We’re currently enjoying our third summer in the Bungalow, and naturally with a four and soon to be two-year-old, the back patio is getting used and abused on a daily basis. Sidewalk chalk, popsicles, bubbles, and every water-involving activity imaginable are on constant loop.
Read MoreOr should I say Preschooler and Toddler? Because that’s how long it’s been since I first drafted this post. Some of you may remember when I introduced this topic (and our soon-to-be arrival) back in 2020. Parents of a not-yet two year old, at the time we…
