As we all huddle inside our homes, attempting to, ahem, home school (and if you're like me - failing miserably at it) the thought of being parent, employee and now teacher would never of crossed our minds about 3 months ago, but here we are - frustrated, frazzled and if we're honest - losing our shit.
In all of this it's important to remember that our minis are little sponges soaking in everything we say and do, and in order to stay calm I've gathered a series of great quotes to put things into perspective and keep things at home sweet.
