Figuring out this whole parenting thing one playground at a time
Two weeks ago we had the opportunity to travel to Asheboro, North Carolina for a little adventure at Getaway House (hosted). This was our first stay in a tiny house and we were so excited for a new kind of adventure! Getaway makes it incredibly easy to check in without having to make any face [...]
Every night when I say goodnight to my babes I ask them what their favorite part of their day was. I love hearing what stood out for them about the day especially on the days that feel really hard. Yesterday was a hard day. Lucas had hit his wall of virtual learning for the week [...]
