Welcome to summer break, my kids decided to send hundreds of water beads down our street to start things off.

My favorite cleaning hack is to get super motivated to declutter every nook of the house thirty minutes after the trash man comes and having to get real creative for the rest of the week.

Sabastian Sawe has made history as the FIRST HUMAN EVER to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions 🚨

That’s 4:33 minutes per mile ‼️😱

Charlotte thinks that the lyrics are “Hey mom, you’re a rockstar” instead of “hey now, you’re an all star” so I have my own little hype girl singing that to me throughout the day.

After the first snowstorm of the year I ordered extra snow gear and we didn’t get another one. Just ordered new rain gear—does that mean it will be a drought summer?

We already had a bunch of the answers, but then we started thinking we were smarter than our ancestors and now we’re in this mess.

“Mom, you have enough craft supplies. Do not buy any more.”-Charlotte, really jeopardizing how many Christmas gifts she’ll get this year.

@VOlthoff Was thinking about this too! I remember them reiterating it was a big deal to just be in and we needed to cheer no matter the seed.

This. It’s really hard to admit you’re wrong. It’s exponentially harder when it’s a very public, highly publicized decision. Actually used this as a teaching lesson for my kid today.

Credit to Brett Yormark for owning the court thing and not being too stubborn to make the obvious move. Seriously. That happens a lot less than you’d think in these high profile leadership positions.

[Rebecca Gansen @RGansen]

This is so good. What an inspiration she is❤️

Wondering for no particular reason what the lowest score ever in college basketball might be.

@VOlthoff 😂😂😂 kinda makes me wish I still had a vacuum like that!!

[Rebecca Gansen @RGansen]

“Mom, can you do that?” -Charlotte, watching videos of Simone Biles.
