The Funniest Family On Facebook Crushes "One Day More" Parody

Black Friday Deals Inside!🎄

Music and jokes, friends. That’s how I’m making it through this 2020 Coronavirus quarantine. What would I do without humor and happy songs??( Probably be catatonic in a bathtub full of Hershey bar wrappers and Mountain Dew cans. Ahem.)

So imagine my joy when I stumbled upon this internet gem that provided me both hysterical quarantine jokes and one of my favorite show tunes, with the bonus of adorable English accents! I could not keep this spot-on hilarity to myself!

The Marsh family from Kent, England is going mega-viral on Facebook with their cover and parody of the iconic Les Misérables anthem “One Day More.” Not only can parents Ben and Danielle and their four cuties sing, but they’re funny, to! They adapted the song with hilarious quarantine lyrics that are OH SO RELATABLE!

“I had no football match today . . . how can I play when we are parted?/Our grandparents are miles away!/They can’t work Skype, we’re brokenhearted!”

It just gets funnier from there—just take a look:

A video where you can get ALL your parental drinking and “online learning” jokes and frustrations in one spot, with a catchy tune? Brilliant! I watched it three times straight.

Thank you, Marsh family, for brightening up quarantine—and for featuring your kids’
REAL LIFE sibling argument at the beginning! It’s nice to know we’re not alone!

When You Just Don’t Feel Like Christmas

In: Faith, Living

It’s hard to admit, but some years I have to force myself to decorate for Christmas. Some years the lights look a little dimmer. The garlands feel a bit heavier. And the circumstances of life just aren’t wrapped in a big red bow like I so wish they were. Then comparison creeps in like a fake Facebook friend and I just feel like hiding under the covers and skipping it all. Because I know there’s no way to measure up to the perfect life “out there.” And it all just feels heavier than it used to. Though I feel alone,...

To the Parents Who Coach: Thank You

In: Living, Motherhood

I always planned on being an involved parent, whatever that would mean. Never an athlete, always athletic, I joined the swim team in high school, taught swim lessons for spending money as a college freshman, played intramural soccer at 10 p.m. on weeknights on a college team with a ridiculous name. Later, mama to only one baby, finding extra dollars wherever I could, I coached track. And then, my own babies really started to play sports. I promised myself I would volunteer as possible, but something always stood in the way, and all I could manage was to get my...

Now That I’m There, 30 Doesn’t Seem That Old

In: Living

I turned 30 this year. The change of a decade has caused me to reflect a lot. This is the first time I’ve hit an age ending in zero and sort of wish I could go back a ways. At 10 and 20 years old I was still eagerly waiting to get older. That desire slowed down and stopped around 25 years old. Still, I haven’t lived my first 30 years with a lot of regrets. I have four little ones who call me mom. Some days they make me feel old. Often they keep me acting young. Dance parties...

Give Me Friends to Do Everyday Life With

In: Friendship

She sees me coming. A small wave from her house window and a silent invitation to come on over for our morning coffee. An unsaid invitation to connect with someone who gets the joys and challenges of being a mother. A quick, small, and valued break from life and stress and my house messes has become the perfect way to start the morning. A neighbor who has become a dear friend. Prior to this encounter, alarm clocks were ringing, breakfast was made, backpacks were packed, and shoes were missing. School mornings are rough. Motherhood is rough. The world around us...

Teachers Carry the Weight of Their Classroom in Their Hearts

In: Living

I would like to argue there really isn’t anything that hard about the doing of a teacher’s job. Oh, there are overwhelming, too much to do moments. And exhausting moments. And early morning, long day moments. But there isn’t really anything that hard about the doing of a teacher’s work. It’s the being a teacher that’s hard. For in being a teacher, your heart splits open with all the things you cannot fix and all the things you cannot do or cannot do enough of. When your heart aches for a family you barely know and you long to comfort...

Sometimes Friendship Is Tested

In: Friendship

Sometimes our own experiences can be hard on our friends, especially when those experiences have to do with fertility and pregnancy. My friend and I met when our children were six months old at a mom’s group Christmas party. She was the only other mom there without a partner, her husband having refused to attend in favor of playing video games in the silence of an empty home just like mine. Her son was a day younger than my daughter. Although she was almost 10 years older than me, we became fast friends, bonding over the loneliness that is staying...

Watch the Viral Hobby Lobby Christmas Ad Making Boy Moms Sob This Year

In: Living, Motherhood

Every year as the holidays near, a new batch of ads from virtually every business on the planet hits the airwaves. Some of them are cheesy. Some of them are emotional. And some of them catch you off guard on a random Friday afternoon because dang it if your mama heart doesn’t know EXACTLY what that feels like—and it makes your chest ache. That’s what happened to me when I heard this Hobby Lobby ad in the middle of a Fixer Upper rerun. There I was making dinner/filling the dishwasher/cleaning off the piles from the counter—doing all that unseen work...

For Work-at-Home Moms, “Don’t Blink” Hits Different

In: Living, Motherhood

Working mom at kitchen counter with child in background

As mothers, we’ve all heard the quintessential, two-word exclamatory statement that is supposed to be golden advice: “Don’t blink!” The time will go by way too fast, right? Before we know it, our tiny bundles of joy will walk briskly across the high school graduation stage and begin their journeys into the world. So, you can imagine my surprise when I realized that even though I may have blinked a few times, this whole young motherhood thing went painstakingly slow. If I’m honest, my time with small children passed at a snail’s pace. Each time they did something on their...

There’s a reason we call it holiday “magic.” Something happens around this time of year— maybe it’s the nostalgia of Christmases from years past. Maybe it’s the realization that we never know how many holidays we’ll get with our loved ones. But it seems like, despite all the hustle and bustle of Black Friday sales . . . and teachers’ gifts . . . and White Elephant exchanges… and the frantic search for that must-have toy your kid added to their list on December 20… even through all that, there are those moments that stop you in your tracks and...

Dear New Caregiver, Here’s What You Need to Know

In: Living

Dear new caregiver, I never wanted to have to write something like this. For a long time, it never occurred to me that I might not be here to care for and advocate and figure it all out for the one we love. But if this experience has taught me anything, it’s that we are not in control; no amount of planning preempts the universe, God, fate, or the circle of life. So, if you are being cast into this role with little warning, I want to give you the best start possible. Tell you things I wish I had...
