Does the idea of all your kids out of diapers and old enough to wheel their own luggage excite you, or does it fill you with grief? In her latest, Samm Burnham Davidson works through her feelings about the approaching end of her time in the baby-and-toddler trenches.

I hope your weekend brings nothing but blue skies and playground-friendly temperatures!
