Shout out to Anne Geddes (IYKYK)Scheduling joy is saving us from the monotonous existence that is parenting young children.We’ve got a list of good news stories to cleanse your doom-scrolling soul. Pandas are involved.One of us goes on a warranted and passionate rant about beer drinkers and why they’re paying more tax than the gas industry.We both casually fixed childcare in about five minutes. You’re welcome.There’s also a Mexican food hack that will change your life (we’re talking structural integrity AND crunch).Loads happening this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go!
