Life feels a little funny these days, doesn’t it? Months ago, when we heard of the pandemic coming to the United States, we had no clue what that meant. And in many ways, we still don’t. We were forced to slow down our busy lives, as parents returned to their homes to work from there. […]

I’m writing this from my bedroom floor, hidden behind a pile of laundry where my children won’t find me. This is social distancing at its finest, right? What a pickle, folks.
