Mommy Musings

Oh hey! How's it going. I have this routine of blogging every day for a week, then none at all.  Let's see if I can find a better balance. Let's see if I can catch you up on the last month: So my foot still hurts. The fall I took on Christmas Eve is really taking it's time getting better. After an MRI and trip to my Dr, I learned it's a lisfrac sprain. Great that nothing was torn, but this is one of the worst sprains to have. Looking at around 6-8 weeks for recovery. And that's not until I can run, just walk without a brace probably. For someone who averaged 20 miles a week at least, it's a bit of a blow. But I'm trying to move on from crying about it. I'm finally able to do some pilates workouts, so that's something. Pre-MRI selfie...cause why not We celebrated Skip's birthday.  Low-key with just dinner out with the girls and an at-home movie, but it was nice to spoil my man for the day. Christmas break was spent with me sitting on the couch...

I'm so far behind on things I want to blog about, but all I can manage today is a few pictures of my sweet girls. A few weeks ago, we got Emmy's school picture sent home.  It was absolutely adorable as always. If you'll notice, we did not get one for Charlie.  Apparently she's very particular about who takes her picture, and wanted nothing to dow with it at school. I was a little sad to not have her sweet little face captured, so instead, I snapped a few pictures this morning.  First we got a few outtakes: But then she warmed up and I got a few keepers! Couldn't leave out big sis... And I absolutely love these ones!

Sigh, it's September...which apparently I wouldn't have known yesterday except for all the amazing people posting about it on social media.  Am since when did fall become the 'it' season?  Is that what happens when you get older?  Is it immature to get excited about summer?  Not that I care..I will be a summer girl forever.  I just seem to be the only one this days. Anyways, now that I'm done with that rant...I'm hoping to get in a few posts this week recapping our summer.  It truly has been one of the best of my life.  The weather was hot and dry, and we took advantage of every moment.  We had our fair share of lazy days, and also got a lot done.  We've been to the pool, the beach, carnivals, and pretty much every park within a 20 mile radius.  Here's a photo dump of some of what we've been up to. So you can have you PSL's, boots, and scarves.  I'll be here rocking my bikini and cut off shorts for as long as possible.  The gir...

Hey, remember when I used to blog consistently over here?  Yeah, me either.  I want to, and I could find the time if I really wanted, but I've just been giving attention to other things recently.  But I love being able to look back at this time in our lives, so I'm going to make a more conscious effort to pop in here more. I'm afraid to say it out loud for fear it'll change, but this summer has been one of the best of my life.  Now that the girls are older, I feel like we can do so much more than we have in the past.  It has been nice and hot {except this morning, which feels like fall and makes me shutter just thinking about the winter} I absolutely love having the membership to the town pool.  We are doing something fun with the girls every day, playgrounds, playdates, running around the backyard with a neighborhood friend, exploring in the woods, and trips to the library when it rains.  There's also been pool parties, lemonade stands, and farmers ma...
