In this video, we literally lived every parent’s “what if” moment—Cora got left home alone while we traveled for work, and then a winter storm hit hard. Flights were delayed, roads were closed, and the ice was no joke, so our plans changed fast. We show the hugs before we go, the kids doing their own things (Rykel’s out, Evee’s with friends), and then that moment when the storm gets real and we’re trying to stay calm while being far away. Cora handled it way better than most adults would. She keeps herself busy (yes, she even records her podcast), makes some wild drinks, and somehow turns it into a self-care night with a Nutella face mask—until she raids my closet and steals mom clothes. But then we hit a BIG problem and the vibe shifts, because when you’re home alone, every weird sound feels bigger… and we honestly wondered, “Did someone break in?!” The biggest takeaway for us is that family means showing up even when you can’t physically be there—staying connected, trusting our kids, communicating like crazy, and remembering that home isn’t just a place… it’s knowing you’re never truly alone.
