Staying home has been rough... i haven't had my hair done professionally since March.. I haven't been to gym since March, I haven't been to the beach or zoo since before March, but I'm healthy and learning how to do exercises at home 🏡....so life is good just different...my ice cream binges didn't help my stomach early on but it's a work in progress... we got this.. #momlife #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CDod03BgAKG/?igshid=o4j5zjqv7ro0

Using this time at home to make things grow....🌱 Reminds us to take care of the things in life we can control.. Try to worry less, plan better, and don't lose control... don't make permanent decisions about temporary situations 🌞 keep your thoughts positive... https://www.instagram.com/p/CCv76fmg4ih/?igshid=p0bbxw7yc54u

I decided to try Amazon Freetime to compare to Epic which was provided for free by my son's school this year. He seems to like the selection of ebooks thus far on Freetime. The only downside is we couldn't find books that read to him. He doesn't always like to read the books so having the option to have the books read to him is really valuable as I'm not always free to read to him. Epic has read to me books. He also likes the ebooks that you can click on a word and it pronounces it, so far we haven'tfpund this feature in books on Freetime. #amazonfreetime #freetime #kidsbooks #epicbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcLB0QA0Xu/?igshid=rnksr7vkbe7e

Look for beauty in everything... this life reset (quarantine) is giving me continual moments to breathe...reenergize...and reconsider maybe the things I thought were important really weren't that important at all.. I was just too busy to notice moving from this to that... life needs a pause... a reflection period to access what the heck you are doing and do you want to continue on that path or get off on the next exit to take a detour... this forced detour is a test... whether you pass or fail is up to you... 🤔 but you probably won't get another opportunity to pause in this way again ❤ #love #life #blogger #reflection #momlife #quarantine #pause #losangeles (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aaB9dAB_d/?igshid=1qfzck68yl0cg

So I decided to make the patio comfy for doggy... so I got a canopy cot... apparently it isn't hot enough to inspire doggie 🐕 to take advantage of the shade..😎 as she's laying next to it....in due time.. hopefully she won't be out here barking her head off...🤣🤣 #shihtzu #cali #lalife (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dfa3CALn2/?igshid=86vz205q9ubc
