The First 2 Weeks of the 2020 Pandemic

Allow me to take you back into my journal for a few snippets from early March- specifically, the first 2 weeks of isolating at home, due to the pandemic of 2020!

Wednesday, March 11th

The World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.

Month in Review - March 2010

Welcome April! :)

In March I made a couple of changes to the blog:

- a new background
- a new dropdown menu at the top of the blog (this took a lot of coding, so if you're checking it out & find any links that don't work right, please let me know!)
- a handy little tabbed feature at the bottom of the blog that will hopefully make navigating a little easier and the blog less cluttered.
Check it out! :)

Month in Review - January 2010

I thought it would be fun to be able to take a quick look back on some of what we've done each month, so I'm going to do a "Month in Review" each month. Januay's is a little late, but here it is:

1. Melted Crayon Wax Suncatcher

2. Valentine Toast

3. Candy Cane Cake

4. Peanut Butter Cookies

5. Sticker Tracing

6. Shape Sorting

7. Number Wheel

8. Painting with Pompoms

9. Painting Pinecones

10. Family Tree

11. Indoor Skating

12. Painting with String

Somehow I added a couple that were from February by accident. I'd change it but I already made the collage in Photoshop and I really don't feel like re-doing it.
