You've got this, Mama!
I want to make a preliminary note on this post. I totally understand that there are some people who cannot self-quarantine. There are people who have not been given the option of working remotely. There are people who have to make a living, and they have to go to work. […]
It’s amazing to me, as prepared as we are, that the first day of quarantine went as it did. One Last Trip? I had planned on making one more trip to Costco before going into quarantine. Did we NEED anything? Probably not, but there were a few items that I […]
We all love our children. But despite that love, want to see parents cringe quickly? Tell them that they are going to be stuck inside with their children for three months or more. More than that, they cannot leave their home. That thought in itself is incredibly overwhelming! Add to […]
