Bleak day as my husband and 2/3 kids are ill with the second bad stomach virus our family has had in the last few weeks. But the healthy 7 yo declared, "I'm going to shovel the sidewalk for you!" She got dressed and did it all by herself. 🥹

Did you know that Philadelphia has real, Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood-style trolley cars? You can ride one from the Federal Reserve to Penn. They are so fun, especially around turns. You can close your eyes and imagine the Land of Make Believe, but actually you'll end up in West Philly.
