I’ll admit that most of my birthdays as an adult (with the exception of last year’s big milestone birthday) have been pretty low-key. But even while we didn’t often do much to celebrate the actual day of, it still always FELT like my birthday, or at least like I had gotten another year older. Not …
1.Play dates are as necessary for me as they are for my daughter. The last month has been filled with a LOT of opportunities for me to socialize with friends I haven’t seen in awhile (and for our kids to spend time together), and it has just been SO MUCH FUN. However, other play date …
