Mom and I recently walked all the way to Tower Park on a hot, sticky, muggy day. By the time we got home, we were both so sweaty. (And I wasn’t even walking!) She made me drink my water (again). And then she told me about a place on the floor in the living room that can make you feel so warm (especially when you’re wearing a nightgown) when it’s cold, and so cool when you’re sticky and sweaty and hot.
Moms know the best stuff.
