You are the second person to mention this to me! I need to!
The highlight of our week was probably heading to a house of a new homeschooling family for a get together. Two of my boys hit it off with her boy at the park and we decided to set up a playdate (on-line!)… never having met the mom or any of the rest of the family I wasn’t sure how it was going to go but we hit it off beautifully and her older boy and my older boy hit it off too so we all spent a wonderful couple of hours getting to know one another and now we have new friends.
What a wonderful event! It’s amazing when you can find a family that EVERYONE meshes with. Congrats!!
