This was fun. I just about had time to come up with an idea: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A35NuhmvcjWxN0fEbybDCUR5l8qKM_RbDw00amo71HI/edit?usp=sharing, but a blog post is beyond me this week with family here and all that this entails. Hope I can get away with it!

Yup… we had five kids. I know how it is. No worries. 💜

At least grannies can give them back when the going gets too tough!
