monique s says
Yes an order was issued and am staying in and working from home
Maureen says
We have a Stay at Home/ Shelter in Place until April 30 and then they well see at that point what they want to do.
My husband is working from home.
Kate F. says
We haven’t been issued a shelter in place order yet.
Dana Rodriguez says
They have closed a lot of places where we live. It is not mandantory that you stay at home but advised and a lot of people are doing it. We are taking safety seriously and staying home much more.
mami2jcn says
We have a stay at home order. I’m an indoorsy person so it’s not a big deal for me, but my teen son is driving me crazy because he doesn’t want to follow the rules and stay inside.
Kristen says
Yes, we are under shelter in place orders, but we were already doing it anyway. We’re doing okay, working, cleaning, lounging and video chatting friends.
paige chandler says
No stay at home order in Texas but judge issued one in my county. Watching lots of TV and cooking. UGH
chelsea w says
I’ve been anxious about this ordeal, especially since we are not going anywhere. I’m feeling very stir-crazy, but I’m trying to keep my mind occupied through crafts and by reading.
Sally Gearhart says
My area is not under a mandatory stay at home order. I run a small farm but my does gutters and vinyl siding and goes to work everyday. I’m staying at home with my kids but the hubby says he has to work.
Natalie says
We have a 2 week stay at home order right now in MN. I am currently on call for work and am exercising, cleaning my home and drawing in the meantime.
Chris L says
Just stating in as much as possible. Trying to get the kids to keep up with their homework.
Barrie says
I am trying to keep my family safe. We are all at risk (my mom and the rest of us have asthma or diabetes). We walk around the neighborhood, pick up groceries, or do take out. NO crowds or stores!
Sandy Klocinski says
My area was issued a stay at home/shelter at home order. Since I am retired and pretty much a loner anyway it hasn’t really affected me that much. I can still take fur baby to the park everyday and go to the grocery once a week (and then come home and find what they didn’t have on the shelves online!) The only thing is the beauty shops are closed. I wear my hair very short and spiked so I just ordered hair clippers from Amazon and did it myself. Didn’t turn out too bad for the first time and hey, it’s only hair…it will grow back. Oh, and fur baby needs a nail trim and I can’t do it myself because I need 3 hands to do it (one to hold the squirmy dog, one to hold the clippers and one to hold the foot) and my little boy will bite if he gets stressed! The vet is available but you have to call them from the parking lot, they come out and get your pet, take him inside and do whatever they need to do and bring him back out. You have to pay with your phone. Being as that would be stressful for my boy…he doesn’t like to be taken away from his mama… I opted to wait a bit but if the nails get too long ya gotta do what you gotta do to keep the little feet healthy!
Ann Fantom says
Yes, I’m New York so we have been staying home since 3/13/20. We have been practicing social distancing, but still plan to go outside for a walk on the local rail trail.
latoya says
We do have a stay at home order…i’m doing okay, my job switched to online and I have food and entertainment. I miss close human contact though and my normal routine.
Shelly Peterson says
We were issued a stay at home order

Yes they advise we stay at home at this time, just working at home as usual here..
beth shepherd says
i am playing lots of games with the kiddos. Baking and trying new recipes. We live in the country so we are taking lots of walks Thank you
Clem says
It was issued here, and things are fine so far.
Margaret Smith says
I’m in NJ and yes we have a stay at home order. We’re a bit afraid. Hubby is still working, he works for UPS.
Robin Abrams says
Yes we have stay at home order. My son has to go out to work but comes straight home. We are all staying home we go out and play in the back yard to get our sunlight.
Rosie says
Our area’s orders have gotten more and more restrictive, and safety conscious rules. We have been staying put except for very limited exceptions, and taking precautions. I’ve been trying to help relatives with applying for unemployment, and things like that.
Joanne Schultz says
We have both a county & a state stay-at-home order. I have been staying home. I’ve got a lot to do between reading books, watching Netflix, machine embroidery, coming up with meals to help use up the meat/chicken/seafood in my freezer! When the weather is nice, I go take a walk on the greenway!
The thing I miss the most is that I can’t pet my sister’s cat since she’s an indoor cat! When I’ve dropped groceries off at my sister’s house, I see my sister because we can stand 6′ apart but that doesn’t work for her cat!
Sherry says
We have been told to only go out for essentials and no traveling across state lines.
bn100 says

