Maybe this will bring more appreciation to teachers, well deserved pay raise and real discipline i dont mean that in a bad way. But kids need learn

[@kirstenbailey]

As a teacher, I think one of the BEST things you can do with your kids is cook with them. There is so much incidental learning that happens when you cook! They can read the recipe, learn how to measure. Baking in particular is great for teaching fractions - ask them to try doubling a baking recipe! You're doing a fantastic job!

[@mtaylor6649]

Love the block system. I divided the kid's learning time--girls in the morning, boys in the afternoon--and it's been so peaceful around the home. It gives me time to dedicate the amount of attention to each child and not feel so overwhelmed. School Educators are awesome!

The first couple of days I had already reorganized most of the put off areas of my home such as the closets, drawers, bookshelves, and deep cleaned everything. Afterwards, I started getting cabin fever and tried not to get anxiety about my loved ones that are near or within the same area as confirmed cases of the virus. But I fell back in love with a hobby of mine that I had put off for so long because school and life got in the way....reading. I reread many books I had forgotten that I loved and in a way they helped keep my mind off the chaos that is going on. Prayer also helps a bunch as well as phone calls on the daily to make sure they are okay. Y'all are in my prayers and super glad y'all are doing okay!!!!

Staying inside and doing "almost nothing" makes us feel like prisoners, lowers the energy and brings depression. We had few rainy days and this morning i just realized that. So as soon as i saw the sun shining up, we took the kids, got outside and started together a spring-clean of the yard! I felt more alive when we got back in! Jordan, i'm thinking of you every morning when i feel too lazy to get dressed... then, i motivate myself, i change my pj and i don't just feel i did something, but i really start to feel like doing all the other chores... so, change and clean-up , then the rest comes by itself! Congrats on your twins and thank you for sharing your video with us!

[@charlottenikol88]

I honestly was surprised at how quickly I kicked into gear. My husband has done a lot of the outside labor as far as gathering supplies and working. However, instead of this time adding to my issues with anxiety and even depression at times. I fell the mom I've been trying to connect with and who needed to tighten up schedule wise, needed to work on a little bit more frugality, cooking more and eating out less, being more patient, She, Well I, We found one another. I happened to come across your video from TLC show not long ago about counting waffles pieces and counting toilet paper sheets. I began putting the toilet paper method into place immediately after seeing the shortage of toilet paper supply, and paying more attention to portion control. I thank you for your tips, tricks, hacks, and up front and real momma moments because it has truly helped me grow as a woman and mom. It's so important that we grow as moms together, we are really what is going to bring light back into this craziness. Our men bare so much of the weight of the world and do have a ton of fear, but it's our jobs as their support system to ease their minds and hearts, to be their best friends and back bone during this crisis. A lot of us struggle with our "jobs" as moms but don't realize that taking care of the house, the kids, the meals, and schooling. We are what is keeping this world that we are in right now "normal". We are making "normality" happen in our own little worlds at home and literally keeping our husbands from breaking, our kids happy, fed, and at peace when there is absolutely nothing peaceful about our "well oil-ed machine" of a Nation is literally halting. Wow! Had no idea one sentence would turn into a paragraph! Thanks again for your support, your honesty, you positivity and being the Momma Bear Leader for a lot of us! Your an amazing woman, mom, and wife and we are thankful to have your voice help us become better version of who we really want to be. Charlotte Abdul-Jabbar

I do normally work from home plus just had a baby so this situation of being stuck at home is so normal to me.

We’re in Cali. My daughter’s school got a heads up a few days early about this and closed early, sending home iPads with the kids to homeschool. That weekend, they hosted a drive thru parents could show up and a bag of school materials their kid would need would be put in their car. The next week, Gavin Newsom ordered school closures. It’s a pretty phenomenal school, so much so that 4 of the local Police chiefs / sheriff’s from those counties send their kids to it - hence the advanced warning. So, we’ve been doing this for 2 weeks now, and by this point, my 6y/o can manage most of her own schooling. It slowed our lives but we ain’t stopping ;) Thanks for your great content as usual. Stay healthy and stay positive! The more folks stay home like you’re doing now, the less time we’ll all have to spend staying home overall. Keep sane and healthy and helping each other. Praying for all of you. My friend Elizabeth had her first baby March 9, named Katrina. They live in NY. It was a complicated birth but they are home now healthy and safe and quarantining. Please pray for them, too. Thank you! God bless the Freebs nations, right!

