Finally, finally, finally… it’s raining. 🙂 And of course it’s the second day of Summer vacation and we’re stuck inside. I thought I’d take some time to brainstorm some rainy day activities for kids. 1. Read books… Hanna and I curled up this morning with 5 new books and it was perfect being … Continue reading
It’s almost Summer (I think). Every late Winter to early Spring I get very gung ho about the garden.  Usually this happens because it warms up, and makes me think Summer’s on the way and it’s time to get started.
