Because a few days ago we reconditioned our old printer which has been sitting in the attic for a long time, we decided to start the day coloring. We printed a lot of coloring pages and made a coloring storybook by stapling some of them together.

It took me a while to find enough free time to write this StayAtHome Journal. The world is a mess, people are scared and children are confused. We’ve been staying at home for a while now and it’s not easy. We have to do our job right, spend time with our daughter, do a lot more cooking and cleaning.
