Meet Zac of Dex, Jae and Zac the three Pygmy goats who are part of my clan up here. When one is pushed ( really hard) to follow ones dreams- one gets goats . Daily Goat Therapy ( which means feeding and caring for them ) releases so much serotonin in me ( the Feel Good in all of us ). #gonerural #singlemom. #followyourdreams #walkthewalk #covid_19 #northernontario #dontbeafraid #strongerthanyouthink #goats #pygmygoats #rurallife #killaloe #workfromhome

Small towns are also experiencing food insecurity and I do love to cook. 18 containers of Chicken Noodle Soup with Vegetables are now all tucked away in my deep freezer waiting to be delivered to my local food bank. Good for the soul- mine and theirs . #foodbank #cookforothers #chickennoodlesoup #foodinsecurity #everyoneshouldhavefood #feedingthoseinneed #feedingothers #covid_19

It’s been a while with many changes. Covid hit and I packed and got out of Dodge. Followed my heart to the middle of nowhere Ontario-I call it paradise. #gonerural #northernontarioliving #ruralliving #followedmyheart #strongsinglemom #myjourney

Wow has Covid 19 brought on crazy challenges with children going between two homes. Many times homes that are not keeping the same Covid protection levels and even more times that one of the homes may be a blended family meaning even more children cross paths with their schedules. And then there are the homes where with everyone working from home and children learning virtually that "step- parenting" or being a "step-sibling" has become even more difficult. I honestly do not have the answers, but have work on a family by family basis to figure out the best plan possible. Its encouraging to hear this women's story of how she is handling Covid blended family challenges. https://www.besthealthmag.ca//blended-family-during-covid/ https://www.besthealthmag.ca//blended-family-during-covid/

Statistics are showing that the stressors of Covid are leading to many marriages failing and people deciding to separate and divorce. I found this article interesting as it is location specific. https://www.cbc.ca//divorce-covid-pandemic-northern-ontari
