Week 8 of My Shelter in Place Travels

I’m writing this while in bed with a belly full of yummy food that was served to me by my loving family because it’s Mother’s Day and I’m a mother! I’ll be spending the entire day at home being lazy, but in my imagination, I will be delivering virtual flowers to all the mothers in countries that are celebrating Mother’s Day as part of my shelter in place travels.

My shelter in place travels started on March 17 when San Francisco asked residents to stay at home as much as possible in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus. I am more than happy to stay home if it helps keep more of us healthy and stops hospitals from being overwhelmed. But staying at home doesn’t mean that I can’t travel virtually, which is why on what is day 55 of sheltering in place for us, I’m all about sharing the love with my fellow mamas.

On day 55, I travel to all the countries celebrating Mother’s Day, to wish all mamas a Happy Mother’s Day!

Day 55 of shelter in place in San Francisco: Today is Mother’s Day and I’m staying at home and enjoying being pampered by my family. While I’m at home physically, virtually I’m traveling the United States, Mexico and every other country celebrating Mother’s Day today to deliver love and appreciation to all the mothers who are doing or have done their best. Happy Mother’s Day! ¡Feliz Día de las Madres! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 #shelterinplacetravels
