Hey everyone! I noticed it’s been a while since I’ve made a presence here on modernmami. I would say it’s been because of the coronavirus pandemic, but that wouldn’t be entirely truthful.

Today marks day 24 of our in-home isolation (or quarantine if you prefer to call it that) due to the worldwide coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Who knew when we welcomed the new year, that three months later we would find ourselves here? The past few weeks have been a mix of fun family time, challenges, learning curves, and stress. I will not pretend that I have been ok through all of it; I have definitely shed my share of tears. It has been tough for me to get used to being home every single day 24/7. I don’t even get a small reprieve from things that often were an annoyance, like driving in ..read more

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Turtle Beach. With a gaming husband who’s been playing video games since he was a child, it’s only natural that his love for games would be picked up and shared by our kids. Both our teen girl and soon-to-be tween boy enjoy the world of video games – our boy just a tad bit more – and truly enjoy playing along with Dad! As they get older, in addition to couch co-op games, they’re beginning to enter the world of online play, even if just within our house since we have multiple gaming consoles. This requires better gaming audio and mics – a ..read more

Meal planning has many benefits, with helping to keep your family’s budget on track and using up food before it spoils being just a couple.

Plus, meal planning helps our family use our two-week grocery purchase effectively – less waste! Here’s our family’s weekly meal plan for this week ..read more

Don’t be fooled by Pikachu’s small size in the new live-action film from the POKÉMON franchise, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu. It brings him and many more POKÉMON to life in a big way. That’s coming from someone who’s never been much of a POKÉMON fan – it was popular after I was too old for it, but my little brothers loved it. And now my son enjoys it! I also never imagined it would still be around for this generation of kids…I’ll rephrase that, both kids and adults!
