Mother's day is this Sunday

With the Pandemic going on, it may be difficult to celebrate Mother's Day the same way you would any other year. So if you aren't in a position to see her in person, then I recommend setting up a 45 minute zoom meeting with her. That way, you can have a conversation face too face, while also being a safe distance apart. I would also recommend sending her a gift via that mail, perhaps even having her open it on camera so you can see the surprise in her eyes.

If you are still living in the same household as her, and as such can spend the entire day with her safely, then I recommend these classic Mother's Day surprises. First of all, clean the house for her while she watches whatever she wants. This day is all about her, so she shouldn't have to lift a finger, unless it is for scrolling through Netflix. Secondly, give her a gift that shows you care. It can be hand made, or sore bought; just be sure that it is a gift that represents her interest (i.e. get her some Star Trek memorabilia if she's a Trekie). Finally, make her some hand made dinner from scratch. I would recommend looking up some recipes for One-Pot Pasta's, since those are delicious and easy to make. You can also try looking up some recipes here on the blog, I recommend the Meatball recipe myself.

Follow these steps, and your mother will certainly enjoy the day dedicated to her.

Keep a Planner When you’re working from home, it can be easy to forget what time, day, or even week it is. Keeping a planner and updating it daily is vital for keeping track of due dates and schedules. When you don’t have a regular class schedule, it’s important to keep a planner so that you know when your Zoom meetings are, when your assignments are due, and how that fits in with the rest of your schedule. There are so many online planner resources if you prefer to do it on your phone or computer; otherwise, Amazon has excellent planner options as well. 2. Continue to Use a School Bag I know it sounds kind of strange to use a bag when you’re staying home all day, but hear me out. If you still keep all of your stuff in your bag, not only have you contained the mess of schoolwork that you have, but y...
