Hi, friends.  I hope you are doing well and staying healthy.  These are certainly strange times for everyone.  I hope you have had and continue to have more good days than bad throughout all of this.  Know that you are doing a fantastic job on your remote-teaching adventure!  To the moms and dads out there that are suddenly working from home while continuing to teach your students: YOU ROCK and are a true inspiration.

  

We have been trying to keep our dinners simple...I am not much of a cook, because I am typically on my own for dinner.  My husband usually has client dinner appointments and I am left to fend for myself.  During the stay-at-home order, my hubby has been the one to grocery shop.  He goes out once a week and gets everything we need.  Because of this, I try to keep his grocery list simple and not include "weird things that he can't find" (as he would say!).  We've gotten into a groove with a few basic meals that we cook each week.  One of them is homemade pizza.  Back when we were in college, my husband worked at a pizza place and delivered pizza.  He would also help make the pizzas.  So naturally, "pizza night" during the quarantine is his gig.  Which I am totally fine with!  It gives me a night off from cooking.  His pizza is so good!  However, we never make homemade pizza!  Now that I know his skills are on-point, I think this will be added in as a weekly Friday or Saturday night meal (once the quarantine is over).

I created a handout for you to share with parents to give them some tips for at-home learning.  Several of my students' families have shared that their kids aren't wanting to do the work packs that were sent home by my district.  I thought this tip sheet would help families navigate these strange times.  You can click HERE to grab it.

I have been keeping up with a good skincare routine since we have been home.  Duh.  We've had so much extra time on our hands...there is really no excuse for not doing so!  My absolute favorite skincare is Fre.  It's formulated especially for women who workout and sweat!  Right now, Fre is offering you 40% off their products.  They also offer a 100% money back guarantee should you not be satisfied with their products.  You can click HERE to check out Fre's website.  Use my code: meganwheeler44741 to get the discount.  Hurry, because this offer only lasts until April 30!!!

I recommend starting with the 123 kit.  It has a great face wash, serum, and SPF moisturizer included.  I also especially love the "Detox Me" face mask (smells exactly like a spa and feels so good!).  I use the "Recover Me" at night (it is soo moisturizing!).  I also have the "I am Love" oil which is great for anytime when you need a boost of moisture.  You can use it all over your body.  I love it for my face and neck.

Fun fact: when you buy a Fre set, Fre plants an Argan tree in Morocco.  Love this!

More wild weather in Ohio.  It was 80 a week and a half ago and earlier this week, it was below freezing with frost warnings.  One day last week, we even had a hail storm.  Bizarre!

I got some new pads for my Bissell Spinwave.  You've probably seen me share my love for the Spinwave on my Instagram page (@mrswheeler44) for a few years now!  I use it weekly on our original hardwood floors as well as in our kitchen and bathroom (which are both tile).  It does a fantastic job and the pads pop off and go into the washing machine.  Click the photo below to grab yourself a Spinwave!! *affiliate link*

On Easter Sunday, I made lasagna and forgot to have Mr. Wheeler get garlic bread at the store.  I improvised by using some almost-stale hamburger buns.  I brushed on some butter, added minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.  It was YUMMY!!!  I've really learned how NOT to waste food during this pandemic.

Stay healthy.
