Five on Friday - March 20, 2020

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is practicing social distancing so we can get this virus knocked out.  I know it will be a bigger challenge over the weekend, but hopefully, everyone will use judgment.  One thing that is safe is reading blogs, so let me share my five with you today ~

1.  Stay at Home Book Tour
One of the activities I know I'm going to miss is going to the library to see a couple authors that had planned stops.  Anne Bogel, the author of Don't Overthink It, is hosting a Stay at Home Book Tour.  Every day next week a different author will be hosting Zoom events to chat about their book.  Here's the schedule ~

All events to take place the week of March 23; all times EDT.
Monday: Patti Henry, Becoming Mrs. Lewis, noon
Tuesday: Leesa Cross-Smith, So We Can Glow, 7pm
Wednesday: Anne Bogel, Don’t Overthink It, noon
Thursday: Kimmery Martin, The Antidote for Everything, 7pm
Friday: Ariel Lawhon, Code Name Hélène, 11am

Visit Ann's Modern Mrs. Darcy blog (HERE) to sign up.  I'm excited to see how the first one goes on Monday!

2.  Tips to Structure Learning from Home

My friend Linda, who is a retired teacher and instructional coach, added a fantastic blog post this week to her site that will help all the parents who are now facing homeschooling their children.  You can find it HERE.  It's packed full of resource links and helpful hints to make your experience good for both you and your children.  

3.  Hallmark Christmas Movie Marathon

The Hallmark Channel really stepping up and doing their best to keep everyone's spirits high.  This weekend they will be bringing back 27 of their "Countdown to Christmas" movies.  Starting Friday at noon and going until Sunday evening, you can curl up on the couch and veg on all the Christmas cheer you can stand.  Thanks Hallmark for doing the right thing!

4.   Aromatherapy Shower Tablets

Let's face it, the world is a little bit stressful right now.  I love starting my day in a relaxing way by popping an aromatherapy tablet in the shower.  As the tablet fizzes, a light scent fills the shower.  You will be able to feel the stress and tension melt away!  Grab some for yourself!  They come three to a box so you could also bust the pack up and give one to three of your friends.  

                       

5.  Don't do it....

Be wise and safe out there!  We will get through this challenging time as we all work together to contain this crazy virus.  Remember to support the small businesses in your area.  I'll be back next week to share some fun stuff with you!
