Five on Friday
Happy Friday! Today is Caroline’s last day of summer camp and next week is her last week of summer break before virtual school starts on August 17! It’s been such a weird, emotional summer for all of us. I’m really nervous about the school year for lots of reasons but am trying to focus on …

Happy Friday! 1. Baked Spaghetti This week I made baked spaghetti for dinner and doubled the batch so I could freeze one for another night and gift a few to Thomas’s teachers.

Happy Friday! 1. Phase 1 Charlotte began phase 1 of a gradual re-opening last Friday and restrictions are starting to loosen which feels so weird.

I cannot believe it is Easter weekend! This holiday is my favorite for so many reasons and I cannot wait to celebrate all weekend. 1. Spring Break Our Spring Break officially started on Thursday and it’s SO nice to drop the remote learning responsibilities for a bit — although that structure did somewhat help us …
With all of the extra time we are all spending quarantined at home, I thought I would do something a little different for this week’s Five on Friday. Today I’m sharing 5 ways to make your abode feel happy and cozy! 1. Bring Flowers Inside Right now everything is starting to bloom and there is …
Happy Friday! What a week it has been! 1. The Snack Hunt This past week I’ve been enticing the kids to stay upstairs for Quiet Time with fun snacks or little surprises afterwards. Even though I find myself muting my conference call line to threaten the loss of their surprise at least 4357439850734 times, Quiet Time …
