Can we be really honest for a second? We’re feeling a little overwhelmed with everything going on right now. Navigating social distancing, working from home & homeschooling our littles has everyone on our team trying to figure out their new normal. But here’s the thing: with so much change and chaos, we’ve never felt closer and more proud of our communities. There is SO much good in the world, if we choose to look for it. We’ve spent the past few days gathering some resources to share with you because maybe you’re overwhelmed with this new normal too. Have something to add? Leave it in the comments and we’ll be periodically updating this post.
