My mom fail of the week...

My mom fail of the week...

It was a good idea in theory... I've been hesitant to send Davis to camps this summer because, #Covid, but since our travels are done for a few weeks, I enrolled him in his favorite sports camp this week for two reasons... 1) My boys needed some serious separation!

If these walls could talk...

If these walls could talk... They'd most definitely tell you a different story than what you might think looking at these polished, professional photos. Of course I want to put my best foot, and face, forward when popping in to your inbox each week but in my effort to always keep it real, please know that I'm just your typical work-fromt-home Covid mom, running a business surrounded by single Cheerios that manage to creep into every corner of the house, stepping around matchbox cars and legos like the floor around them is lava and most days, I question if I remembered to...
