Dude… dude.
Things have change significantly since I last did a TeaChat life update.
I’ve been working from home for about 3 weeks now and the girls have been eLearning for the same amount of time.
I’m lucky that both my job and my husband’s job allows us to work from home, and that the girls are in a private school that was very prepared for eLearning. Their school was the first in the area to announce the closure on a Friday, by Monday eLearning was fully up and running smoothly.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing since then, I’m not going to lie. It has nothing to do with the school, the school has their sh*t together, however, 99% of my job can be done from home which means that I have the exact same workload I had before, except now I have to homeschool my 5 and 7 year old, who are fairly well-behaved, but still need guidance and need to get their wiggles out.
And, let’s be real, listening to mommy is a little different than listening to your teacher.
Though my husband is home with us – we all sit around the dining room table working together – he is on and off conference calls all day, so I do most of the guiding and prepping each day for school.
Let me tell you how we’ve been (for the most part) surviving:
I hope all of this helps. It’s not perfect around here. I think all of us have cried at some point these past few weeks (except my husband). But we’re falling into a routine and the girls are happy. They barely notice anything is different.
I say “forced family time,” but I absolutely adore every second of it. I’m a homebody, so I’m perfectly happy staying at home with my little family. I do miss my siblings and parents, but we chat on the phone and text all day.
I can’t tell you how warm and fuzzy I feel sitting at the dining room table with my husband and my beautiful girls every day. I’m going to miss them SO much when we have to go back to work. I think that is going to be harder than anything.
My chest hurts just thinking about it.
Anyway… onward to the usual TeaChat updates:
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Maas
This book is taking me so freaking long to read. I ended up downloading the audiobook as well so that I could read it more often. I’m only about 1/4 of the way through. I like it so far, but I don’t love it.
I need an epic love, people. Give me ACOMAF 2.0
Little Women (2019)
Watched Little Women with my 5 and 7yo daughters. They are now calling me Marmie…. just like my sister and I did with our mom when we were the same age and watched the 1949 version on repeat.

I have so many fond memories of this story and this is by far the best adaptation I’ve ever seen. I didn’t think anything could beat that 1949 version, but this absolutely did.
Rainbow Soup!
This is actually an adaptation of a fruit salad (more like soup) that my grandma used to make. You simply combine all the following ingredients (it keeps for around 3-4 days, it’s best on the second day.)
My obsession with this song is never-ending.
This book. I finally read it and now I’m officially obsessed. I loved it so much.
The school is staying virtual until at least May 1, and we’ll be social distancing and staying home until then, too!
