I’m so excited to partner with Billy Buckskin Co. (a newly launched brand) to rave about their eco friendly (no harmful chemicals!), wonderfully smelling, amazingly effective, resin rich fatwood firestarters! Over here - my love of fires is known as well as my inability to start them. (It’s a running joke. Really). But this one is mine. It worked! Finally! I did it! I’m so proud 😂. Just 3 sticks, 3 sticks and it worked. It’s a miracle. If I can do it. So can you. Take that s’mores.

I’m so proud of this little boy who jumped into kindergarten and all his “schools” like a champ this year. I miss him during the day but love hearing all about what he’s learning. Love watching him wave and hop off to the bus like a big shot. 🚌🏫🍎 . . . . #myboy #mamasboy #mylittleboy #mylittlebaby #mylittlebabyboy #thisface #hugs #momhugs #longisland #longislandblogger #longislandny #momlife #seeyalater #itssohardtosaygoodbye #separation #kindergarten #kindergartenlife #kindergartener #kindergarteners #kindergartenersofinstagram #instagood #thatsnice #love #morningsnuggles #soproud #soproudofthisboy #longislandkids #kids #kidsofinsta #school
