Summer Lovin'

Just an update on what we're doing these days!

Summer has finally arived in the PNW and we couldn't be happier about it! We've been at the beach and hitting the parks, visiting family far away and generally making the most of it.

I'm excited to be over at the Early Endeavors site more and more, growing a business that will impact families and bring positive parenting to more people. Just started a series on shifting your parenting paradigm. Come check it out!

Also, on the newsfront, we are expeccting our third baby sometime around Christmas! If you have 3+ kiddos please give me any tips or pointers you've got! Ours will all be about 5 years apart so the spacing is nice (for me) because the older two are very independent and helpful.

What's new in your neck of the woods? I hope the weather is nice yet mild wherever you are!

Weekending - Spring Edition

Ah, the weekend, takes so long to get here and is gone in a flash!

This weekend was kicked off with hunger games and dinner sans little ones

a lazy saturday (we're definitely too old to be staying up past 3am), pizza and catching up with the dvr

a walk and bike ride around the neighborhood to enjoy the sunshine

another row of knitting and pb + chocolate ice cream

wrapped it all up with a clean garage (!) and a mega-trip to goodwill - where things were only donated and nothing bought

basil + tomato pasta for dinner and an early bedtime!

I had such a busy weekend that it didn't feel like a weekend at all! Saturday, I taught a child development class for teachers on partnering with parents that lasted all day. I was able to squeeze in a quick trip to Old Navy and Trader Joe's after but, really, it was a long day.

Sunday I drove about 250 miles to meet with a doula client (not to worry, they are delivering much closer to me). That was 250 miles in rain, snow and hail. I had a harrowing adventure driving 8 miles down their mountain in driving snow that had accummulated to about 4 inches on the road. Have I mentioned that I do not drive in snow? Yeah, I was both completely sure I would die and equally proud of myself for staying alive.

Top off this busy, busy weekend with daylight savings time and you can probably guess how Monday's going! I feel out of it and not quite sure where I need to be and at what time. Gotta love springing forward!

How was your weekend?
