Marie Osmond Shares Heartwarming Quaranteaming Story Amid Pandemic

Hey there, friends. Here's some heartwarming news from Marie Osmond’s world. Amid the chaos of the coronavirus outbreak, her family has found a creative way to stay connected and thrive. It's called "quaranteaming," and it's been a game-changer for her 30-year-old daughter, Rachael Kruger, and her daughter-in-law, Claire. Let's dive into how they're making it work.

On a Sunday afternoon back on April 19th, Marie shared an inspiring Instagram post that explained what quaranteaming is all about. In her own words, it's "a clever way to describe the new reality of choosing who you’ll quarantine with so you won’t be alone." To illustrate this, she posted a delightful photo of her grandkids, all wearing beautifully designed masks, showing how they're adapting to the times.

One of the first things that popped up on my phone this morning was a headline that included a word I hadn’t seen before: “Quaranteaming” It cleverly describes the new reality of choosing who you’ll quarantine with so you won’t be alone anymore. The article said people are leaving their homes and joining other friends or family to assist in their feelings of loneliness while still abiding by the rules. My daughters, Rachael and Claire, who after more than a month of being alone with their children organized a FaceTime get together for the cousins! It was a great way for them to stay safe but isolate together. My grandkids don’t fully understand all that’s going on, but the faith and trust they have for their parents is precious. My girls didn’t realize what they were doing was “Quaranteaming”! I love the idea of being a “team” with those special people in our lives right now. I told them how sweet for their children, and then said the best team to be on during this time is the Savior’s. He taught about storms and burdens throughout His ministry. He knew problems would always come, that we would be tried and tested and He did everything possible to prepare us. I know I have used this scripture a lot, but Christ offers hope and comfort when He says in Matthew, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” There is a temptation to give in to fear, but don’t. Replace that fear with the faith of a child. In Jerusalem, “Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them and said, Verily I say unto you whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom.” We have a limited understanding of why things are the way they are. So our best path is to focus on the Lord and give Him our fears. He has made this promise to us… “My peace I give to you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Have faith (even as a child) in Him, and remember if God is on our team we can’t help but win! #quaranteam #happysunday #sundaymessage

How Quaranteaming Works for Marie's Family

Marie went on to describe how her daughters, Rachael and Claire, have been using FaceTime to bring their families closer together. "After more than a month of being alone with their children," she explained, "they organized a virtual get-together for the cousins. This was a fantastic way for them to stay safe while still feeling connected. Watching my grandkids interact, even though they don’t fully grasp what’s happening, fills my heart with joy. Their unwavering trust in their parents is truly precious."

What's fascinating is that Rachael and Claire were practicing quaranteaming long before they even heard the term. "I love the idea of being a 'team' with those special people in our lives right now," Marie gushed. "I told them how sweet it was for their children. And remember, the best team to be on during this time is the Savior’s. He's always been there for us, guiding us through life's storms and burdens."

Marie's Quarantine Journey

It's no surprise that Marie, known for her hit song "Read My Lips," has been feeling an incredible amount of joy as a mom. While she's been quarantining with her husband, Steve Craig, in Utah, her children have found innovative ways to stay connected. One of their favorites? Keeping the "family group text" alive and kicking. This little tradition has brought them closer than ever.

"As a mother, it’s been such a joy to witness," Marie shared during an episode of The Talk on March 30th. "You wonder, when you leave this earth, will your children stay close? Will they continue to connect? I know they will. It’s been a wonderful peace knowing they genuinely love and look out for each other. For me, that’s been such an incredible joy as a mom."
