Afternoon Delight

-
On this Lazy Sunday, before I head back to work tomorrow, 
I wanted to make special note of my favorite day of vacation!


Colleen and I spent our ENTIRE vacation trying to get together.  There were MANY failed attempts and ONE beautiful afternoon finally able to be spent together.  We not only got Lucy and Colin together, but Kristen was home from Houston (my heart felt whole again!), and Alissa was home from Philly for an extended stay!  This afternoon together was the best Christmas present I could have asked for!
   

All afternoon I felt very happy, very at peace, very warm and fuzzy. My best friends all in one place!
Times have changed, the conversations no longer center around boys... They center around homes and babies and fun things we saw on pinterest!  But these are girls I have known my ENTIRE life.  It doesn't matter that two of them live in other states, it doesn't matter that sometimes we can't all be in the same room all the time.  When we are together, it's like we never left each other!  Those few hours will fuel me for months.  I took only one picture (of the kids of course), and instead stuck like glue to my friends sides, soaking up every bit of their souls that I could.  


There's nothing like your girlfriends. Nothing at all.  
Until next time...  






We forgot to take a group pic this year..... soooo here's Lucy and Colin enjoying a super healthy treat of Donutssssssssssssss!  

Does it get any better!

    😊 happy you all were together. I still remember you girls coming to me asking if Kristen your softball friend could join our troop. I guess the rest is history...

Mom...The Potty Flipped Over

Just when you think you've got it all together.... Your son comes to tell you that there is poop on the floor.  So even though he's been potty trained for a nearly a year and ASKS for privacy when he goes, there are still mishaps.  Like, well this: He was such an easy kid to potty train...a few skittles here, a few there and BAM, bye bye diapers.  Yet, he has his quirks.  For instance, I am not sure why his own private potty ended up getting flipped over, but I do know that he was in there building a fortress with toilet paper.  It's what he does - I don't know, I tend to think it's creative and not destructive. I think my mistake was loading up the shelf with fresh new rolls (I did that at 7am).  It was all just too exciting for him. And so even though this was the first day in history that both children slept until 8am allowing me to deep clean the bathroom (again at 7am) I was right back at it at 11am. Please remind me of this as I have a full-blow

A few years ago I heard the phrase "self-care".  In fact, it was a doctor who looked me square in the face and asked me "what do you do for self-care?" I had (no joke) NEVER heard this phrase before.  NEVER.  It must have shown on my face, but she didn't even flinch and went on to ask what I did for myself.  Like without guilt to take care of myself.  I thought for a minute and listed off things like sleeping in once a week, morning showers, taking the long way home from work while listening to murder podcasts (the usual??) These apparently are not things that count as self-care.  (I mean I guess they are a little bit, but she wanted to examples of what I was doing to better my self-worth and happiness).  Even now that school started, I can't think of much -- actually,  sometimes I leave work early and eat my yogurt in my car and listen to my murder podcast for an extra 15 minutes. I find that recently there has even been a push for self-care in the

Guest Post:  Alicia is a friend from high school who is a full-time working mom of one adorable boy, Cooper.  She's also building a make-up empire and blowing up Facebook with wildly entertaining videos and tutorials.  She makes everything look easy, which is why this blog is just that much more important.  Thanks for sharing Alicia. I was asked to write something MONTHS ago, and I promise, the commitment to put my thoughts on paper has never left my mind.  I’m embarrassed it took me this long.  But to be honest, I couldn’t get myself to write down my story, because if I did, it would somehow make my failures more real.  (Sure, I know we’re always the hardest on ourselves, and I know I’m not a failure, but the thoughts, “could I have done better…can I DO better?” constantly run through my mind.) Let me step back for a second.  It took my husband and I well over a year to get pregnant with Cooper.  Two heartbreaking miscarriages, low progesterone and a blood-clotting diso
