Good morning, you tasty iced coffee you. ❤️ Coffee cubes, milk, maple. (The finished product is in my story!)
This was a good idea.
So proud of this kid. There were a few tears at camp dropoff, but I know she's going to have an amazing week.
Gretchen took this pic with my phone this morning. Like mother, like daughter.
BFFs. Twinning.
