Boy moms will know what I mean when I say, parenting a tween boy (ages 8-12) is HARD but rewarding! It’s such an age of exploration for them, and a learning stage as a parent! We are so grateful for this time with our middle guy, he turned 8 this past week and I wanted
The kids have officially finished the 2018-2019 school year!! I always want to remember what they looked like, I’m so grateful to have photos to look back on!!
