The Perfectly Imperfect Mom

“…upon walking into the building, I’m informed that it’s picture day and,
of course, I’ve forgotten all about it. Why do one-year-olds need a
picture day anyway? My son is wearing a too large baseball t-shirt with remnants of his
breakfast smeared all across the neckline and down the left sleeve.
Somehow he managed to kick off one of his shoes in the car and I can’t
for the life of me find it.”
“…the two ladies in charge of taking the photos just stare at me. They give me a look that’s half pity and half understanding with a little bit of judgment thrown in for good measure. I plop my son down in front of their camera and tell them it better be a picture to remember. I can’t wait to see it! It might even make our Christmas card…..”

    So cute! I get that look too often my son hates shoes & socks so he is bare foot a lot of the time when we get out of the car, that car is just as bad as the washer & dryer.

I thought summer mornings would be slow and easy…and sometimes they are…but not when you have to get three kids to summer camp by 9am! That’s why I love @go_caribou Drivers who refinance through Caribou save an average of over $100 per month on their car payment…which means extra money to spend on all of our summer fun ☀️
 
With Caribou you could get access to lower rates that could save you thousands over the life of your loan. There are no hidden fees, no impact to your credit score, and no SSN required! Cheers to more freedom this summer, even if it means you spend a lot of that time in your car! #sponsored
