Summary

With summer on the horizon we reflect on what we will NOT be doing this summer. Plus we share strategies to reset a hot mess of summer day for the kids and for us (not that we'll have any of those). In Obsessions, Erica is on the hunt for the perfect outdoor furniture while Kelsey is loving drawer organization. In Neighborhood News there's an adorable, unintentional therapy dog in Erica's neighborhood.
