Summer is almost here. Finally. And as moms, we want to sprint out of the door {with or without our children… just sayin’} to breathe in all of that fresh air. It seems like we’ve waited for months for flip-flops, sun-kissed shoulders, and putting our toes in the water. Yes, when it comes to being a mom, there’s no sweeter time than summer.
