We’ve always been big on creative play in this house. But being stuck inside the house has made playtime that more valuable. Yes, there is plenty of work to be done but I’m a firm believer that playing is just as beneficial for young kids. So, I thought it would be fun if I shared […]

This year has been a busy one including, deaths in my extended family, trips to visit family in Georgia and Texas, and finishing up the school year at home. What does all that mean? After a couple of trips and just everyday life, our laundry got behind. I didn’t see a way out of the […]
