Linda O’Connor, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Thanks for sharing two tips with us today, but first, please tell us about Don’t Drop the Baby.

Don’t Drop the Baby (Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor, Book 1) by Linda O’Connor

Genre Medical Romantic Comedy

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

Dr. Brogan Corkie is happily semi-retired from medicine and now has time for other hobbies. Her passion for food is only second to her skill at matchmaking!

Ross Skye, owner of BabyCare, a high-end line of baby merchandise, is injured in an accident, and Brogan uses her cooking, medical – and matchmaking – skills to help him out. Dr. Lauren Kane is taking care of her nephew for two weeks, and Brogan agrees to babysit while Lauren is at work.

Two years ago, Ross and Lauren dated. At that time, Lauren wanted kids, but Ross wasn’t keen. Now the tables have turned, and Ross is trying to convince Lauren that they’d make an awesome parenting team. Brogan suggests they test drive parenthood by looking after a simulated baby for a week – a computerized version that eats, sleeps, wets, and cries. Ross and Lauren experience the “joy” of having a newborn firsthand, and the bar is set pretty low. Their first goal is: don’t drop the baby. The second goal is to find out if their love for each other will survive the test of…parenting.

Two Tips for Family

There’s an art to taking off a mask. Imagine that the front of it is covered in virus – the name of the game is not to touch it and don’t spread the virus to the rest of your face. (The virus enters the body through the mucus membranes of your eyes, nose, and mouth.)

First wash your hands. Then remove the mask by touching the ties or ear loops only. Lift it away from your face and don’t shake it. It should go directly into the washing machine. Then – no surprise – wash your hands again.

If you think your hair or face is contaminated then you should shower. If you’ve leaned on a contaminated surface, remove your clothes and throw them in the washer as well. The mask and clothes should be washed with hot water and put into a dryer with a hot cycle.

If you’re wearing gloves and a mask, the gloves come off first. Roll them off turning them inside out as you go so you don’t touch the outside. Then wash your hands before you do anything else (like removing the mask.)

Two Tips for Household Chores

When grocery shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic leave your purse at home and just carry your debit or credit card. That way you don’t have to worry about picking up the virus on the surface. Don’t touch your phone until after you wash your hands.

As soon as you get home, wash your hands. Leave your grocery bags on the floor; don’t put them on the kitchen counter. Put the perishables away and wash your hands again.

Coronavirus can live on cardboard for 24 hours and on metal or glass for 3-5 days. Separate out the non-perishables and, if you can, let them sit for 5 days.

If you wash your fruit and vegetables with soap, any soap residue left on them can cause an upset stomach and diarrhea. Food experts suggest that washing them with water is enough. But…sinks tend to be super grungy so not a great place for fruit and vegetables to go for a swim.
