The coronavirus pandemic has changed our everyday life, but it doesn't need to change who we are. So, in addition to our ongoing coverage of the coronavirus, OnMilwaukee will continue to report on cool, fun, inspiring and strange stories from our city and beyond. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay informed and stay joyful. We're all in this together. #InThisTogetherMKE

A suggestion from a mom is floating around social media and it's wonderful. She posted a request in her neighborhood group for people to put a shamrock in their window so that families could take walks to "find" them as a way to do something fun and festive that didn't involve person-to-person contact.

"Color (the shamrock), paint it, cut it out, print it from the printer, whatever," she wrote.  

This could easily be done for Easter too, by encouraging your community to put an image of an Easter egg in their window and then go on an "Egg Hunt" with the kids.

Get creative, share your ideas and reach out to others. We got this, Milwaukee.
