Though we rarely get together every single week to share a meal during normal times (life just gets in the way, you know how it goes), there’s something so easy and uplifting about sitting down with your loved ones and catching up over a comfort-food meal that, if you’re lucky, your kids are also willing to eat too. Thanks to social distancing, I know I’ll never take those family get-togethers for granted again.

We’re stuck living in this uncertain season for now but I’m beyond grateful for FaceTime and Zoom to help me stay connected with friends and family as we all get through this time together.
