Essential Superstars with Tranquillity at Fredericktowne

We went out today with Tranquillity at Fredericktowne to recognize one of our Essential Superstar Businesses!  We handed out gift bags to Frederick County Emergency Communications Center – The first voices you hear in an emergency, the first, first responders were there through the entire quarantine and will always be there when you need them. Always overlooked, they work through their 12 hour shifts never knowing the outcome of some of the worse calls they have ever heard.

Check out this really remote performance of “No I In Beer” on Late Night. I love how they mixed in the house band. What do you think of the song?

Local Teens Start Free Grocery Delivery for Seniors

Two teenage boys in Potamac, Maryland, started delivering groceries to their grandparents to help keep them safe during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Their hard work lead to a delivery service for senior citizens all across the country.

16-year-old Dhruv Pai and 15-year-old Matt Casertano, realized that many other seniors in their community also needed some help, so they started making more deliveries.

In doing so they started to wonder about all senior citizens in the country that also may need some help getting groceries. So they created a group called Teens Helping Seniors and recruited other young people from all over the country to get groceries, medicine and other essential supplies into the homes of those who are at a greater risk of COVID-19.

There are now 14 chapters across the country AND STILL GROWING from the west coast to the east coast. Dhruv and Matt are working with all the volunteers, trying to make sure as many seniors as possible get the help they need.

{Katie’s Baby Blog} Strawberry Picking…and Eating

It’s strawberry season! A lot of farms in our area have been advertising that their strawberry patches are ready, so Lily and I went and had a blast!

Lily LOVES strawberries, she calls them “berries” and begs fro them everyday. My husband also LOVES strawberry anything so I was ready to pick a lot!

We went to Glade Link Farms in Keymar, MD and it was so pleasant. Lily and I had my cousin and her 1 year old daughter with us so we were allowed to pick in the same area.

Lily and her cousin Laney were so cute picking the strawberries and loved carrying around the little bucket, but once Laney figured out she could eat them….the girls went CRAZY! Lily had a cute little pink dress on that quickly turned bright red with strawberry juice; she looked like a chipmunk with her cheeks full of “berries” and her lips and face was covered in red juice. But, it was way too cute, and trying to stop them….yeah right! Those two had so much fun picking and eating them and then they decided its faster to just eat the strawberries right out of the buckets that we picked, so the buckets took a little bit of a hit, too.

It was something fun to do with little toddlers! I was a little nervous that they would be too young and not understand and want to run around instead of pick, but they were all about it!

I can’t wait to go back to pick blueberries and flowers soon!
