If you’re wondering why your kids are placing a white crayon on the window sill, flushing ice cubes down the toilet, & wearing their PJs inside out tonight, it just may be because they are engaging in the ritual of invoking the Snow Day Fairy ❄️🧚♂️.

Having a new driver has made me a somewhat more patient experienced driver, I think. This has also sprouted some new grey hairs & a couple of minor near heart attacks. But it’s all good; grateful for milestones, especially ones we couldn’t imagine happening a few years ago.
