30 acts of kindness
If there is one thing we can do during these trying times, is be more grateful and kind.
Be more appreciative of the things that we DO have versus focusing on everything that we currently DON’T have. I want to shift the focus even if it’s just for a few minutes a day.

Bike rides – we added 3 new bikes to our family. Mainly because the kids outgrew theirs and my husband’s broke. But nevertheless, perfect timing. We have been on a few rides so far and the kids really enjoy it. We just can’t wait for the weather to get a tad better so we can enjoy this activity a lot more. It is such a nice way to get out of the house, burn some energy, enjoy the scenery and get a much needed break from all of the news and eLearning. You can do it alone or together – just do it.
We are even considering adding a bike hitch for our car so we can drive out to different trails and explore more.
Car ride scavenger hunts – A lot of places are closed but that doesn’t mean you can’t drive. Pick a destination and just drive. You can let the kids bring their electronics, watch a movie, read a book, or do a car ride scavenger hunt like we did. Here is one we made and you can download it for free. Have fun!
Don’t forget to take pics and tag @hazel.eyes.mom on Instagram ❤
Hikes – Google map search is your best friend. Now and always. Look up hiking places, parks and forest preserves but be sure to check if they are open. Follow the social distancing rules and enjoy some fresh air. We all need a little peace and serenity in our lives.
Come back next week for 3 more things you can do outdoors and another FREE scavenger hunt.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
Quarantine Mother’s Day
Well there is a first time for everything, isn’t there? Even a quarantine Mother’s Day. 😭
This isn’t exactly how I envisioned 2020. None of us did. But we made it this far and we can make it through the end of this. Let’s just stay positive and do our part: stay home (if you can).
Here are some gifts that will make any lady smile. Happy early Mother’s Day.

Just like that – add teacher to my resume. Just kidding!
So we have been doing this eLearning thing for a few weeks now and the stress level is about the same, if not worse. Am I Right? Are you feeling it too?
This COVID-19 outbreak has really shifted things for so many of us. Our patience is tested on a daily basis and we are quickly realizing that some of us are just not meant for any this. We need guidance and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
You want a few tips? 😁
