I cannot believe it is September. I keep asking myself where the time has gone and when Summer will be happening. The answer to that, is Sumer 2020 is over and we are moving ahead. Now in our home, we are preparing for virtual learning and all of the challenges that will come with that. For me, it will be the continued struggle of time and schedule. I “work from home” and love what I do on this site, but time has not been easy to find. Like many of you, the need to add therapies and schooling at home has happened, but nothing has been taken away. Food shopping, cooking and all needed in running the home still have to happen. How are you finding ways to fit all the extra in? I would love to know. Please send me some ideas! There have been many challenges thrown at all of us since March. I have shared month after month, that our focus is to stay healthy and safe- so now we will be continuing to push ahead.

This is going to be a new and challenging time for many of that will be virtually teaching from home with our kids. In our home, I will now become the aide that our son is used to having in school all day. I will be the one to help guide and direct and keep him on task, I am sure he is as tired of my voice too.
