And it's all based on really good ways to be creative and bond with your family without having to have the iPads and the screens.”
The group’s next project will be decorating their shoes with fabric markers and gems — a project she found on the site.
“The kids have enjoyed the fact that we can all be together,” she says. “Family is very important and I don't know how I could have done it without them, truly.”
