Friday Favorites: See Kai Run

July 3, 2020

It’s now July and my kids haven’t been inside of a store since February. One thing that I would always do in store, was have my kids feet measured. Whether it was using the “foot chart” in Target or taking them to a kids shoe section, each season I liked to see exactly what size my kids feet were. Since… Read More

Patriotic Recipes & Outfits for Kids

Mother’s Day Idea: Have a Virtual Tea Party

May 4, 2020

One group of people that I think quarantine is very hard for is Grandmothers. If they live close by, it’s not easy for them to skip what were frequent visits or to start having visits from 6+ feet away in the driveway to way hello. For grandmothers that live farther away, it’s really hard to cancel flight plans to visit… Read More
