Hey Nathaniel – the stay at home order has definitely been tough and hard to manage. Being
home with no social interaction is something we are not used to. Personally speaking, I have
taken the time to relax and refresh. I found that my normal day to day was so full. I had 2 school
drop-offs, an hour commute to work, a full workday, an hour and a half commute home, and then
2 pickups with after school sports, meal preps, etc. We have made more time for family dinners
at the table, more time for the kids to help around the house, and more time to spend doing
whatever we want like fort-building, bike rides. It is sometimes hard to find the positives in
tough situations, but keeping an open mind and focusing on the good can help you get through!
Stay in there and know it is only temporary.

Hi Maddilynn Burke sounds like you had an extremely busy life. It is a blessing to know that you
get to sit back and relax with your family, I hope you were fortunate enough to still have your job

Jesus, you do not know peace. I am so thankful that God opened my eyes to all of this, he
allowed me to still keep my job and focus more on my artwork and I cannot complain.

Hey there – yes, I was fortunate enough to have my job although it was challenging as I was
homeschooling a 6-year-old and taking care of a 3-year-old all at the same time. I was also
providing all meals and coming up with activities to avoid boredom. So while I was still busy in
a sense, my life was full of things I enjoyed. I loved helping teach my son and being part of his
kindergarten year. That was something that never would have happened with a traditional school
year. My older son is gifted and I suspect that my younger son may also be, so it was nice to be
