Join us for our day time of Virtual ParentCamp – Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 12pm ET/9 am PT.
It’s definitely cooler outside now and I am enjoying the cardigan weather. I love the different colored reds and oranges all around us. It’s almost time for the end of Daylight Savings Time and don’t forget it’s Fall Backwards, so we go back an hour. The evenings are already getting darker and it’s nearly time for the fun of the end of the month. If you have kids and take part, you know!! I’m not a fan of wandering house to house in the cold but I love the baked potatoes and soups for this season. If you have a favorite recipe, don’t forget to share with me on Mighty Networks.
As always, we use Mighty Networks to safely connect with our parents and community. This space is for you to use to connect and share with our community nationwide and globally.
