Local Families Share COVID Can-dos TARA BONE contributing writer
LAST SPRING, LIFE as we knew it came to a screeching COVID-19 halt. Every day became a topsy-turvy roller coaster of change, disappointment, fear, and exhaustion. If your home was like ours, every emotion known to humans seemed to erupt.
Jamie Younker, a local mother and business owner, is a perfect example of turning COVID negatives into positives. Jamie implemented activities during the stay-at-home order that would prove to help her personally, her family, and even her friends.
But HURRAY — we’re making it! I may be quarantine crazy, but even though those growing pains hurt, look where we are now: stronger, wiser, and more resourceful. Families across Cache Valley started new traditions and adjusted to the new “normal.” What follows are ideas that local families found they CAN do during these unusual times.
First of all, Jamie says in her effort to be the best version of herself for her five kids, she started to meditate and practice stillness daily. She started journaling and recommends the “I’m Doing Awesome" journal (find it at partywithalison.com). She recognizes it’s hard for busy moms to find quiet time, but it’s become her number one priority.
“In a world where we are constantly bombarded by the voices of others, I am learning that it's essential to find time to be still so we can hear our own voice,” Jamie said. During the stay-at-home time, Jamie says she was feeling overwhelmed, but then was inspired to start a photo challenge. Jamie is passionate about photography. She and her business partner Alycia are the creative minds behind Story of Home Photography, a local photography business. Jamie says their mission is to capture the magic of everyday moments, and she hoped her photo challenge would bring some perspective to the pandemic.
