It All Began With Isolation

March, March, March

When you’re trying to keep your cool as the world falls apart, your focus refocuses (is that a thing?). So, I went from wife, mama, teacher…the norm….to all those things plus life in quarantine. I was scared. Everything was changing. I had to refocus and find the silver lining. For me, it was being home with my babies.

Being a stay at home mom is something I can only dream of currently so the change of pace really sang to me (ps, I teach Chorus🤣). I decided to use my teaching super powers to plan activities. The first was a container garden.

All in all, it was successful but also planted too late in the year causing lots of shriveled dead things. Never mind that…

I can’t help but plan and my oldest is the same. This basically grew into Penny’s STEAM Lab. I love helping my little learner flourish and grow. She’s hungry for education. Dad only agreed because it was educational and a way to give other kids in quarantine a way to keep learning too! The thing is, I couldn’t stop there (you know, the planning problem I mentioned)…you see we all love to learn in our house. My personal specialty is baking and cooking, our toddler’s is sensory learning and getting in to things she shouldn’t, and my husband’s is anything book smart and manly (insert wifely eye roll).

So here we are, 6 months after the pandemic started, blogging about our learning and project adventures. Let the adventure begin…or continue.
