With all we’ve been seeing and hearing lately. .

With all we’ve been seeing and hearing lately. . . It’s easy for fear to creep in. But deciding to dream of brighter days ahead with hope. And looking forward to little things like sitting in crowded restaurants again, BBQ’s in friend’s backyards, splash pad play dates and giving hugs to family and friends. What a sweet day that will be. 💕

We took those vows when we got married. . . “For better or for worse. . . In sickness and in health.” For anyone who said these vows, in this time of crisis they couldn’t be ringing any truer. .
.
Friends, I know that with the kids home this week, and so much uncertainty, we’re all a little tense. Besides all the hugs and cuddles from my kids that make me so happy, I turn to this guy right here—my husband, to keep me calm during this stressful time. .
.
With so much out of our control, we’ve stayed united by sticking together and discussing plans for quarantines, and taking extra precautions with his work clothes and shoes when he returns home from work. .
.
What’s unsettling though, is having “your person” working the front lines. My husband is one of those healthcare workers in the Emergency Department. He sees what’s happening firsthand. And it’s scary. But he’s fearless, he’s calm, and he’s reassuring. . . he’s a leader. .
.
He now shaves his beard before starting his work week so his face mask fits secure. The kids watched with uncertainty as I helped him shave his neck the other night. He quickly told them the weather was getting warmer and it would help Dad stay cooler without a beard. But inside I held back tears feeling like I was helping him prepare for battle. .
.
This is the reality in our home and shaving his beard is just one small action that signifies how daily life has significantly changed; and it’s changed for pretty much all of us. Being a stay-at-home mom, our daily routine and schedules really aren’t different. But what is different is the weight and worry now placed on our shoulders. .
.
I’ll never forget watching a documentary on Mr. Rogers and something he said has always stuck with me. He said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things on the news, my mother would say to me, “look for the helpers. You will always find people helping.” Well I’m looking right at one of those helpers right now—I’m so darn proud to say he’s mine. And I’m right here with him . . . for better or for worse. 💕
.

Who or what keeps you balanced and staying positive during unpredictable times?

Am I the only person who bought the MOST random food for the quarantine? .
.
.
Why do I have frozen peas, cans of tomatoes, Oreos and tons of coffee, yet I left out some ESSENTIALS?! (Please, let’s not talk about how I could really use some bottled water and paper towels right now 🤣). .
.
What random food did you buy in your mad dash at the grocery store?! .
