The Benefits of Summer Break: Quality Time with Family

My daughter and I’ve been having a terrific summer break full of adventures, but this weekend was extra special. We don’t get to see extended family as often as we’d like, so spending time with them in Washington, DC and exploring the National Museum of African American History and Culture was truly a memorable experience.

There were so many relatives Quinn got to meet for the first time, which put a huge smile on my face and in my heart. Here’s to building more memories with family not only during summer break but year round.

All the best,

Tanya

Celebrating The Philadelphia Zoo’s 150th Anniversary

Since my daughter was a baby, we’ve had a membership to the Philadelphia Zoo. Over a decade later, she still enjoys her time there and was excited to celebrate their 150th anniversary and get some free treats courtesy of Wawa’s Welcome America along with my mom (her nana).

Interestingly, just about all of the animals, including the lions, tiger and bears, were out, active and ready for their close-ups. It’s as though they were put on notice about this major milestone and were all ready to celebrate too.

This was a great way to start off July and to keep the fun going with our summer break activities.

All the best,

Tanya
