is still there.
Day 33:
On a not too cool day, if it’s an option geographically, open the windows, turn on fans, and air out the house! It’s been just as quarantined as you after all!
Day 34:
Try something you’ve never done before! Never done a headstand? Gone backyard foraging? Identified birds in your yard or flowers? Never jogged a mile? Try running around your yard with a step counter! If you don’t have one, there are apps that will act as a (dubiously correct) counter for you.
All of these are things that are not only good for beating that isolation blues but many are also great for you, your household, your pocketbook, or your mental health. Did you finish the challenge? Let us know what you were and weren’t able to do! Did you enjoy it? Let us know in the comments and stay positive, Journeyers!
With Peace and Passionate Hope.
Ta!
