5 Sanity Saving Tips from a Working Mom and her Remote Schooling Kids

Lauren Davis

This spring, my 3rd and 7th daughters didn’t learn a whole lot in school, but as we limped across that finish line (my husband escaping to his one-man office while I pretended to focus on my clients and not the dumpster fire beyond my bedroom-turned-office door), we definitely learned some valuable lessons as a family.
