Moving is exciting. At least, that’s what we tell ourselves while thinking about how we hope the offer is accepted. When we order moving pods and schedule swing-set movers. Standing in a room surrounded by boxes, wondering how one family accumulated this many water bottles, or why there are 348 unmatched socks, it feels a bit less so.

Moving with kids is no small task. In addition to all the moving logistics, you have to make sure the kids still have what they need.

I did a bo***ir shoot, which is a sentence I never really thought I would say because, despite my willingness to share deeply personal information on the internet, the idea of standing mostly naked in front of a camera while someone tells me to arch my back until it might break felt like my own personal version of hell.

Oh, the places you’ll go! 🎩📚 Laurelle Farrell visited The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum in Springfield, MA.

One ticket = access to Seuss + science, art & history museums too 🙌

Good to know:
✅ Museum of Science members = free
✅ Parking = free
✅ All gift shops are in the Science Museum (skip if you want!)

Whimsical, colorful, family-friendly fun. Add it to your bucket list! 🐟

My daughter just asked me about her ancestors, then asked if her brother has any ‘an-sisters or an-brothers.’ 😂 Kids interpretation of the world never disappoints.

The first week of school is a HUGE change from your summer routine. It’s tempting to cling to the last days of summer: stay up late, roll out of bed whenever and find their school shoes the day before. But then school mornings are a fight, with you and your kids struggling to adjust to the changes in routine. With a little planning, you can gradually sprinkle in pieces of your school morning routine as summer is winding down.
