We are living in a whole new world seemingly overnight. As COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, sweeps the world we find ourselves self-isolating. Schools are closed, workplaces have moved online, and a simple trip to the grocery store seems daunting and unsafe.

But here's the thing. We are all in this together.

I hope that during this time of uncertainty and social distancing, that you and your loved ones are well. I also hope that I can help you navigate these uncharted waters with resources to help you stay organized, keep your kids entertained, and maintain your sanity.

Instead, this is a place for you to find resources to help with having your kids at home, taking care of your home and family, and also your own self care.
