First, please know that we hope you’re safe. We’re doing fine. Colleen’s with her family in NYC doing her best to keep her almost 2-year-old entertained while trying to figure out what to make with the 2 pounds of polenta flour she hastily bought from a nearly empty grocery store shelf. Scott and Bertina are busy moving apartments (bad timing!) and equipping their kitchen with its low-fiber meal-making essentials. As if things weren’t challenging enough, they are potty training their 2-year-old, which is beginning to feel like a mistake. 

Regardless, we’re ready to stay inside for as long as needed to flatten this curve. 

We put together this blog post to share resources that might help you or someone you know get through this intense time.
