My big kids are away at camp this week. I cannot deal. How are they old enough to leave for so long? Granted, it’s just day camp and they’re with their aunt in the evenings. But still, I’m a ball of anxious energy waiting to get them back in my arms! Also, that big guy […]
Have you seen all the darling magnet sets in Target’s Dollar Spot? Technically they’re $3 … but still, not a bad deal! I grabbed a car set, a space set, and a princess/unicorn set for my kids and then realized that our fridge is the only magnet surface in the house. Tiny problem, because, as […]

The is a sponsored post in partnership with The Little Gym and The Motherhood. When it comes to fun summer activities I’m all about the element of surprise. So, even though I had a trip to The Little Gym on my radar, I didn’t tell Jemma and Max until a few hours before. They. Were. […]
