Philosophy

Best video of the year…. LOVE this so much. And LOVE seeing soooooo many grandparents at MoPA. 3 weeks left of FREE GRANDPARENTS — Don’t miss out!! x ❤️

“Until I became a grandparent I didn’t understand the love, and just the emotion…”

Grandparents are free at MoPA this summer (3 weeks to go!!) and it has hands-down been the most beautiful environment in the Museums all summer long. The most special part of this time is that what we’re seeing most is 3-generations — all creating beautiful memories together. Grandparents are just visiting with the kiddlybites — it’s a full family affair. 

Just. Gorgeous. ❤️
