The days of going to the Milk Bar and asking for a bag of mixed lollies for only $1 will always be ingrained in our minds!  "I'll have 2 chocolate freckles please, 3 gummy bears, 2 musk sticks and don't forget my lollypop!" We never had pre-mixed bags of lollies; we always created our own mix of sweets no matter how long it took. We loved the feeling of the white paper bags in our hands and the delicious treats that were waiting inside to try. Those were the days... Now you can re-create these memories at home with our Iconic Candy Jar. Comes complete with all the yummiest lollies, paper bags and more...

Even before the pandemic, it was hard work to be a parent. And now, as parents we might be pulling our hair out with the extra stress of trying to a be a teacher now too. Being a parent is hard work – meaningful, rewarding, wouldn’t-trade-it-for-the-world – but hard work even more so now.. So take care of yourself and keep your cup full.  If you don’t do things to keep your cup full, you have nothing left to give or share with others.

I have put together some ways we try to manage our stress and anxiety daily during Covid-19. These are just some small things we can try help ourselves and our families as we navigate our way through this. Taking care of our mental health is something that I personally have been working on in the last few years and now seems needed more than ever. On an airplane, we’re instructed to put on our own oxygen masks first, before helping a child do the same.  If you think that’s a crazy idea, realize that you’re not much help to anyone if you’ve passed out due to lack of oxygen because you tried to help everyone else first.

Put your oxygen mask on first and please stay safe.
