Thank you all for the love on Friday. I did my best to disconnect and take it easy as much as possible, and I managed to make it through the day. A lot of the strength I found was from your comments, emails, cards, flowers, and more. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing support group who never lets me down. Special shout-out to my friends Ben & Jerry:

Breaking Out
~The kids are FINALLY on Spring Break. I am soooo glad, they need a break and so do I! I happily turned off all of my school-related alarms and I’m looking forward to not having anywhere to be by 8am. Plus, no lunches to pack! No after-school clubs! No softball! I love all of these things (except lunches), but it’s nice to have a vacation from life for a week, know what I mean?
Cool Finds
~40% off of everything at Old Navy with code SPRING, which is great if your kids are annoying like mine and won’t stop growing.
~I ordered a button grip for my iPhone 7plus to make it easier to hold. Does anyone else have one? I’m hoping it won’t get caught on my jeans when I stick my phone in my pocket, but I’ve heard good things.
~Just ordered these dachshund ice molds so the kids and I can make Jell-O over spring break. We’re going to make them from scratch…lie to me and tell me that’s a good idea!
Marching On
~Here’s your friendly reminder to support our March for Babies team. Please help us reach our $10 for 10 goal! Thank you!
Happy Sunday, everyone!

It isn’t too tricky and tastes great! We call it jelly in England though!

My middle school daughter LOVES her PopSocket. It gives her something to figit with (although I don’t think that is the intention) and she can take selfies with more security. Her phone still goes in/out of her back pocket well – although she has developed a way of holding a finger in her pocket while putting her phone in so that the PopSocket doesn’t get caught on the top edge of the pocket.
We also got a 77-yr-old relative a PopSocket for her phone. It allows her to have a better grip on her phone – which makes all of us happy!
