Favorite Books, Movies, TV and More

Well it appears that we will be indoors for quite some time. Yesterday on instagram I asked polls about favorite movies, books, tv shows, games and more. I wanted to share what everyone said along with some of my favorites! Take this time inside to reconnect and find some peace doing those things you loved as a kid. I also think that staying inside and social distancing is truly the best way that we can prevent this as a country. Be safe and healthy everyone. Thank you to everyone who shared your recommendations and favorites!!! They’re all included below!! 🙂
