🌧☀️❄️What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?🌧☀️❄️⠀

Just when we were getting in the groove with our family neighborhood walks and outside breaks? RAIN RAIN RAIN. It’s going to be dumping down buckets of rain here in Southern California. So let’s talk rainy day fun (come on guys, some of you are pros here…..if you live in areas where it rains or snows a ton……we need your suggestions).⠀
.⠀
A few of my favorite rainy day kids’ activities:⠀
🌈we have a basket of books about rainy days that we love to read including this one (Bruce’s Big Storm) and A Rainbow of My Own⠀
💦soup making (doesn’t a rainy day just call for soup?)⠀
🌈puddle jumping (us southern californians don’t get THAT much use out of our rain gear so Lydia’s always especially excited about this one)⠀
💦measuring the rain, we try to put a measuring cup outside to see how much we can collect⠀
🌈rainbow art……this time we’re going to watercolor rainbows⠀
.⠀
Let’s create a list of activities to help each other out. What are YOUR favorite rainy day activities?

🎤ok, let’s have a family meeting about this whole “I’m gaining the Co-vid 19” thing.🎤⠀
.⠀
Are you snacking more? Sitting more? Probably. GUYS THIS IS A NATIONAL PANDEMIC. We’re sheltering in place. Of course you are. I’ve caught myself more than once this week spiraling about this. And I know that’s not healthy.⠀
.⠀
Goals? For me?⠀
-walk everyday with Lydia and Robbie because our neighborhood walks make me happy⠀
-go running alone because I need to social distance from these humans I live with for at least 30 minutes a day for my own sanity⠀
-bake and enjoy what we make because Lydia and I are having fun doing it⠀
-remind myself that a pound or two or ten up or down……is not the measure of my worth, my goal is to treat my body with grace and kindness ALL THE TIME⠀
-get back to complimenting myself everyday, it’s easy to lose that in the stress of all this⠀
-stay healthy, stay home, and wear a bathing suit just cause I can⠀
.⠀
What do you think about all this? Have you been joking about gaining the 19 pounds? Does it actually worry you? Are you feeling insecure? Let’s discuss.⠀
.⠀
Ps (in case it’s not obvious, this glorious pool isn’t ours…..this is an old picture from our Just Wear the Suit weekend at Pechanga Resort last fall). #justwearthesuit #alonetogether #stayhome

💕Can I get a double tap if you have a little extra love for teachers right now?!?💕⠀
.⠀
Tonight’s post seem like the perfect one to talk about teachers because Doc Hudson? One of the greats right? Where would Lightning McQueen be without him? Now let’s get into it. How much appreciation do you have for the teachers in your life right about now. Let me tell you, from personal experience…..teaching is a lot more than a job……it’s a calling. It’s a gift. It’s a part of who you are. The teachers in your life? Are missing their students something crazy. Virtual teaching is NOT what any of us were trained to do, and this is hard. Hard on the kids. Hard on the parents. Hard on the teachers. Let’s turn this into a shout out post. Give a shout out to the teachers in your life. Tell them WHY you love them. Tell them how grateful you are. I’m planning to select a few mentioned in the comments to send a small thank you gift to.⠀
.⠀
ps, this post is a part of @colormemagic ’s #colormeparkhopper….today is Disney California Adventure and y’all know I love DCS something fierce. From Carsland to the Pixar Pier, it’s so unique and I miss it. It may be my first stop when we get back to Disneyland in the future.⠀
.⠀
Shoutout to @uniquevintage - this jumpsuit was my perfect Carsland attire for our nighttime at Disneyland shoot. And shoutout to the talented @katiepritchard for these stunning photos!

💪🏻Not All Heroes Wear Capes……..💪🏻⠀
.⠀
Been thinking a lot this weekend about how we can thank those on the front lines of this. Ideas? Suggestions?⠀
.⠀
A few thoughts I had:⠀
-gas gift cards ⠀
-have a friend or neighbor who is working to fight this? Ask if you can pick up their groceries for them, leave them on their doorstep⠀
-listen to what they NEED from us…..stay home and follow medical advice from trusted sources⠀
.⠀
Weigh in family: ideas for how we can support our heroes? And if you’re one of the amazing men and women fighting to protect us all…..what do you need? What do you want us to know? Open forum, here we go:

🌟Wondering How We’re Gonna Get Through This?

📚And then, they rested. They were closer to each other as they were further away. Neighbors helped neighbors through fences and by leaving needed supplies on doorsteps. Children spent more time with their parents, and were SEEN, really seen for the first time in a long time. There were endless board games (and endless video games and screen time sessions). People used the food they had before they bought more. They called friends they hadn’t spoken to in far too long. They checked on the elderly. They paid more attention to politicians. And in the end…..they came out of it better than they went in. With more love, compassion, understanding, and appreciation for the heroes who lead the way.📚⠀
.⠀
This is scary. This is hard. But we’re watching pages of history books be written day by day. Stay home. Listen to medical professionals. Thank the heroes on the front lines of this battle and every essential worker out there (teachers that’s you too, god BLESS all of you!). They’re fighting for all of us. From our family, THANK YOU. For everything all of you out there are doing. #flattenthecurve #hangaheart
