Basic Mom Week in Review - 04/02/17

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. I tried to get a nice picture with my daughters and my mother-in-law while we were out for a special Ladies' Day.

2. This conversation at dinner while discussing running:

5. While folding my 8-year-old's laundry, I was surprised by an acorn among her clothes.

Lesson: Coincidence that this happened the same week that the new Game of Thrones trailer dropped? I think not. We should all be preparing for winter.
