Good morning from Maine where we’ve just woken up from our first backyard camping adventure! Overall, it went about as well as could be hoped for with a three-year-old and a four-year-old in a tent. I think my three-year-old now wants to live in the tent with her stuffed animals and books.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads reading my blog this weekend. I hope that it’s a great day for you.
