I live in Bozeman, Montana about an hour away from Yellowstone National Park. We canceled my family’s spring break trip because of the Coronavirus outbreak. We then braced ourselves for a new normal of social distancing. In lieu of spring break, I bragged to my girls that I would host a fun-filled, life affirming week of activities called “Mom Camp.” I would model it after my favorite TV show as a girl, Little House on the Prairie. It’s true that Laura didn’t grow up in Montana, but that didn’t stop me. Despite the fact I have survived some blizzards, “Mom Camp” made me face a difficult truth. I have nothing in common with my childhood hero, Laura Ingalls Wilder.