Another option I actually did yesterday was putting on kids yoga on KZbin so they did two yoga sessions 15 minutes each while I was on the bike watching them.

[@ladyshamblin]

We are using these tips you gave. We are also choosing different family members to face time every day. So, we get the feeling that we are visiting loved ones.

[@moustacheandnisi]

I'm an atheist, but since the shutdown started, every time I open my eyes in the morning I take a moment to acknowledge how lucky I am that my family is ok, I am ok, we have food in our pantry and, finally, time to be together. What else is there to wish for?

[@raisingsummit8437]

I think a lot of people are feeling this way. Positive impact of the shutdown. Give you time to sit back and remember what it's all for!

[@bethjones6108]

I am right there with you. My daughter's friend was tested and eventually found negative but each day my daughter woke up healthy, I was so grateful.

[@DH-qz2so]

Wish that it is all over very very quickly!

[@bethprather9241]

A positive statement we all need. I feel you are blessed. Idk much about atheism. Some..BUT I pray that as you reflect and are thankful during this time..You will still see the hope that comes from God.... This HUGE time in our lives I dont believe God caused, but a time to slow down, be with family. Care for others.That is how He works...in strange way...A good way, and an attention way to show us how much He does bless and love us all..Stay healthy

Cannot believe how organized and cool headed you guys are. Unbelievable!

Jordan: Get dressed Me: looks at my pjs Jordan: open the blinds Me: looks at my closed windows Jordan: make your bed Me: looks at my unmade bed Oh well

[@nicolabannister3582]

Tbh my bed is unmade and my window in my bedroom is covered and I'm ok with that. I keep that door closed and don't go in there in the day anyway. BUT getting dressed is really important. I've found wearing shoes (that I've labelled indoor shoes) put me in work mode, no shoes, home mode

[@aprilrosetemblique5918]

Watched this many times but I am still amazed of you do all these... I have 2 kids (3yr old and 1yr old) and oftentimes I feel overwhelmed. I just admire you for being so organized and productive... I can feel your energy even from watching you do all of these.... 😍😍😍

[@inspired_by_j]

We are trying to keep busy! We do a movement before “school” like Go Noodle on KZbin. Arts and crafts like a little perler bead set and the kids loved it so I bought a bigger set! Music - I bought Dollar Store instrument recorders and had them watch KZbin videos to play “Hot Cross Buns,” today we had a “spa” day where I bought the face masks and did their nails, we made “reading tents” to read in... I can manage for a few weeks but I’m afraid I’ll run out of ideas if this lasts too much longer! 😬 how do teachers do it? Hope you and the family are doing well!

[@heathermagnusson4832]

We’re empty nesters, so we FaceTime with our kids and grandkids. My husband teaches JROTC and since our schools are closed, he’s doing virtual lessons with them. I’ve posted some fun crafts for kids on my Facebook page, and an idea to write letters to grandparents, shut ins, the elderly who are feeling extra lonely right now. I’m also taking advantage with hubby home to go through and inventory all of our food storage, using your inventory sheets. I’m shocked how many cans are expired!!! Our town just issued a mandatory 24/7 stay home, so hoping people will stay home! Virus cases are doubling daily... hoping this will help. Our son is a dr on the front lines of this... he’s tired!

[@pamelagiacca5953]

I am a preschool teacher from Rome, Italy. Thank you so much for sharing this video and stressing the importance of staying at home. We were so sure we wouldn't catch the virus, just a few weeks ago it was something far away for us, we felt pity for tje Chinese stuck at home thinking "This could never happen to us". Then the first patient got infected and still we were like "oh well, it's just one victim, it won't affect our Country and our lives". Now our death toll overtake China's, we have military in our streets, we can't leave our houses except to buy groceries in our neighborhood, restaurants, shops, offices, even some factories, are shot down school are closed and we do not when and if they will be opened again before September, and all this happened in just a couple of weeks . Please stay at home and do not underestimate the virus.

