✌🏻❤️🌍Social distancing picnic at sundown on the beach = heavenly! 💛 A slight bit chilly but so worth it for some ocean air. #theschwartzfamilyadventures #beachnight #sloaneleah #OAD #quarantine2020 #familytime #day75I’d like to address something that appears to be a hot topic, and I understand why. But I think, it’s important as always for people to hear all sides. We have masks. We have practiced wearing masks. I don’t enjoy them. But I understand the need for them. I RESPECT the rules and the mandates put in place for a reason, and I appreciate those for wearing them to protect me as well. 🖤 That being said, we won’t be going out much. I am not a fan of wearing a mask. It impedes my experiences, accelerates my already high anxiety and it makes me just want to stay home. . So as the world begins to reopen. I am grateful beyond measure. People needed to get back to work. Places needed to be able to reopen. 🖤 So to be clear, I am not protesting masks. I do not think they are evil. I believe they are necessary. And I understand their importance. But we will be continuing to social distance and stay home when at all possible so that we can enjoy our upcoming 100 degree plus summer weather inside the AC with no masks on. It’s our choice. 🖤 One of the hardest things for me to accept about all of this is the level of separation it is causing between families. Friends. Loved ones. And i don’t mean the physical distance. I mean the disagreements. The lack of standardization from city to city, county to county and state to state makes it even harder to try and decide what IS best for you and your family. 🖤 So my family will be continuing on as we have been for the past 11-weeks for the foreseeable future. Until Roy can work at his office again. Until I can be back in a classroom teaching and watching my favorite munchkins. Until it is safe for Sloane to return to preschool. We will be at home. Enjoying our freedom. Enjoying our toys and our learning through life experiences. We are living through history here folks, it’s crazy in every sense of the word. But the one thing I find important is to follow your heart and do what is best for you and yours. Always. ❤️ #saturdaymusings #justmyopinion #stayhome #followyourheartSince Summer 2020 is going to look very different we decided it called for Sloane’s very own, personal, germ free splash pad. Gotta make the most of what we have to work with! 🌞🌈💛 #sloaneleah #thisis3 #may2020 #quarantine2020 #sloanesworld #splashpadATHOME#nofilter #mothernature #clouds #clearandbeautifulArchives

my first post of 2014……
I’ve been oddly quiet on here for quite some time and I’m sorry. Truthfully, since finding Kate and Chasing Rainbows, every free minute I have I’m pouring through her blog like it’s a best seller. Why I’m so invested in … Continue reading

….and on the 8th night of Hanukkah, we learn something new!
Well, they say “you learn something new every day” and while the older I get the more I find that to be true, I will admit it’s been quite some time since I’ve learned anything about Judaism or a Jewish … Continue reading
“If you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.”
Sometimes, I think I was born in the wrong era. at the wrong time. In the wrong part of the country. Okay, not sometimes, ALL THE TIME. I’ve never fit in. I’ve never liked what everyone else liked. I never … Continue reading

i’ve stayed quiet on my blog through the entire summer and this “fifty shades” phenom. ugh, i’m sickened just seeing the title on MY blog. but law & order: svu did a storyline on the topic and it made me … Continue reading
a bucket list?
i guess this should be my yom kippur post. the past day and a half are the holiest of times during the year. our time to repent and ask for forgiveness for mistakes made intentionally or unintentionally. for hurting others. for gossiping. for … Continue reading
goodbye is the hardest thing to say
my life has been changing over the past few months. i’ve made commitments to myself since my birthday july 24th, to stop some of the self-deprecating behavior i’ve been allowing for far too long. i’ve made commitments to myself regarding … Continue reading
