Anytime you mention homeschooling, a parent's first reaction is to roll their eyes. 'Homeschooling' is not the ideal term, this was not by choice. In better terms, we were doing our best to help our kids learn at home during a pandemic. To help with our groundhog days, we tried to keep a regular routine, work, break, eat, play, repeat. We had stressful home learning moments, meltdowns and emotional outcries of frustration. It wasn't all rainbows but there was some sunshine. It was also a time for our family to be present, a quality time to bond.

My two kids would grow tired of the screen and looked forward to their break on the trampoline. They made up high cardio workout games and it would end with them on their backs looking up at the sky they were trying to touch. Many times, I’ll watch them frolicking from my bedroom window.