[@Chique867]

Jordan you need a medal woman! You have all the house/kids/babies under control! Loved this vlog. My kids are older so I dont need to worry too much, except for one who I'll be homeschooling as of today! Its a manic situation in the world but us women are tough we can get thru and do this! Lots of 😍 from the UK

[@rheannahicks6363]

When everything started getting crazy, I immediately thought of you being on extreme cheapskates and counting the toilet paper squares 😂 might actually be a good idea after all

[@ievgeniiakolbasina4089]

I love that now I am with my toddler all the time. She has just started talking A LOT, and those moments are so precious :) That is why it doesn't matter that I have very little rest during the day working from home and doing chores. As a result I get so tired in the evening, that I fall asleep at the same time as my daugther does, so I sleep good 8-9 hours, which in turn keeps me in a good shape the following day. And so on :)

[@indigoblue4791]

* I love to spend a little time on my embroidery hoop! It's a quiet, calm way to spend little 15 mins mini blocks of time. * I think it's such a sweet thing to cook a small batch of homemade muffins or cookies, once or twice a week with the children's help. It's a precious time to come together to made something everyone can get together to enjoy!! * Reading time for kids is so important and helps with all areas of literacy in the one activity. However for a quiet time activity or to have play in the background of maybe an art lesson buy a good quality children's audio book. * Any kind of word game you can play together, thats age appropriate is a fun way to get our children to think whilst building that word store! * Now is a great time to invest in a back yard trampoline, so good for kid's and teens to exercise in a fun way! * Any time spent in the garden is great, fill pots with fresh soil ready for pot plants later in the season. Or do some weeding with the kids and feed the birds, then you can watch these friendly visitors to the garden everyday!! * Must not forget those hugs and kisses with our children anytime of day! They aren't kids for long, don't let those too cool teenagers fool you, they love a hug as much as they ever did; it's one of the best ways to show our love and appreciation of them in our lives!!

[@chelzdee88]

Yes! All great ideas and we are doing most of them! I didn’t think I’d want to be so structured with a schedule but it makes a HUGE difference. It turns out to be less work for me in the end because I’m not breaking up fights or overwhelmed with what’s next. It’s all decided and the kids respond super well to the structure. And we’ve been doing “no screens” until their chores are done (for my 3, and 5 year old) and I can attest how game changing it has been! Their attitudes have changed and we have a lot less screens. It’s made this time easier. 👍🏼

So was I

[@augustbutkovich5602]

I accidentally came upon your videos. I watched your laundry room organization video and had a feeling so I continued watching. I love watching your videos. They're so uplifting and neat to see how well you and your family go through your days with such a great spirit and light feeling. I know not all moments are sunshine and roses but it's nice to see some positive and uplifting videos in this day and age. I too am LDS. My husband and I both joined with our families when we were each 9 yrs old. We are nearly 3 yrs apart. Both of our children are now adults and we are teachers in Ontario, Canada. We are loving being home together and teaching from home and getting home organized and clean. I love the messages of peace and hope from our Prophet. I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos and wish you all the best while cooped up with 8 babes. God Bless!

[@bethwarn]

I've been home alone (again) after just accepting two new part-time jobs. I went back to a modified version of the daily checklist I had when I was job hunting: morning routine, check-in with family and friends, yoga/take a walk, Duolingo and Bible Project classes, chip away at grad school, evening routine. I treat myself like a total child and basically have clipboard system like your kiddos just for myself! We've had church Parish group on Zoom, and we're planning a virtual dinner party. I threw myself into helping my parent and teacher friends with this pinterest board of school-from-home resources: www.pinterest.com/bethanysdavis/the-great-staycation/

I don’t think I’ve ever clicked a video so fast! I have four kids under 8 (one being only 4 months), and I definitely want to get a schedule in place. Any tips to keep little ones occupied while the big ones are doing schoolwork? I have a 2.5 year old that kinda throws a wrench into any plan I make!

[@jordanpagecompany]

Check out this post! There are lots of good activities for the little ones! funcheaporfree.com/indooractivities You can also print off worksheets for your little ones and let them do "school," too!

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[@lindsaymayfield4773]

Hey Jordan, I don’t have any kiddos yet but I love your content and I love that you acknowledge the reality and tell it like it is, but with love tangled all throughout the honesty. I admire your parenting style and how you emphasize focusing on family and spiritual leadership in your household, it’s so refreshing! Just want you to know that your content is so encouraging to those of us who aren’t even mommies! I found you for budgeting help, but I love it all!

[@claireevans7057]

Thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations on your twins new born babies! You made it look manageable so we can get inspired by you. I have 2 young kids and I feel overwhelmed. With your videos, I feel there are much more improvements I can do to make it enjoyable and manageable. Thanks again for sharing, Jordan!
