HI APW!
Maddie has been on vacation (at Disneyworld!) this week, and it’s been flash mini-summer here in the Bay Area. As a result, I slowed down, caught up, drank mint iced tea, took walks with the toddler, and spent as much time outside as I could. It’s been a good week. Here is to summer, and more to come.
It’s your open thread, hop on it!
XO,
MEG
