It is definitely “Maycember”…the crazy month of May that is just as (if not more) hectic feeling than the month of December. Recitals, class parties, church picnics, concerts, swim team, etc. It’s enough to make a mama crazy. If you have room in your schedule this week, there are lots of fun things happening around town.
