- Let's go!
(gentle guitar strumming)
(Eef gasping)
- You found one?
Wow.
I read this post about hanging rainbows
in front of our windows for the kids
to have something to do while you were walking outside.
Honestly, I was like,
"Oh my god, this is gonna be such a lifesaver."
Because I was struggling so bad.
The only thing basically she want to do is go
for the playground, because she's used to that.
What was supposed to be a nice walk
and a change of scenery outside became this massive struggle
and then, okay, let's create rainbows.
We made this kind of daily routine now,
where we're gonna search for the rainbows outside
and what I always do is I open my phone,
I show her the rainbow map.
Are we gonna search for rainbows?
- [Eef's Daughter] Yes.
- [Anna] People thought it would be really cool
if we could find a way to track where all the rainbows were.
I said, "Oh, I know how to do that, this is so much fun."
I also opened the map publicly
so people could add their address
and their pinned rainbow directly on the map as well.
One of the great things that happened is
somebody figured out how to make a little rainbow icon
and use that as their pin for their location,
and when I saw it, I got so excited,
I changed everybody's to rainbows.

Today we have nearly 3,500 rainbows,
and those rainbows are all over the world now.
They're in the US, they're in Europe, Africa, India,
South America, New Zealand.
We just got our first Russian rainbow too.
I don't think there's ever been a time in our world
where we've all, as individuals, been going through
such a similar experience,
and this is a way of showing that,
of putting our hearts out there and saying,
"Yeah, I get it.
"I'm there too."
This is a way to add a little lightness, I think,
for a lot of parents to what's going on
and this has been really wonderful
and making me feel like I'm still connected to everyone.
