WHILE AT HOME WITH KIDS EDITION: WEEK 3

How to keep things light and maybe even fun

This weekend was the first time my family and I took a mental break from Covid 19, and what that meant for us was doing absolutely nothing but sleeping, being lazy, eating sweets, watching movies and laughing together. For the time being it was easy to forget isolation and reality outside of our walls. But it was also a good reminder that no matter how hard this is there are always reasons to be happy.

How are you all doing? Are you finding new ways to connect or develop new traditions that you may continue once this is all done? 

Since I didn't get a chance to post anything here this weekend I need to play catch up as the list of great resources is piling up.  

A friend sent me this link for another great information hub. Check it out, lots of links so I won't post them all individually (maybe the top unique ones). Besides academics the links include well being (mental and physical) and technology resources and tips and many others. The site is worth checking out!
