Moms are masters at multitasking. Even in the midst of a pandemic. We salute moms this Mother’s Day as you parent, work, cook (or order take out), school, clean and manage the physical, mental and emotional health of your families. We hope you’ll find solidarity in the words of some of our favorite recent Weekend Warrior blogs from metro mamas below. Multitasking moms
“Maybe this pandemic is a way for us to step off the ‘life’ wheel for a second and breathe. A method for us to find ourselves again, hug our children harder, thank our spouses and remember that life could change in an instant.” @SashaHughes shares how she’s dealing with uncertainty at metrofamilymagazine. com/we-can-push-through.
“One hour dragged into a full 10 hours of miserable funk, and when I went to bed that night, I didn’t know what would make it better. What I did know: I couldn’t spend another day like that.” @sunshineinmynest gets vulnerable in sharing how she got back to herself at metrofamilymagazine.com/20- ways-to- beat-the-social-distancing-funk.
“Today, I’m going to take a long, hot bath. No, you cannot get in too. No, not even ‘just your feet.’ This bath is mine.” @AlyShahan1 pens her hilarious take on what she really wants for Mother’s Day at metrofamilymagazine.com/mothers-day- request.
“Instead of focusing on the struggles and fears that are out of our control, zeroing in on the beauty and courage of humanity each day has been uplifting.” @movebymadi shares her challenges and gratitude as a pregnant mom of two littles married to a frontline physician at metrofamilymagazine.com/spouse- frontline-physician.
“You know when the flight attendant says to put on your mask before you help someone else with theirs? Well, this is one of those cases. You have to take care of yourself so that you can have the energy and mindset for working with your children at home.” Torie Shoecraft shares her focus on rou- tine, reading and rest at metrofamilymag- azine.com/quarantine-homeschool.
“Working parents are not OK. Maybe after all this is said and done, I can add ‘actress’ to my resume since each day takes some performing to get through.” Koshia Silver gets real about what it’s like to manage a career, kids and marriage in quarantine, and what she’s doing to help other parents, at metrofamilymagazine. com/working-parents-covid.
