These are some weird, crazy, and different times we’re living in, amirite?
As so many people are home right now, we’re all feeling somewhat of the same feelings. Some days we love this quarantine because we can have family time that is precious and we’ll never forget. Some days we are pulling our hair out and hiding in the closet eating chocolate just to get five minutes alone.
Parents have limits, different limits, so comparing yourself to someone else or vise versa is just not productive. Not only that, but it’s wrong. It hurts others, and eventually (I’m willing to bet) will hurt you in some way.
We’re all struggling, we’re all trying to do our best, we’re all wanting to go back to the norm. So let’s show some kindness, spread the love, and be encouragements to one another!
With all that being said, we have compiled a list of products that we’ve been using during this quarantine time to keep our kids busy. We love the brands that we work with and want to showcase them too, because everyone is having a tough time staying afloat right now. We hope that these products will make life a bit easier for you, and a little more fun for your kiddos.
