With schools pushing back their reopening dates into May and some districts outright cancelling the rest of the school year, Hilary Duff knows that the only thing parents can do during this trying time is take one day at a time.
The "Lizzie McGuire" star encouraged parents on Thursday via a bath selfie that anyone with toddler at home would appreciate.
"One more day down!" Duff cheered in the caption of the photo that features 1-year-old Banks sitting front and center.

As for Duff, it looks like she engaged in a little splash war with her toddler due to a very-telling wet face and smudged mascara beneath her eyes.
It also should be noted that the two are surrounded by various floating toys.
"To every parent out there......... we are lucky to be healthy," the 31-year-old sagely reminded.
Despite giving her fellow parents a dose of encouragement, Duff, too, may be feeling a little beat down by constantly finding ways to entertain her stir-crazy kids.

She is also the parent of 8-year-old Luca, who she shares with ex Mike Comrie.

Captioning a looped video of her dubiously swishing around a glass of red wine, the "Cinderella Story" actress proposed, "Didn't you think that until the 'Safer At Home' guidelines lift, wine o' clock should scoot forward 5 minutes each day?"