Oh, yes, our governor has been on it from the start. I’m home and comfortable.
KariLorr says
My county has a stay at home order, and I’ve been working from home. I’m pretty much a homebody, so it hasn’t been too bad so far.
Allison L says
Yes, we’ve been “sheltering at home” for about three weeks now. Kids are home from school, not scheduled to go back until 4/27. (Although, I won’t be surprised if that gets extended.) We haven’t even left the house for three weeks! It’s not so bad. Kids are a lil stir crazy. We’re trying to do a little of the at-home learning stuff, and keep ourselves busy/entertained. 🙂
shelly peterson says
We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/2
Rebecca Graham says
We were issued a Stay At Home Order today in Tennessee.
Ginger Hafer says
My state was issued a stay at home order. I am retired so I no longer work so I was not affected in that way. I am by nature a solitary person so the social distancing has not affected me greatly.
mami2jcn says

sheila ressel says
We have a stay at home order but hubby is an essential worker.
Joanne Schultz says
We are under a stay-at-home order, both county & state.
I have not left the house to drive anyway since the day before the county order took effect.
But I was out of milk, and out of romaine lettuce, so I drove to the closest store to pick them up, and got some other veggies too!
So I’m good for another week!
I bought a 3D butterfly machine embroidery design, so I am stitching that out now!
polly says
Yes, we are Sheltered In Place. My husband is 72 and I am 67 so we are remaining at home. Our 2 children have been awesome helping out. When they bring the grandkids so we can see their sweet faces they stay out on the driveway and we stay in the garage. Can’t wait until we can hug all of them again. Please stay safe!

Linda K says
We have stay at home orders until May 1st. Man that seems like a long time.
Susan Smith says
My area is not under a mandatory stay at home but we are staying at home only going out to go to the grocery store, gas or the drug store. We are doing fine. We are homebodies anyway, keeping busy decluttering, cleaning, baking reading, surfing the net and watching movies.
Kathy Eyre says
Colorado was pretty early on to issue a stay at home order. It hasn’t really had any effect on us since we are in the “getting the garden ready” mode and would be at home anyway
Tiffany S says
Yes we have a stay at home order in PA. My husband and I still have to go to work and it really scares me.
Susan Christy says
I got a head start on staying at home. Haven’t been in a store or eaten in a restaurant since March 12. Our stay at home order was issued March 28. I work at an essential business but I’m sequestered in my office (restroom attached). There are only 9 people out of 25 that aren’t able to work from home. I order us lunch every day, delivered by Postmates, Uber Eats, etc. It’s been okay so far. The only things I can’t get from grocery pickup are flour and canned peaches.
shelly peterson says
I Pretty Much Only Leave To Go To Dialysis 4/4
Sarah L says
I have an auto immune disease so I’m at high risk. I’ve been home for 3 weeks getting groceries delivered. I did go out this week to get blood drawn and then right back home. Reading a LOT of books. And entering contests…
Thanks for the contest.
BusyWorkingMama says
My state put a shelter in place order last week. It didn’t change too much for me as I was already working from home. My business is deemed essential and I have a letter to carry that allows me to travel to and from work as needed
mami2jcn says
We Have A Stay At Home Order. I’m An Indoorsy Person So It’s Not A Big Deal For Me, But My Teen Son Is Driving Me Crazy Because He Doesn’t Want To Follow The Rules And Stay Inside. 4/5
Lasonda says
We have a stay-at-home order here. I am coping with it just fine, so far.
Denise B. says
Yes, we do; but our lives haven’t changed. My husband still has to go to work, I have homeschooling (for 11 years now), and we pick up things from the stores and restaurants.
Stevie A. says
We were issued a stay at home order for 2 weeks, but my daughter was home from school a week earlier.
BookLady says
We were issued a stay at home order last week. It is difficult to not go out unless absolutely necessary. I already miss our favorite restaurants.
Amber Kolb says
We were told to self-quarantine here in Michigan but a lot of people aren’t listening. Our grocery stores are always packed. I am not working right now (I go back in June) but my husband still is which makes me so nervous as I’m chronically ill.
Katie Bellamy says
We are a shelter in place state. I haven’t left our home/yard since March 13th. Doing our part!!
shelly peterson says
We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/5
Gina Ferrell says
My Area Was Issued A Stay At Home/Shelter At Home Order here in New Orleans. I haven’t left the house only to get milk, bread and it’s at a small store near me. Stay safe everyone!
mami2jcn says
I don’t mind complying with a stay at home order, since I’m a homebody anyway. What is giving me lots of anxiety is the fact that food is disappearing from the shelves because of the panic buying. I worry about how I’ll keep my 4 kids fed.
Ashley Chassereau Parks says
Not much has changed for us since we homeschool, but people are flipping out if they see others going into grocery stores and such so its been weird for that aspect. My hubby is working from home, but with 5 people we are having to go to the store about every week and a half. I’m so glad I had found a sale on TP before all this started because its non existent around here now.. I’m a little shocked at how much mistrust there is of others and of how people are calling out for more rights to be take away even though we already have stay at home orders, etc. In our community page some people are complaining that children not be allowed to play in their own backyards because they think this virus will float around the neighborhood and they will catch it. Its a bit much.
shelly peterson says
We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order..
roy gruss says
have to stay sheltered in place– rain is stopping–can’t wait to start the garden–need outside time soon.
mami2jcn says
I don’t mind staying home but I have had a lot of anxiety about supermarket germs.
Karen Dunlap says
We have had a county level stay at home order for the past two weeks, and they finally took that state wide at the end of last week. I’m working from home. It is a huge relief, since I’m high risk. It is much safer for me to work from here.
Dana Rodriguez says
We are still working because apparently painting your house is essential.
April Morin says
I live right next to a state university and we were issued a stay home/stay safe order in March. I only go out once a week for groceries and meds. I’m doing ok staying home – I am a loner and it gives me time to catch up on my reading. It is pretty scary though.
Eloise Carlson says
Yes we definitely have a stay at home order in place here in Michigan. I am currently not working as I am a restaurant employee so it has been quite hard on our family. Sure hope things get better for everyone soon! Thanks so very much for the chance to win this giveaway!

