Weird question for parents—have you ever dreamt about your kid being older? And if you have and they’re now the age they were when you dreamt about them—was it at all accurate? 👀

Did anyone else bite the metal bit of their pencil to get more eraser or was that just me…
Right, do I need to get off squarespace or is this a normal yearly price wtf 😭 When I first got it was like 45 or something—this year it was $128 and next year it’ll be almost double.

Her dad’s been teaching her to tidy and well…it’s kind of working. 😅
