It’s very important music in life. It helps regulate our emotions. I love playing music with my kids on the radio and on instruments.
We have been camping and fishing due to social distancing! Just found out I have a new baby on the way so excited.
we are staying home and safe from Covid, once that is over we are going to baptize our son and have a 2nd birthday party for our daughter
We haven’t made any plans for parties or trips, but hopefully next summer we will be able to have parties (both my girls’ birthdays are in the summer).
This is great for the kids! It’s been so hot lately we’ve been staying inside.
