Mother’s Day 2013.
This family of mine.
In lieu of going out to eat this morning, we walked through our local farmer’s market. Stopped at Starbucks, then walked to Trader Joe’s for champagne and orange juice.
At home, we filled the kiddie pool, and splashed and played for the rest of the morning, before grabbing Chipotle for lunch. Mimosa’s were had.
Everybody napped.
After naps, there was more pool/outside time, a family trip to the park, then more mimosas and Chinese food.
Gifts: Oliver and Ryan worked on a page in our (blank) Mother’s Day book, like they do every year, a new hair brush and a new apron.
Today was such a beautiful day, I’ve been reminiscing about my last few years as a mother. While there are times when life is much more difficult than I’ve anticipated - I wouldn’t change a thing. I only hope that someday these little know how much love I feel for them.

Not to be outdone in the cuteness dept today, Oliver ran around the house saying “Stunna Shades” with a pair of my sunglasses!
April 30, 2013
While I was finishing making Oliver’s lunch today, I left Bina in the middle of Oliver’s bedroom with a few toys. This is what I came back to. Now she doesn’t quite crawl yet, she sort of scoot/crawls/rolls, but somehow she got over to the bed and pulled herself up.
We are in so much trouble.
Working for the Weekend
I’ve been in a rut. I am having a hard time writing much these days outside of Meal Planning Monday (if you can even call that writing) and My Dear Little Ones. It isn’t that we aren’t off having fun adventures, or learning new things, but I just haven’t felt like sharing I guess.
I wouldn’t say I am depressed, but I do think my hormones are finally starting to level out somewhat (or at least I have quit losing my hair, so thats a good thing!) and I’ve been feeling sort of ‘off.’ I am hoping to start another weekly feature soon, and then hopefully get back into writing about everyday stuff again.
