Informed, not overwhelmed

As we all work to find solutions in the quickly-changing world of COVID-19, the Boxcar Team wants to continue simplifying your lives in whatever way we can. To that end, we're going to be sharing interesting tips, tricks and companies we have found over the next few weeks, to make things a bit easier for all of us. Here's the first installment!

We’re all being bombarded by news these days, and it’s tough to keep up with everything. It's also easy to be frustrated by the number of sources out there. Our friends at The Pickup Line can help!

Started by Chatham, NJ, moms as a news source for people waiting in the school pickup line each afternoon, it’s the perfect quick-hit of news when you want to be informed, not overwhelmed. If you want to check it out, sign up here.

This daily newsletter scours what’s out there and gives you a mix of news, entertainment, parenting, life hacks, tech tips and recipes – pretty much a one-stop-shop for keeping up to date.

As a bonus the recipes this week are focused on things you can make with what you’ve got in your pantry, in case you're running out of ideas. The pantry pasta may become a staple even after social distancing is a distant memory!
