Someone Turns 7!

Now, this I can’t believe! My baby girl turns 7! It’s really a bittersweet moment to watch your child (especially your first born) grow up. It’s sweet because you see them grow into their personalities, their dislikes and likes and so on. It’s bitter because they are growing sooo fast and this world is a scary place! Time just seems to move so fast and you want to protect them the whole way through. Sigh*

So my baby girl is 7 going on 17 and what to do with a 7 year old during a quarantine. Thoughts of a pool party crossed my mind but who to invite? There is a real life quarantine going on! Do they swim with mask on? Does chlorine kill the coronavirus? What’s a mom to do??? Another thought is “let’s go somewhere”. However, I have a 1 year old and I’m terrified at the thought of having him in a public place!

So to play it safe…I bought a pool! I found a pool at my local Walmart for about 289.00. It is large and while it’s a commitment, it will be perfect for summer at home. Considering we will not be going too many places considering the Rona has decided to stop by and stay awhile, I figured this would be a great compromise for a jagged summer. While I must say, the thought of owning a pool and maintaining it throughout the summer sounded terrifying, it was such a great decision! #Shrug

Let me tell you…motherhood will bring you to your knees!
