Your newsletter took me right back to those endurance apron string days. I remember parents with grown kids were always telling me to enjoy it (ha!) and that they missed the days when their kids were little (ha ha!) but now as I take my son to college and my teenage is daughter only wants to be with her friends, I look back at photos of my little squad and would give anything to go back in a time machine. You have a gift for being able to see your silver lining in the moment. Something I did back in the day was a week of Mommy Camp at the end of summer along with my kids bffs and their moms. I'd host the kids during the day with fun activities and their moms would show up at 4p and make dinner for everyone.
As my boys enter high school, this is such a beautiful reminder of those days and how fast time goes. Thank you for putting this experience into such exquisite form!
Love and needed this. I am going to start that list in my notes too. Coming off a two week mommy and daughter camp and am exhausted but the best times with my little one. Now we are off on two separate trips (hers with her amazing daddy!) and I get some time to regroup. I always get frustrated at early morning wakeups but they do tend to be special.

I love that Gina. These messages always make me stop and try to soak it in even more. Thank you <3

Oh I'm so glad! And there's no better post camp mommy plan than camp daddy :)
I’ve had so many of the same thoughts as I’ve been doing “mommy camp” with my 4 & 2.5 year old. This was exactly what I needed to read this morning!
So happy to hear! I have almost the same ages <3
And reading this at 4:30AM with wicked jet lag, because a lovely way to start mine. Thank you!
Early morning feels like the perfect time for this one. Thank you for reading!
CAMP MOMMY ☠️☠️☠️
