The Mom Memo No. 60: Seize the “Leap” Day
Hey Mama
Get ready to “leap” into a special day! Tomorrow marks the return of Leap Day, a rare occurrence that only happens every four years. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate something truly unique! This extra day in the year is a chance to break the routine and create some special memories with your loved ones. Why not celebrate with a “leaping” good time? Get your hearts racing with a game of hopscotch or leapfrog in the park, channel your inner artist and draw leaping frogs, or even create a Leap Day time capsule to be opened on February 29, 2028. How will you celebrate Leap Day? We want to know!
