Hi there and welcome to episode 2002. Today I'm answering the question, how is our family

handling the spread of coronavirus? Hi, this is Denay. I'm the founder of Simple Families.

Simple Families is an online community for parents who are

seeking a simpler more intentional life. In this show we focus on minimalism with

kids, positive parenting, family wellness, and decreasing the mental load.

My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience raising kids, but also rooted in my PhD

in child development.

So you're gonna hear conversations

that are based in research,

but more importantly, real life.

Thanks for joining us.

Hi, thanks for tuning in.

Here we are at episode 2002.

And in this episode today, it's Tuesday,

so this is our shorter Q&A format episode. If you're new to these in the first half of the

episode, I share something simple that I'm loving, and in the second half I answer a question

from an audience member. And today I'm answering a question from an audience member and today I am answering a

question from Sarah on Instagram who asked how I'm handling the fear and coping with

the spread of coronavirus. Let's go ahead and get started on something simple that I'm

loving this week. Just a reminder that these are never sponsored. They're things

I'm just authentically loving. This week I'm feeling extra grateful for our green kids

craft boxes. I will tell you that I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to subscription box services.
