Happy Friday! The last week of summer always feels like such a turning point, and I can’t believe school kicks off on Monday. As much as I’ve loved sleeping in, slow mornings, a pool full of kids, and the K Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack on repeat, I’m equally excited for the fresh start that comes …
Happy Friday! If you read my weekly newsletter, you already know we’re in that weird in-between stretch of summer, shopping for school supplies, knocking out doctor appointments, and tackling all the paperwork/new apps/sports registrations…while still trying to savor the last bit of pool days and late bedtimes.
