Raise Your Hand If You Are A Parent That's Had Enough Of Virtual Learning?

 






I am over virtual learning because I think that my children need real socialization. This pandemic has forced us into virtual learning because I believe that is was the safest option for my children. We believe that is was the safest and right option for us, now we are looking at the possibility of doing in person learning next school year. I feel hopeful with the new vaccines that are available that we can, conquer this terrible virus known as covid-19. It has been convenient to attend class, meeting and work from the comfort of our own home. However, it has become tiresome to a degree. I hope that navigating safety in the summer and fall  season will be more feasible. We are all excited and happily awaiting an end to this pandemic. I stand firm on my stance that I will be glad to see happy smiling school children flocking to the schools once again. What are your thoughts about virtual learning? Are you enjoying the convenience of virtual learning or are you ready to get back to regular life before covid?

Moms, Thumbs Up Or Thumbs Down For The Covid-19 Vaccine For Your Child.

 I would like to hear your opinions. 

First, let me say that this is a personal choice and everyone is free to do what is best for their family. 

No one will be shamed here for giving their child the covid-19 vaccine and no one will be shamed for not getting the vaccine either. This is really a personal choice and whatever decision we make for our families will be the best decision. 

This year has been draining, I have seen so many people pass away and seen others very ill. For me personally, I had my mind made up before the vaccine even became available. I was against taking the vaccine, because there were just too many unknowns about it. Over a year later after having seen so many people suffering, I am starting to see things in a different light. After seeing loved ones suffer with this terrible virus, I want to be safe as possible. I have been hot and cold about taking the vaccine for a few months. However, I am leaning towards getting the vaccine. If I do end up getting it, I will probably still wear my mask until I feel comfortable not doing so in public. The vaccine has just been approved for children 12 years old to 15 years old. I am sure parents everywhere are trying to figure out if the vaccine it right for their child. It's a hard decision and I am sure that it has been for you as well. 

Whatever decision that you make, trust that it is the best decision.  


Vaccine OR No Vaccine!?

Moms, speak on it!! Are You Over Virtual Learning?

 Moms, for those of us who have opted to keep our children at home during the pandemic, and some of us may not have a choice I must add. I am interested to know your thoughts about virtual school. How have you and your child doing being home for such a long extended period of time? 

I personally, never thought that I would see the day that my children would actually want to go to school. It's been over a year and at first all the virtual meetings seemed very convenient. Having the virtual meeting was convenient because I didn't need to get in the car and sit in traffic to attend these meetings. However, right about now I am in virtual meeting overload. Not to mention my children are tired of sitting in the same room looking at the same computer screen. My children are restless and so am I, and when we do go out as a family we have to be extra cautious because of this invisible virus. In my son's words "I miss the days when we could go out and not worry about anything". I totally agree with him!! 

Because of all the reasons I mentioned, my children will definitely be attending school in person in September. Even if it's just a hybrid schedule where they attend a few days out of the week. I think it's good for them to have some sense of normalcy. This is where I am at this point, I will go about it in a safest way possible to make our transition back to some sort of normalcy. 

Moms, speak on it!!! 

Are you over it like I am?

What are your thoughts about virtual learning?

Pandemic Mother's Day X 2

 Mommies,

I just have a short word of encouragement for you today. 

As we celebrate our second Mother's Day in this pandemic, be encouraged and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Motherhood is not easy and add a pandemic to it to make it more complicated. We are still here and spending time with our loved ones is especially heart warming around this time. Hold those cute little kids and enjoy every moment.

I hope you get lots of hugs and kisses on this Mother's Day!!

You are deserving of love and happiness!
