WE DO WHAT WE CAN.

Solo momming this week means we are 0 for 2 when it comes to remembering Dekie’s fun dress-up days for pre-preschool.


It’s all I can do to get him there in his little uniform with backpack + lunch in hand. 🏆


Also – someone may or may not have eaten “dinner” while IN THE BATHTUB last night.

[It was srsly gorgeous so we stayed outside longer than usual…. and it didn’t dawn on me until typing this right now that I could’ve merged OUTSIDE with dinner vs. BATHTIME with dinner, but HEY – it was a fun memory. ha]


This is lowering the bar in action, folks.


We do what we can with what we’ve got and that’s (legit almost ALWAYS) good enough. ❤️
