In the 8 months we have been here the kids have been waiting to “hit the movies” on the island. We don’t live near the theater, and so frequently forget to check what’s playing, and if it is age appropriate. We […]
Balancing working from home (virtually full-time) with part-time daycare and school pick ups can get a little overwhelming. These past few weeks have been especially difficult to navigate, especially with spring break, a sick pre-schooler, and a sick ME! It […]
