My heart has been very heavy with all that I've been seeing in the news lately. As if covid numbers weren't bad enough to track, now I've turned conversations with my husband to "Have you heard about this attack in CA? Have you heard about this attack in NYC?"

For introverts like me, staying at home with family watching TV marathons might easily be the best pasts times. But when you have a 2yo toddler, a Bones marathon (currently streaming on Amazon Prime ) might not be wise and I am not about to loop through hours of Cocomelon.
