Yesterday Katie and I met up at the Children's Museum (all of 8 minutes away from our house!). We knew the girls needed to get out their energy before being cooped up inside the next day thanks to the on coming storm.
If you haven't been here with your kid yet (or with a child you take care of), you absolutely must! It's only $9 per person, or FREE if you have Neighborhood Health Care or a Military ID. The girls could have spent hours here if we let them.
Emerson has only been here 3-4 times since we moved here two years ago. Every time we walk in I immediately have a wave of mom guilt rush over me for not utilizing spaces in our community like this!

Raise your hand if your family photo has ever been sabotaged by your child using only their weird fake smile 🙋♀️ You know the one.
One thing I hear time and time again from fellow parents (of babies, and of grown ones too) is they wish someone could snap their photo during the moments that feel the most real. The moments where the magic of all your people in one place together brings out the most authentic versions of yourselves. There’s a certain energy that comes out of each of us when we’re some place we want to be, with people we actually want to be with, while feeling beautiful in your own way.
