I thought I would do a post about our mask habits. It's funny how masks have become such a regular part of our routine now, and will likely remain so for awhile.
We have cloth masks - some homemade (not by me), some from The Gap and Old Navy, and Dave and I both got masks from our companies. We also have a couple of boxes of paper masks. I keep some in the car in case we need them.
The kids wear masks all day everyday at school. I send two cloth masks and an extra paper mask with them each day. They don't always need the second mask, but it's nice to have.
I bring a mask with me to drop them off and pick them up, and when I go to stores. Since I don't wear them for long periods of time, I can usually use them over several days before needing a new one.
Aside from school and other indoor public places, we will wear masks when outside and where it is difficult to maintain distance, such as walking down the street to do errands (up on Bloor where there are lots of other people, not on my own street), and at the playground/park. I also wear it when at a drive-thru or picking up my groceries.
All dirty/used masks go into the basket at the front door.
How many masks do each of your kids have? I find between school and dance, Rachel is constantly running out of masks. The rest of us are okay but I should really get some more for her. We buy them from a friend who has the cutest/most fun patterns and I love supporting her in this way.
ReplyDeleteThey each have about 12-15. E wears the adult size so there are a couple that we can both use. Q has the kid size ones. I ordered a few more from Etsy (Stitched with Love by Kathryn) for all of us.
