May 4, 2020

Although… this year it’s been 100% ok to wear your favorite superhero dress up daily, since it’s about the only other thing these 2 put on besides pajamas.

April means lots of rain here… which means lots of earthworms to be found in our yard. My girls have enjoyed digging for worms since they were little and have taught their brothers to do the same.

A Fun Staycation at Home for Kids

April 7, 2020

Today started our Spring Break. We didn’t have big plans this year, knowing a new baby would join our family just weeks before. Still, I could tell my kids were feeling a little down about being stuck at home the whole week of Spring Break, after being home the 3 weeks before too. Also, the past week, as the virus… Read More
