Hey friends! I know, I know. I’ve been MIA for the last week and I’m so sorry to leave you hangin’ like that! I originally planned to take the week off from blogging to enjoy some quality time with Olivia and soak up the end of summer. Again, that was the plan. But as you know, things never go as planned. On Tuesday, Olivia and I woke up with the worst summer colds. Sore throats and runny noses and fevers, oh my!
I know every mom is with me when I say that the only thing worse than having a cold is taking care of a child who also has a cold. Couple that with the fact that Eric had to work late a few nights last week and this mama was near tears! But my own mama came to the rescue with homemade chicken noodle soup and extra hands to help with Olivia. Edited to add: My hubby also came home for lunch one day with matzo ball soup for me (He felt like he needed recognition in this post!). Haha!
Fortunately, we started feeling better just in time for the holiday weekend, which was filled with brunches, birthday parties, bike rides, ice cream, trips to the park, grilling, and swimming. I couldn’t have asked for better quality time with the people I love the most. Here’s our weekend in pictures:
You can tell she wasn’t a fan of the seesaw!
On Saturday, we went to a birthday party and clearly somebody ate too much cake and partied too hard because she passed out in the coupe car.
Even though my “week off” wasn’t exactly the rejuvenating week I had hoped for, I am back and ready to wow you with my blogging prowess! 😉 Stay tuned for lots of new, fun, and pumpkin spiced flavored blog posts! The official start to fall (my very favorite season) is around the corner and I am feeling very inspired.
Have a great short week, loves!
XO,
