Don’t forget to work on your Ditto DIY project for June so you can join the linky party on Monday. Also, keep an eye out for Darlene’s upcoming Gold challenge — it’s a fun way to try a small, shiny update in your home.
I also got a good laugh from Jen Hatmaker’s recent post about the end-of-school-year chaos. If you’ve been sending Lunchables, squeezing in last-minute reading practice, or unbothered by slightly scuffed shoes, you’re not alone. It’s comforting to remember that you did your best earlier in the year, and a fresh start awaits come August.

So, moms out there sending Lunchables, slipping shoes with holes on little feet because we’re almost there, practicing “auditory reading” with a first grader — I’ve got your back.
