Public Service Announcement: I will be taking the rest of the week off from posting this week to focus on my family, as we've experienced a death in the family and we also have plans for the holiday weekend. I'll be back next week with a brand new Mom-It Monday as well as a wrap-up of our Memorial Day Weekend.
ALSO: Stay tuned for Maureen's third birthday!! 🤩
