Ahoy! We’re back from A-Camp and mostly back from the Post-Camp Brain Melt, which comes for us all. It’s nearly JUNE and my mom is in town because my oldest kid is GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL this week and I am a MESS and every other word/thought truly is in ALL CAPS and I had a CINNABON for BREAKFAST. So much, y’all! So much.
I hope your last few days of May are just enough. Happy Monday!
