Welcome to Weekly Explorer No. 1!
Last week marked eight weeks in quarantine for me.
I celebrated by eating copious amounts of tacos for Cinco de Mayo. (Side note – did you know that Taco Bell now has a make your own tacos at-home kit?! No more soggy tacos!)
Here in Virginia, our governor is beginning to discuss plans to open up our communities.
To prepare myself for life outside of quarantine, I’ve ordered approximately 63 different types of cloth face masks. Does anyone else now have a dedicated face mask drawer? 😷These Disney face masks will be the crown jewel of my collection.
How’s everyone doing? I’d love to hear from you! You can reach me on Instagram @eastbymidwest or by email at pam@eastbymidwest.com.
