Covid and pregnancy
I'm 5 months pregnant (my first!) and am realizing that with covid, I haven't had a chance to stop and enjoy the pregnancy as much as I think I would otherwise. Is anyone else feeling this way ? Any tips on how to stop and enjoy this time in your life?

Schooling
Our state has been asking for feedback regarding how to restart public schooling for the fall. The plans include children wearing masks all day long, creating 6 ft. spacing between students and possibly running half-days to reduce class sizes to accommodate this. What are your thoughts? Is this better than fully on-line?

Anyone started a new job during the pandemic with their kids at home?
I wanted to reach out the FGB community to see if there are any moms with young children at home who have recently started a new career during the pandemic. If so, I would love to hear how you're balancing getting up to speed and giving your new job 100 percent while also making sure your kids are doing there at home learning. Is it possible? I'm starting to wonder if waiting to seriously look for a new job may...

Can we return to work with schools still closed?
Curious on your thoughts and what options you are exploring as businesses slowly reopen and schools (and maybe summer camps) remain closed.

Has anyone else been obsessing about when and how schools will open? It seems like summer camp isn't happening in our area this year but I'm still hopeful the nail in the coffin isn't in.

Cultural Awareness in the workplace
I am a immigrant and I think we can be more tolerant in the workplace the more aware we are of others. As a foreigner I like to embrace new traditions but, as well, I love to show mines. How important is for you? Do you think that this opens an unnecessary door in the office/workplace? I understand it is a thin line here. Can we expand enough to show empathy for others religions, believes, traditions, cultures, etc?
