After almost two months of homeschooling, it's time to admit that I really don't know what in the heck I'm doing. But I think there is one key to not feeling like a total failure, and it's really pretty simple.

If away camps are canceled this summer, virtual camps may be a big rescue for parents, and these are free! The kids can learn Spanish, watch animals, and crack a case as a CSI.

There is a fine line between being careful and prepared and giving into a culture of fear. That's what I arrived at this weekend after conversations and news about COVID19 and all things Coronavirus.

I'm no expert but I am a mom with a heart, and I wanted the kids to be informed but not scared about the Coronavirus. This is what I told them.
