In the past few weeks, we have moved (staying with my parents for 2 months until they move, then buying their house!), DJ started Kindergarten, Scarlett started daycare, my commute got longer, and hubs started teaching at a new school and coaching a new football team.

I am so guilty of letting these devices distract my children for hours while I cook, clean, and take a moment to breathe. But ... Read More
