Social distancing isn’t going to stop us from bringing you a new episode! On the show this week, we’re catching you up on our lives during this quarantine. All kinds of great things that are happening now that we’re stuck indoors - Paulina is spending more time with the girls (even though they’re fighting every day 🤣) and Zixta is finally potty trained! Bricia is still working out every day and doing art studio time with Eduardo, and they’re also spending more time with their dog, Diego.
Even though we are feeling stressed and anxious, we’re using this time to think positively, be grateful and tap into our creativity with art & cooking. Have you seen Paulina’s #supermamasgratitudechallenge on Instagram? Check out the video to learn more about how you can stay positive while we’re all at home these next few weeks. Will you make a gratitude jar to remember to stay thankful when all of this is over?
Pick or Tip of the Week
Bricia’s tip for this quarantine period is don’t throw away your recycling items: boxes, egg cartons, and packing supplies! Kids don’t need toys because they can create so much with leftover boxes, paint, stickers, markers, glue and more. All you have to do is look online for crafts, for example, google “egg carton craft” and you’ll find a variety of activities to choose from.
Paulina’s tip is the gratitude jar from her IGTV post. You can use it as a reminder of all the good things you have going on in your life regardless of the situation we are currently experiencing. Have your family add to it everyday and at the end of this social isolation, go through all the papers and know you survived something so tough. it’s a way to stay grounded and connected with the family during this tough time.
