My fabulous Sister-in-Law, the very awesome Jordana Lorraine (in case you're ever in LA and need to look fantastic) is coming into town this week. Unfortunately, for reasons I'm not quite clear on, we told our children this last week, so this week I will be hearing "IS SHE COMING TODAY????" despite the fact that I put it on the calendar.
It's gonna be like a week-long "are we there yet", but I'm still excited.
This means that I'll definitely be using my calendar this week to keep the kiddos busy and keep their minds off their impending Auntie visit!!
As always, our calendar is a free resource that you can add to! Include your church/community group events, open plays, classes without subscription requirements, and more! We'd love to hear from you. Also, remember that this list is not complete, it's just a few events we want to feature this week, for no real reason, we just think they look fun. Click "calendar" above to see all the events we know about, or to add your own!