My husband is working from home and he really likes that. He wishes that his company would continue allowing that even after the crisis is over.
Dana Rodriguez says
So far still working and trying to stay safe.
Tara L says
Yes my area was listed to stay home and only go out IF you need something, but me and my siblings been going out for my Mom because she is at a higher risk than us. I am not working due to the virus and it stinks. It’s been stressful at times because your build up in a house and you can only do so much every single day, so yeah it puts a toll on you after a while.
Linda G says
we have a stay at home order and we have been staying home except to go get grocery’s once a week. When the weather is nice we can take a walk around our neighborhood or work in the yard.We will take a ride around town in the car every so often.
shelly peterson says
We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/10
mami2jcn says
My husband is working from home and wishes he could do that forever. Maybe employers will be more open to that idea in the future.
Dana Rodriguez says
I am really hoping we can find some essentials this weekend. Had to pay $6 for a dozen eggs the other day!!
Maureen says
We have a shelter in place since mid March.
Jessica Peeling says
I am a resident physician so still going to work and just going with the flux and all of the daily changes. In South Dakota our cases are just starting to rise, so I’m anticipating a tough few weeks ahead. Regardless, I’m not one to stress and will just keep my head up!
shelly peterson says
We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/11
June S. says
Our area in northern Illinois here is under the stay at home in place advisory, hubby and I have been getting many things done around the house here that have been neglected for a long time though now. So that is a good thing. My husband has been off for three weeks now with full pay and medical benefits from where he works. But they are starting back up this coming Monday on 04/13/2020. Love that man but he can get on my nerves every now & then. 🙂

Sandy Klocinski says
Still under a stay at home order. Still take fur baby to the park daily (weather permitting). Go to the grocery once a week. Tried to grocery shop online and have it delivered. What a joke! Keeps zeroing out whatever I put in my cart. So I go once a week first thing in the morning (during the hour reserved for us old folk and those considered especially at risk) so I can at least find a substitute if they don’t have what I want. Last Wednesday when I went it was the first time there was no line at the checkout. Just walked right up and checked out.
Marissa M says
Yes, New York has had to stay in! It is a lot of time in the house but appreciating the extra family time!
Shannon D Citrino says
Still stuck at home in RI too!
Amber Kolb says
Yes. We are third in line for the amount of cases in the US here in Michigan. I honestly am not handling it well. I’m chronically ill and a brain surgery survivor. I also have asthma. My husband is a CNC programmer in a shop and they are NOT allowing them to wear masks. They think it will cause panic among the rest of the staff. They did cancel this coming work week though. so I’m thankful my husband will be home with me. They tested everyone in his shop for the virus (blood and nose swab) but the results aren’t back yet.
NANCY says
We are under a kind of partial shutdown, as my area isn’t that populated.
Jen R says
Yes, we were issued at Stay at home order until the end of April currently.

Kathleen Hand says
My husband and I are both considered essential workers and are both working while our college son is now home, our senior has all his fun plans cancelled and my junior is missing her first prom. Lots of changes for sure. We are dealing the best that we can and I say a prayer each night that we all stay healthy.

shelly peterson says

We are still under a stay at home order. I am normally a home body anyway so not much different for me. Grocery shopping has been a little less horrendous the last couple of weeks, so that’s good
carissa joslyn says
Yes, we were issued a Stay at Home Order, as of Yesterday it was just Extended an Additional 30 days. we are doing okay. I was a stay at home mom prior, so I never left the house regardless (no car) unfortunately my fiance is an essential worker, so hes still working. I have 2 high susceptible kids. if one gets a common cold he ends up in the hospital for days. so, I am really worried about what my Fiance is exposed to and potentially bring home. my other kid has heart issues. my older two don’t have health issues though so they should be better off.
