Staying Busy, Healthy & Positive

I am a homebody! If it wasn’t for Seamus, I’d rarely leave my home. He definitely keeps me “socially active.” So, keeping our “social distance” doesn’t help my bad habit.

Public schools in Washington state are shut down for the remaining school year, most businesses are closed and all restaurants that are open are providing drive thru service. This is a time in life, my kids will definitely never forget. They are craving for “play time” with cousins, friends and family. They don’t quite understand why they aren’t allowed to get out of the van if we go to town for groceries or need to run errands. Thankfully, we live on a farm with lots of land for kids to run and stay active.

We are so relieved to be in the final process of selling our home. We’ve finished remodeling our house, put it on the market for sale and sold it in the past month. In the next months, we will slowly start moving into the OFFICIAL McPartland Farm House. We are so excited for this BIG family move and taking it all in, one step at a time. This is quite the 2020 Summer McPartland Family Race/Event. So much to do and get done until then!

In between all the selling, buying and house packing, we are Distance Teaching, Seamus is farming and I am homeschooling a two year old, kindergartener and second grader. It’s been super busy and kinda crazy, but I’m definitely living in the moment. I’m keeping a positive mindset by appreciating that my family is staying healthy and that WE are just together. There’s so much to look forward to in the next few months as we MOVE fast and forward.
