What are you doing this summer?

“One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.” 
― Henry David Thoreau


Luckily for us, summer is around the corner. Hopefully, MOPS has provided a bit of sunshine through the gray, sometimes long, winter, and the many transitions and stages of motherhood.
