Stay tuned to see what I learned in Part X of Spring Break!
I used to always “send” my girls to gramma’s house in the summer. Then one year, the girls asked if they could go at different times. So K went to Wyoming and S went to Idaho. I think everyone enjoyed their special one on one time. I forget that I’m not the only one who needs a break. Sometimes sisters do too.
