There is so much skepticism right now about Covid-19 and what is actually necessary. While I feel like most people around me are very polarized in terms of full on avoidance and others couldn't care less about what is happening, I am in the middle trying to educate myself before over-reacting or taking action. If … Continue reading Eight Things to Do At Home During ‘Social Distancing’
Happy Friday! What a week it has been! Jack and I got a visit from my mom this week. I shared a personal post about grief and miscarriage.

I wasn't sure wether or not I wanted to write this post.
