We measured the house in the morning to plan furniture changes, with a brief disagreement that eased after open communication.

In the afternoon, we visited IKEA with Hamer, settled on a few items but decided to compare online options before buying. We only purchased two chairs—one for dining, one tiny Barbie chair picked by Hamer.

Exhausted by evening, I was touched when Hamer, still energetic, rewrote a heartfelt message she’d seen online: “To the best mom, Thanks for helping me grow,” planning to gift it lovingly to her mom.

A handmade card features two hearts with messages expressing gratitude to a mom for helping to grow.
