As entrepreneurs and small business owners, Stephanos knows a thing or two about working from home. We’ve been doing it since long before this unprecedented time, so it’s definitely not new to us. But we understand that for many people, transitioning to working at your humble abode from your previous work environment can be challenging and confusing. Not to toot our own horns, but we do consider ourselves to be experts on this subject, so we thought we’d use that expertise to bring you a collection of tips for making the transition to working remotely smoother and more comfortable.

Five ways to celebrate Mother's Day from a distance!

April 23 2020

Mother’s Day is one of the most treasured holidays of the year. It’s a chance to show the women who raised us the appreciation they so deserve, to shower them with love, and remind them of how much they mean to us. This year, Mother’s Day is going to be very different across the globe. With quarantine orders in place all around the world, flattening the curve means we won’t be able to celebrate with our wonderful mothers in person (unless we are fortunate enough to already live with them), and that will likely leave a yearning in our hearts and the hearts of moms everywhere. But all hope is not lost, as there are myriad ways we can still honor our mothers and show them we love them this Mother’s Day from a safe distance. It just means we have to get creative and embrace a positive mindset to make the most of a strange and unique situation.

With that in mind, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling five ways you can celebrate Mother’s Day while staying at home and staying safe. Even though it means sacrificing your annual Mother’s Day brunch or a trip to the spa with your mom, doing the right thing will mean we can all be together sooner. So take heart, and remember that there are still plenty of ways to celebrate Mother’s Day this year!
