I’m a teacher and I was exhausted and burnt out before the shutdown. I am seeing this situation as a way to refocus on the things that matter: my faith, my family and friends and my health. These are scary times, but my faith in God keeps me strong. Stay blessed and be well Page fam. We appreciate you❤️

My So-Called Teacher Life Here in Europe we are teaching from home (high school) Lot of emails from students everyday and handling my kids at the same time. I find it stressful because I hate office work. I have mountains to grade too.

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!

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!

[@annthebookworm8079]

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!!!!

I do normally work from home plus just had a baby so this situation of being stuck at home is so normal to me. But the understanding that this is an in definite quarantine and loss of work for so many, that’s what’s make it weird. For me knowing that God knows what he is doing is super comforting haha

[@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

Every time I watch your videos, Jordan I am at peace. Not only are you incredibly organized, you are productive and your children are beautiful, intelligent and hardworking. I’m a single mom of one and I am always inspired by you. Since I discovered you I say to myself “if Jordan can do it, so can I.” Since I have been home, I have been doing a lot of yoga “cosmic kids yoga” on KZbin is great for introducing little ones to yoga (my son is 3, almost 4 in May) we have been doing a lot of art projects too. Painting, repurposing recyclables, playing with chalk. I make sure to get us outside throughout the day and keep in touch with family on the phone and vid chat. It can be lonely these days!!

[@alessiatronconi3697]

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!

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.

So, I'm actually still going to work every day. I work for a non-profit that serves adults with disabilities. I'm one of the office workers. They aren't letting us work from home (yet??). We're practicing social distancing at work (I had to move my office, temporarily). Other than that, we're living and breathing handwashing and hand sanitizer. We have an assessment team that takes our temperature every day and if we are exhibiting any symptoms (coughing, heavy chest, or fever), then we're being told to stay/go home. It's a pretty anxiety filled time, but I'm thankful to still have a job and be able to do something with my days and provide for my family's livelihood through this very scary time. Glad you are all able to stay home!

[@Christina-wb6sg]

Same, I work for a nonprofit - and the CDC is not recommending quarantining (yet) just social distancing so we abide by that and are all here and working (my son is home). I love your thoughts - I was feeling sorry for myself especially seeing all these things I could be doing with my kid but I need to make a living, that's just the long and short of it - if I need my mortgage paid, my lights on, heat, food, etc etc I need to work. Plus we do help house people so that is nice work too. Enjoy your time if you have it!!!!

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. 👍🏼

PJ's are my best friend lol i know just what you mean about wanting to get back in bed all day. I've been going thru major depression and I live in bed. One thing my doc said was to make my bed everyday and don't get under the covers till its bedtime..... It has helped some but problem is I have to get out of it first 😆

[@mombot7467]

Thank you!! I've worked 2-4 jobs at a time since my divorce over 5 years ago. Even though it feels like the world is upside down, I'm at home with my 4 boys. It feels like a dream come true in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you for sharing so many great tips. I'm starting clipboards today!!

[@elenigarcia7902]

Saw your clipboard in another video, and we love it!! My kiddos 6 and 8 years old do not understand money. So small tip! I have antiheroes board of extra chores that they get Monopoly money and can spend it on that screen time or snacks that aren’t the healthiest option!

[@elenigarcia7902]

1. Helping me with more chores than their daily 2. They are learning about money BUT I’ve always had a hard time coming up with chores because they love to help 😂

[@haleydawn3972]

I 100% agree that getting dressed & making your bed help so much! I’ve made a work at home schedule for myself & a school schedule for my daughter, using a similar method to your block schedule. My daughter is in JH so this is what she’s used to. It has been very helpful for myself and my daughter!

[@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!

Tiny apartment, 34 weeks pregnant with first, mother in law helping prep Apt for baby, husband working from home, so many baby shower gifts, baby prep classes cancelled, invisilign braces extended till due date, took apart desk yet have online meetings, still visiting hospice Patients when only weeks away from leaving work... Taking it one day at a time, but making sure to take out some me time to record my successes for the day. Thanks for awesome tips Jordan!! I value these videos and I'm so inspired by the ideas you implement with your adorable, strong, resourceful, and wonderful family.

