Currently: August 2024

It’s somehow the last full month of summer already?! I am trying to squeeze in as much fun as possible–outings with the kids, relaxing as a family, and more.

As always, here’s what’s current for me this month. Please share what’s current for you in the comments! (more…)

Visiting Phipps Conservatory, Summer Sniffles, and Husky Woes

I took the kids to Phipps Conservatory with my mom this week and we all had such a nice time! Phipps is like a giant greenhouse and botanical garden in downtown Pittsburgh. I think the last time I was there was ten years ago!

Every night, Sadie asks me to read Night Night Pittsburgh to her and she is always interested in the different landmarks. I told her all about Phipps and the butterfly room (yes, there’s a room filled with butterflies!) and she couldn’t stop talking about going. So we made it happen! The photo below was Sadie’s face when we parked and I told her we had arrived.

Pure excitement!
