Lots of us got our older kids vaccinated for COVID before going back to school and there is some comfort in that. Now my concern is focused on my 11 year old little one. She is not eligible for the vaccine and it's time to go back to school for the first time in a year and a half. All we have are masks to protect our little ones against the variant and I just realized I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've seen more ticks this season than in recent memory. As if that's not creepy enough, there's are dangerous and deadly ticks that carry a brain swelling virus. Great!
Yesterday the NJ Chamber of Commerce announced it is mandating its employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and they are requiring attendees of all in-person events to provide proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 test before being allowed to participate. The Chamber is urging all employers to do the same.
We were all waiting on what Gov. Murphy would say about New Jersey teachers and if they would be mandated to be vaccinated for the fall. We just got the final word during his press conference.
The Federal Drug Administration is calling us out for being total morons and they are 1000000% right. If you're one of the very misguided individuals self administering drugs meant for livestock to treat or prevent COVID-19 then you're out of your ever-loving mind. Stop it now.
You can feel it in the air...every year as we get closer to fall and our kids get ready to go back to school, there is an energy of preparation, nerves, excitement and of course glowing-white back to school sneakers. This year there's more, there is a heaviness hanging over us as we wait for an announcement that will spark much controversy. Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to announce a mandate which will enforce all New Jersey teachers getting vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning to school.
There are SO many fabulous shows happening in Jersey right now...and more to come. I already told you about these epic shows here. However, if you are planning to go to various shows in Jersey you better make sure you are vaccinated or it's a no-go. Here are the places requiring proof of a vax or neg test before you can play:
I can't thank God enough for the protection we were given in the very final seconds of what could have been the most tragic thing to ever happen in our family. I was driving home from the beach with by 16 year old daughter, Bella, in the passenger's seat. It was a wonderful family day of swimming that wore her out so she was sleeping peacefully as I drove home. What came next was the loudest bang we have ever heard and if you ask me, it was also the sound of angels putting themselves in front of my daughter and a giant hunk of flying metal.
