31 things i’m grateful for in July

I’m calling it — July has been the best part of 2020 so far. I went back to work, the kids had a nanny they loved, and we squeezed in as many summer activities as possible in the evenings and on weekends. Rooney is supposed to start school in just three weeks and it feels like summer is slipping away. Thankfully we still have our trip to Okoboji to look forward to!
