We went to Sarasota for Saturday and Sunday. A loved it since the ocean wasn't as rough as the atlantic (it was the gulf). She was able to go out in it and actually swim. C of course loved playing in the sand. The weather was iffy - overcast and rain but we made the best out of it.

We celebrated Mother's Day with my parents and sister yesterday. My sister made the best Moscow mules I have ever had. Now I need to remake them.

She just did a ginger beer, vodka, fresh strawberries and limes and a little mint. Maybe it was the type of beer that made the difference?

She says it completely depends on the ginger beer and gave a run down on different brands. I'm curious which one you had now Pizzaslut!

You can’t go wrong with one of the Reed’s— they have varying levels of gingeryness. There’s also a brand called Q, that is good and extra carbonated. Also, I’ve never had strawberries in a Moscow mule— that sounds really good!

It's going. Trying to be more present at home and all that crap. I'm currently in a food coma. My boss took us out for lunch and I got an awesome mussel pot. Now I'm just sitting in the sun waiting for my train home.

Well I googled and I am pretty sure it was Crabbies's original alcoholic ginger beer. I am now on their website looking at all the recipes.

I’ve been on the road a bunch for work. I’m trying limit my online stuff so I can be more productive. However, Littlest is currently snuggling on the couch with me. He’s home with a fever. He’s saying nothing hurts....

Hi ladies! We just finished booking our hotels and campsites for our road trip. We leave July 1st and we won’t be home until August 3rd! My head is spinning and I’m exhausted just thinking about it all. I’m excited though. We’ll be gone for H’s Birthday on the 4th of July and Worm’s on the 27th. Our next most important thing in the list to do is planning her birthday in Seattle. Any ideas are welcome. 🙃

We've had some staffing changes which means the transition is going a little slow. I should be fully transitioned July 1 so there is end in sight. Littlest peaked up after dinner (and a super nasty poop) so I think it was a fluke fever. Thanks for checking on me!

Just popping in to say hi! Off work again today for an allergist appointment, aka to spend another day with the baby and not have to pump!!! yahoo
E is still going great with the potty. Oh and last night he rode a bike all by himself for like a minute. He's a beast on his balance bike and he knows how to pedal, so DH put him on the neighbor's little regular 2-wheeled bike. I think he got freaked out but he was doing it for a little bit.
Oh, but E is having major problems sleeping this week, I am wondering if it is due to the potty stuff. Did anyone else's LO go through that? The tiniest little thing sends E's sleep into the garbage anyway.
Baby is doing great. She sleeps through the night (until about 6am) at least a couple nights a week, which is amazing (see note above about E's sleep....).
