The next you’re the back half of a giant tardigrade.

We’re having a semi-spring break week or two — because we never really take breaks, even at Christmas — and these are two kids looking for the extra hunkering down of Home. So reading out loud, rockstars-in-our-living-room YouTube time, getting a pizza or Popeye’s… and doing extra love. Self-care, family care. Getting outside of homeschool routine. It feels right and good. We will be reporting on this Special Time as it unfolds.

To be loved and appreciated by these people is the greatest accomplishment of my life.
