During an interview with Fox News Digital in November, Larter shared the exact moment she and her husband realized they wanted to stay in Idaho after moving there\u00a0during the COVID-19 lockdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went for two months thinking that the kids\u2019 schools would be reopened in\u00a0California, and they weren\u2019t,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd, so, they were doing online, and the schools there were open. And, so, we were able to put our 6-year-old daughter in kindergarten for the spring semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that was a huge thing for us because we just wanted her to be around other children and have that kindergarten experience. And during that time, we met some amazing families just organically by the school,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just didn\u2019t want to do that. We wanna be with our children,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd, so, that\u2019s when I think the biggest change was we came back after that summer, and we just made a go for it and said, \u2018Let\u2019s try this and see if it works.’\u201d<\/p>\n
