seven years

April 29, 2015      20 Comments

I don’t think we had any idea how our lives would change when, seven years ago today, my water broke and we brought our little man into the world.

He was several weeks early, clearly eager to join our family and get started. And after a bit of a rough start, we were able to bring him home, introduce him to his pugs, and begin as a family of six (if you count the fur babies, which we do).

I can’t believe how much he’s grown since then.

We will share more details from his big day later, but we did have a very small celebration on Sunday. His current favorite thing is Minecraft, so I was able to use some free printables and Etsy finds for decorating.

This morning, he requested a donut with a candle in it, so we took him and his carpool buddy to Dunkin Donuts, and then tonight, he wants “cereal bar” at home (this is when he gets to top his regular, “healthy” cereal with things like Lucky Charms and Froot Loops. And fruit). He has been so incredibly low-key and sweet about everything, and I am so excited to see his reaction when he gets his big surprise gift.

Happy birthday to our little man. We love you to the moon and back.

How do you like to celebrate birthdays?

Are you a cereal person?

    Happy Happy Birthday Little Man! Hope his day has been amazing!

    Good choice on the cereal bar, but I think I’d rather a sundae bar 😉

      I’m with you. I like cereal, but only the boring kinds. I tried a piece of Cap’n Crunch and I immediately wanted to brush my teeth. Sundae Bar? Yes, please!

    Happy birthday buddy!
    I LOVED Cinnamon Toast Crunch before going GF.
    I could accidentally snack on a whole box while watching TV.

      I know! It’s crazy! I mean, it seems to be great for creativity and logic and all that, but could it be any uglier and displeasing to the eye?

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
