SOL Day 6: playing beauty shop
McKenna has opinions. All kinds of opinions.
Foods she eats.
Movies she does not like.

SOL Day 5: 😴😵
Being a mom is HARD. I just want some uninterrupted sleep. Is that too much to ask? It must be since I’m slicing about this twice in just 5 days.
SOL Day 4: germ factory
I hear the cough from my own bed. How can someone so small cough so much? It’s been nicknamed by some of the PTA moms the Continue reading

As a parent and a teacher, I couldn’t be prouder.
