happy happy friday! i am certainly feeling festive, but wanted to note a few things that really made my week.
this upcoming week, i have a supplier dinner, wade has a holiday party, and we’re so excited for holiday festivities with friends all of next weekend. i have a ton of christmas shopping to finally finish, for the kids and friends. a few things i’m eyeing are in my links.
hi! another weekend in the books, and i can appropriately say my family is living for the holidays. we love a good excuse for a cookie, and we all are incredibly content snuggling into the blankets on the couch.
the weather is really letting me live my best fall life, and i might feel basic, but i’m living for it. give me all of the cozy sweaters, sneakers, and layers possible. i’m also getting ready for my first 10k since my kids were born, and this is my favorite time to run, so i am loving it all.
i’m ready for fall, and excited to finally start dressing for it. i’ve gone through so many old things and made lots of room for some new exciting things.
So that’s where I’ve been - taking a quiet moment to give myself credit for the past two years, and the chaos of the past six months. I’ve been listening to my body tell me to slow down and focus on one thing at a time, and to be proud of everything I’ve done this year.
we’ve been living our best summer lives, popping into and out of the pool, stalking the ice cream truck, eating all of the pizza, going on long walks and finding all of the coffee.
this week was a bit crazy in preparing for her birthday, and managing our day to day lives. work has been busy, but it’s been exciting to dive back into it and feel out my footing again. adding to the anticipation of maya’s birthday weekend, organizing and planning, i ended up with a tick bite, spending an afternoon at urgent care. this has made me fully lean into my life as a hat lady, using any opportunity to wear my favorite summer hats while i still can.
this week finally felt like a new normal. both babes were back at school all week, we had no travel plans this weekend, a few plans with friends and lots of laying low. it was a dream.
happy happy friday! i cannot believe it’s already friday and another week is done. this was my first full week back to work, albeit part time. i still cannot believe i’m back to work, but it has felt so good. i’ve loved getting dressed, getting organized, putting everyone on a routine, it really is my happy place.
happy friday. another week, another month, almost all gone. it’s amazing how fast i feel like time is flying. the past few weeks have been something special. i am completely wiped, exhausted, but still supremely happy and have been taking in as much time with our fam as is possible.
despite our exhaustion, our overconsumption of coffee, and nightly wine ritual, our family has never felt more us. everyone has fallen into our new place; even on the most manic days, we end the night snuggling on the couch letting maya “read” to us. i couldn’t imagine any moment of the day without bubba, and the fact that he came early meant he just wanted to be with us sooner. i’ll snuggle him for every extra second i have with him.
in better news, we’re loving our little bubble with brendan and maya. baby boy will already be a month old this weekend and it still feels completely surreal to snuggle him. i take none of it for granted and feel so lucky to have him with us and be his mommy.
while this chapter of our lives feels like it came on outside of any plan that we had, we’re finding the joy in starting earlier than we thought, giving ourselves grace as we acclimate, and remaining grateful every day for both of our healthy babes.
with spring quickly inching up on us, and the weather giving us every reason to keep looking forward to it, we took full advantage. since daycare was closed monday, maya and i went had a girls morning with friends, enjoying a picturesque brunch and of course a trip to the playground.
another winter week, a week filled with cookies, valentines, hugs and kisses from maya, puzzling together outfits that make me happy, and snuggling into the couch at night. my best friend’s birthday was this week, reminding me not only how much has changed in, we won’t say how many years, but also how many things haven’t changed.
