COVID-19 and the Stay Home Order from I Have A Notion

So how is this mess going for you? I have to say that it started out pretty strange, having to "stay at home". We are enjoying the farm and can't imagine being in town close to friends and neighbors and having to just stay home!!! It got a little rough... but got better when I made some changes and choices! At first, like so many others, I was at a loss for what to do. Not like... Read More