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!

[@gingerstrahan7464]

Just dropped in to say “Go Page Family!” Nice grounding for everyone! Just saw the coolest little video...I think from Italy...about an indoor “quarantine” workout for parents and children that looks like just total playing, but you can tell there is a learning op there as well. I am in my 70’s, but learning so much to share with my kids and grands. Y’all are great...and provide great models.

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

Last week was a week of really just figuring out what works & what doesn’t as far as a schedule. I had one set to go ( I even laminated it), & it quickly went to the wayside. This week, I’ll be balancing things differently- working with each kid individually on schoolwork as much as possible . I’ve figured out that my kids like an art project a day, and lots of time for movement. Thanks for the video. Stay safe & healthy!!!

* 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!!

[@carlabales5187]

I already homeschool so that's not really a problem. But lots of going outside, fun snacks, board games, puzzle books, arts and crafts. All the things basically. Baking with the kids. That's the best!

[@chandaelizabeth3046]

My kids have been home all week, home school started today. They have been alone all week 😭 they are 11, 15, and 16 so they are pretty good at self starting. I called them multiple times today to be sure they were doing their work! My husband starts working from home tomorrow! I unfortunately work at a hospital, so I get to still go to work, for now. My state is tiny (New Hampshire) so we have only about 40 cases in the whole state right now. The Lord is still in control though, keep your faith strong everybody!

[@laurellidesignhouse]

In the UK we have only just decided to close schools.. So my 4 and almost 6 year old have their last day tomorrow.. I bought a trampoline!! 🙈 Not something I wanted to splurge on but as a mother working from home I needed some way to have them burn a little energy and get outside.. Out garden is quite small so I need to get creative with space.. The conservatory is being made into "school" for learning, play and crafts so they're hopefully not wrecking my entire house.. I have a little basket each for them and in the morning they get to fill their water bottles, pick about 5 small snacks (my kids are grazers).. 1 naughty and 4 healthy healthy..(carrot battons/crudités/a piece of fruit etc) They are then going to be in control of that for the entire day.. If they eat it all first thing (no naughty snack at all in the morning before lunch though) then that's tough.. Just meals for the rest of the day.. I think they will eat it all pretty quick on the first day but will soon learn 😂 One other thing I've done which may sound odd is I have gone through their clothes and chosen 7 tops and bottoms and I will do the same for undies and socks, 1 coat, 1 jumper, 1 hoody.. And I'm packing the rest away.. I'm not having them get dressed 3 thousand times a day.. All of which goes into the laundry basket 🙄🤔.. Gonna do the same for myself.. So that I don't keep wearing more and more stuff and putting of laundry until I can't move 😂😂..fingers crosses that works.. One of m local gyms is doing a P.E(physical educations) live on Facebook each day for the kids at 11am.. I am going to build my day roughly around that.. Good luck to you all ❤️

[@sandradeleon6171]

That is an awesome idea...the clothes...Lord, the clothes!!! With all going on and me not wanting to be at the store every other day, I started rationing their snacks. My husband was free for all until I told him there literally was NOTHING left to buy at the store, so he would have 4 hungry, cranky kids to deal with, by himself, if we ran out because at that point I would go self-quarantine in my room and let him deal with his consequences until all returned to normal. Hahaha! He saw it my way REAL QUICK! I will go implement the clothes idea...right now! #winning

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!

When feeling lonely makes me anxious I try to "zoom out" to see that right now, every family in my area, in my country on my continent, all over the planet are in a similar situation.

Mrs. Jordan Page, I just want u to know that im so glad to have found ur videos. I dont have any children, not my choice, but my depression and PTSD from that, is so severe that years of counseling, and medication just wasent working for me. I was living but not with any kind of peace or motivation. I watched several of ur videos, i seen where u said to make my bed and prayer and meditation in my bible, just a few minutes each morning would make a big difference. I started doing just that and it completely changed my whole life. Please dont think im wierd or anything, im just telling u that u have motivated me to the point of peace of mind and a happy, positive person that people r seeing a change in my life. Thank u for sharing ur honesty, Faith and ur funny sense of humor. I could never thank u enough, But i thank God every day and i pray for u. Thank u again.
