Day 14 of #covid19alphabet N is for NETFLIX What would we do without the constant stream of entertainment that is NETFLIX? ( you can throw Amazon Prime in there as well). Binge watch old episodes of "The Office" or "Mad Men"? It's here. Laugh through your

Day 13 of #covid19alphabet M is for MASK Nothing symbolizes the current times more than a MASK... So much confusion, so much insecurity, so much despiration, so much hope embodied by this little thing. Do I need one? Where do I get one? Which one should I

Day 11 of #covid19alphabet K is for KITCHEN Our kitchen has always been a hang out spot in the house, but even more so since my son's school has closed and we've been on "stay at home" mode. The other night was pizza night- Ash and I made dough, we pre-ba

Day 9 of #covid19alphabet I is for INSIDE This is where we live until they tell us it is safe... I sketched the main floor of our townhouse. It's where we spend most of our time, from the first cup of tea in the morning until it's time to head up to bed..

Day 8 of #covid19alphabet H is for HAND CREAM With all the hand washing and hand sanitizing we are forced to do if we want to try to stay healthy, it can make your hands dry and flakey. A good hand cream is essential if you want to avoid "alligator hands"
