Yesterday vs 14 months ago! Lil got her braces on Yesterday vs 14 months ago! Lil got her braces on in April 2025 to straighten up those slightly crazy teeth that I accidentally passed down to her 😆 and look at them now!!! Thank you sweet @lcsandifer and the @sandiferorthodontics fam for taking such great care of my girl and her smile! We could not recommend Sandifer Ortho in @highlandvillagejxn any more highly! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Also, if you don’t already know… the dip trio at @eatlapresa (particularly THE SALSA) is basically the best appetizer on any menu in the Jackson area. And the light, crispy, salty tortilla chips that come with… 🤤 Just go try it/them if you haven’t already! 🤩

Our weekly summer bingo is going mostly good over Our weekly summer bingo is going mostly good over here! Week one is complete and week two has begun! I’ve had a handful of questions about exactly what I’m including on these, so figured I’d share if interested!

Each week, the tasks change up a little bit. The kids get paid per bingo. Some squares are silly, some are hard, some require patience, some help me out, and hopefully all will help make the kids more well-rounded individuals! 

I asked the kids what they liked most last week, what they liked least, and what they would like to see on a future bingo card. We are trying to keep things exciting, but some children are better motivated by this than others 🤪

Hope your summer is going great so far!! 🫶 ☀️
