Dear Kid,

Happy Earth Day Weekend! (Here’s the Absolutely Accurate History of Earth Day in case you’ve forgotten.)

Hope you enjoyed your Mud Run yesterday (certainly one way to celebrate Earth Day is getting some Earth all over you).

Dad and I went to the big Earth Day festival (which has now conveniently moved from Sawyer Park to Blue Ash’s Summit Park—yay!). It was a cold-ish day (ah, April) but we had fun wandering around, visiting the booths, talking to people, and sitting on the big adult swings eating food truck lunch.

Then we bought me sneakers. You’d think (for someone as skilled in the shoe shopping arena as I am) that buy sneakies would be easy. You would be wrong in that assumption. I don’t know why, but I stress about buying sneakers. Maybe it’s because they are more function than form? I’m not sure. But the lovely people at Fleet Feet were kind enough to help find shoes for my decidedly un-fleet feet.

Unless you’ve been thinking about something stupid like eating oatmeal and BBQ potato chips for dinner in which case forget I mentioned it. DearKidLoveMom.comBy the way, today is Take A Chance Day. So if there’s something you’ve been thinking about, today might be the day to move forward. Unless you’ve been thinking about something stupid like eating oatmeal and BBQ potato chips for dinner in which case forget I mentioned it.

Love, Mom
