The ever-evolving coronavirus situation can be a bit daunting. “Social distancing,” and “quarantine” are becoming frequent vocabulary words in our everyday conversations. The whole thing can feel downright overwhelming. We trust it is a season and we know that every season eventually changes.
Miami Moms Blog is here to encourage, equip, and empower you through this season with Coronavirus & Social Distancing: A Resource Guide for Moms. We want to help you love and lead your family in this time.
In solidarity, we have created this guide filled with articles, activities, printables, and ideas to help you not only survive the quarantine, but thrive with your kids!
Collectively, we can do this Mamas!
Disclaimer: We are not medical professionals. We simply aim to provide resources that will help you in this season. Because of the constantly evolving developments surrounding Coronavirus we suggest you stay up-to-date with government official websites.
