Figuring out this whole parenting thing one playground at a time
A lot of us have had to change summer vacation plans this year. While I can’t wait to take our kids on a beach trip to see the ocean it will probably have to wait until next year. While lake beaches aren’t the same as ocean beaches they can still be lots of fun! I [...]
In the last two months all of our lives have been impacted by Covid-19 in one way or the other. For the first time in many of our lives we have been asked to slow down, stop going out, and to stay at home. As shelter in place orders and quarantine orders begin to lift [...]
What does dinner time look like at your house? Before I became a mom I had these grand plans of how every night we were all going to sit down together, talk about our days, and enjoy each other's company. There was going to be no complaining about the food I cooked, no outside distractions, [...]
