We have T-minus three weeks until Amalia's big Kindergarten debut. I hold back tears daily about this fact while she jumps off the walls with excitement. It's fine. I'm fine (wah).

Whenever we have friends over or go to the beach for a night out, we bring canned cocktails. They're so easy to throw in a cooler, and some of them are really good lately! I'm not a huge spiked seltzer fan (except for High Noon grapefruit) but here are my absolute favorite canned cocktails.

What even counts as a "hack" these days anyway? I don't know if this post counts as a mom hack. Maybe I should have called it "A thing we do that is pretty great" or something to that effect.
I digress...
Weekends with kids can be tough figuring out how to fill two full days with just the right balance of activities versus rest.
