This is my new reality now — how I keep myself sane inside, by making lists. And random doodles. 📝🗒#lifeathome #march2020

Anyone going crazy from this governor-induced requirement of not going outside? I am.... slowly. The solution? Baking, more baking. And baths. Lots of baths, bubbles and more baking. 👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍💻🧖🏾‍♀️🍪🥧☕️🛀🛁🗝🏡

Hey everyone—I know what you’re feeling. It’s the same feelings that I’ve been having lately. We’re living in uncertain times; many of us have lost jobs or have had their hours cut dramatically like my husband has, and nobody knows where this health pandemic is going. BUT I thought I should remind you — on this last day official day of winter (spring begins March 19th!) that there are still good things and that is what I’m focusing on. I don’t want to sound like a self absorbed horn tooting person but at least 1) the weather has been amazing and continues to be, 2) I still have a job and I can work from home 3) I’m generally pretty healthy, 4) I’m in a much better financial state than I was in 2008-09. That said, is it really that bad that this health pandemic is forcing schools to close and people to stay at home? Yeah, it’s bad. But perhaps this is mother nature’s way of saying, “Let’s stay home and enjoy each other.” I mean, we have been living in such a fast paced world for over a decade now (with technology playing a huge role in this), and we’re expected to always be “on”. Maybe it’s time to pause for a moment. Stay home, enjoy your pets, your children, or your partners. I feel lucky that I have a house I love and a husband and kids I adore so it’s not so bad. I’ve spent my time at home doing things like making dinner, running, reading, watching binge-worthy TV, and there are still things that I would like to do and tell myself I would do IF I have more time. Now that I don’t have to travel much I may actually have that time after all. Thanks for hearing me ramble. Happy spring !

Doing math outside in the sunshine while looking fabulous—that’s my girl—smart and nerdy 🧠👗❤️☀️. #thisisseven #lilyquynh #march2020

One of these goof balls turned 7 today (March 4th). Can you guess which one? Hint: it’s the one on the right. My oldest and favorite girl 👧🏻😍 I’m so proud of the person she’s become—funny, thoughtful, smart, and one heck of a writer! #birthdaygirl #thisisseven

I swear—sometimes my daughter’s drawings are better than mine. #love #friendship #drawings #itsalmostherbirthday 😀🤷🏻‍♀️🎂🎁🗓
