It’s Spring Break here in Austin so today’s episode was taped during a Facebook Live on our Mom & … Facebook Page last week. You can watch the full video at our Facebook Page or over at our YouTube Channel.
This week marks a full year of Covid lock down for the Stevens and Kerns families. As strange and difficult as this past year has been for us, we know there are others who are marking ‘anniversaries’ that are much more painful – we are thinking of you and your families.
We also wanted to take this opportunity to thank the business and organizations that have helped bring a sense of normalcy and have helped fill our hearts (and stomachs) this past year. You can hear the full shout-outs during the episode, but here are links to just some of our favorites.
