Its been a year since I’ve written a real post on this page, life just got away from me. My job was so busy, helping take care of grandchildren and all the rest of it had me running like a chicken with my head cut off. But now with Covid-19, I’ve been forced to come to a grinding halt with all the activity in my life. I am on a 90 day furlough from work and quarantined with my husband, my daughter and her two children. Also recently my mother in law has come to live with us. Now I have time to write suddenly and so here I am.

Today more than any time in recent history we are all forced to do more with less, a skill I have honed for many years. Things will need to change in so many ways for all of us for the foreseeable future. Things are opening but the effects of our little halt in our life remains to be seen, will it be a small blip on the radar or will it be years until we are back to any kind of normalcy? Since I have no crystal ball I will be hoping for the best and planning for the worst. It is amazing to me that such a short time can bring us all to our knees.

I am “back” and here to share as much as I can about how to get by with less.
