Testing 1, 2, 3?? Is this thing on?

Well, it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve written to you guys, but I think in times of turmoil we return to what we know. You all were such an incredible support system to me for so long, and in times of crisis it’s important to stick together. To get back into the swing of things, I thought I would just start by making a gratitude list.

1. The fact that my kids are friends. They have been so supportive of each other, and it’s been refreshing to see.

2. Our incredible teachers who gave us so many awesome activities.

3. My instagram community. I love all my friends on there and keeping in touch with everyone. I’ve started a highlight section of my favorite Corona Quarantine activities if you want to go see.

4. FaceTime with family and friends. We’ve done a FaceTime story time with someone every night, and it’s been my favorite part of the day. It’s kind of like having a babysitter for a little while, which is so welcome. I’ve streamed it to our TV, which makes the kids super engaged.

5. My awesome Beacham & Company marketing team for adapting so beautifully to this “new normal” and creating unique and useful pieces. I became the Sr. Marketing Director at Beacham last year, and I’m so excited about the work were doing.


Everything is new, and each day presents new challenges. Today was harder than yesterday. The future is just so unclear; however, I’ve found so much comfort in this.

Also… THIS story about the canals in Venice running clear makes my heart SO SO happy.

See you all soon. Stay safe.
