YOU MADE IT! The end of another week. Huzzah! As you hold your millionth conference or Zoom call of the week, see if you can crack this fun quiz: Name The Senator!
BABY ANNOUNCEMENT!
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Ellis George Ritacco! He arrived on Tuesday, March 24 at 4:23 a.m. weighing in at 6 pounds, 2 ounces. He is thriving, smiling, loves his family and is eating great! Big brother Sonny is very proud, as are mom and dad. (If you were following our office gambling ring, Madison won!).
OUR FAVORITE CLICKS:
British Sports Commentator on Daily Life
Security Guard Tweets from Cowboy Museum
WEEKEND ENTERTAINMENT - Binge-worthy shows:
Molly’s picks: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Outlander
Hannah’s picks: Succession, Below Deck, and my husband and I started through the Harry Potter movies 6 days ago. Not sure what we’ll do after we hit #7…
Haley’s picks: Tiger King on Netflix. Absolutely WILD story. Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu - but read the book by Celeste Ng first!
Isaac’s picks: Fleabag on Amazon Prime as well as Great British Bake Off on Netflix. The Office has proved very soothing so far.
MENTAL HEALTH
Let’s face it, we are all experiencing some ups and downs. This is an excellent read to help unpack those feelings.
I’m reading way too much about homeschooling kids or scary statistics, so taking up MEDITATION is my new go-to and, let’s face it, I probably needed the advice in this article anyway. I plan to check out this app that was originally started for kids and young adults - mindfulness can go a long way for kids feeling too cooped up as well! Another office favorite on this list is Insight Timer.
Another amazing thing for your mental health is EXERCISE! These two neighbors of Molly’s in Kensington are incredible personal trainers. Kellie Redmond is the cross country and track coach at Wootton High School in addition to other fitness instruction and training. Check out Kellie's instagram for some free workouts. She will also do private Zoom training so reach out to her to set something up! Kristine Oleson does dance cardio, which sounds easy, but it will give you the most intense workout! After you create a free profile, there are three free 15-minute classes you can download. Do one, two or all three. You will be sore and can brag about that to your friends for at least one day. Enjoy!
Thank you for all the kind notes about our first blog! Wow! That felt awesome. We’d love to keep connecting so please send more notes and let us know how you are doing. Because we are all in this together.
Until next time!
