Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for this gorgeous day.  I feel like I talk about the weather in every other post, but today was just PERFECT!  And beautiful weather always makes even the toughest days seem better.  Like today for example...the husband was working another 16 hour shift and the baby woke me up at 5:00 am.  I'm not even sure how I'm still up at 11:30 pm with no nap!! (just shows you just how obsessed with my husband I am still...I'm only waiting up to see him, since I haven't seen him since 6:00 am this morning!)  But despite all that, Little M and I had a great day.  She was very happy and smiley, which is always a bonus.  We went to the store first thing, then came home for breakfast.  Afterwards we walked up to my parents' house and we hung out there for a bit.  After lunch I took her to the park (first time I've done that by myself!) and I walked her around the pond for an hour.  It was so nice to be in the sun, get in a decent workout, and I even got some nice color on my arms and face! (don't worry, Little M was wearing her SPF 70+...no color for her!!)  Then we ran out to the store again and picked up an inflatable pool!!  It is going to be 90* tomorrow and I'm very excited to try it out!  Hopefully Little M will top off this great day by sleeping in nice and late.  Keep your fingers crossed!!!

    That sounds like a great day! Playing in the pool when my kids were babies was the best. Enjoy it!
    Love,

    Hi! Here by way of MOMSWEB.

    I remember well the days with a baby. Enjoy every moment, no matter how tired you are. Oh, and nap if you can. Don't get overwhelmed with tasks or chores either. Best advice I got was to do everything in mommy chunks. My daughter is a preschooler now and I'm still applying it with the many unfinished projects on my kitchen counter, but I don't stress.

    Thanks for sharing your journey! Blessings.

    By the way, have you heard of the SPF swimsuits for children?

    I haven't heard about the SPF swimsuits. Where can you get them? And are they a lot more expensive than the regular ones?

Weekend Re-Cap Part I

Image
We had such a busy weekend that I'm going to have to split it until two posts as to not get too long winded! Saturday we woke up bright and early to a sunny, cool, crisp November morning. We got the whole family ready and headed up to my Alumni Weekend at the University in Connecticut I attended. I graduated back in 2005, but haven't been back to the campus since...so I was *very* excited about this weekend! Three of the girls I was really close with were going, so I was really looking forward to seeing them and checking out who else was there. Once we got up there, parked, registered, and joined up with the girls we were ready to party! A big part of Alumni Weekend is to watch the Homecoming football game...however we only made it up to the actual field once...to buy food! haha . We pretty much spent the entire time tailgating in the parking lot with some of the frat boys we had been friends with. It was so much fun to be there with Skip, showing off my Little M, and re...
