A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Aug 20–26
|
| Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity has finally broken just in time for us to spend the next five days oscillating between playgrounds and wondering if the river breeze is actually helping or just blowing more trash into the sandbox. We are officially in that late-August stretch where the kids are bored, the sun sets a little earlier, and my tolerance for sticky hands has hit a seasonal low. |
