We’re homeschooling our kids, working from home, and trying to keep everyone happy while maintaining our sanity. Oh — and can we please save our favorite small businesses while we’re at it?
Take a breath.
No parent can be perfect, and we can’t singlehandedly rescue the local economy. But there is a win-win in supporting local restaurants: a much-deserved night off from cooking. And there are some great takeout deals currently available.
Here are a few of our favorite takeout meals the whole family will love.
