According to a recent reports, there seems to be a bit of a baby boom in El Paso at the moment which suggests that couples have been occupying their time during this pandemic with activities other than playing board games.

As we’ve gotten to the nine-month mark of the coronavirus pandemic I guess it’s not too surprising that there is a surge of new bundles of joy and I would expect that this surge in births to continue for a little while longer.  Babies are definitely blessings and I am praying and wishing for the  health and happiness of these newborns and their families.

Being out and about for non-essential activities has been discouraged which has caused more people to have to spend time alone together, and well I guess there’s only so much to talk about before thoughts begin to wander towards other activities.

If for some reason you’re just not ready for a new baby at the moment, I have you covered.  Below you’ll find some suggestions that might help you pass the time as the pandemic continues.  The lists consists of board games and toys.  Stay safe my friends!
