We went to my neighborhood playground, walked on a trail by the creek near it, went to the kid's craft at Michael's, picked out anther craft, grabbed lunch, and cane home to eat. M went down for a nap and I painted with my niece, then put laundry in, folded sheets, and changed the bed sheets. I still have to run errands and go grocery shopping after M gets up. I just want to nap π₯

That sounds fun but exhausting, armpants! I hope you are able to get a nap in!

Reason my toddler is crying: it's 90+ degrees out and she wants to go outside but also wants to wear uggs.

Haiii Ladies! Today has been good so far! M's fever was gone this morning (but lots of drool...so...). He slept in and we were a bit lazy. Then we went to check out an auction at a model home for the staging furniture/decor (not my style, but was interesting to see), then drove out to our new neighbourhood while M napped. Came back and went to the chldren's museum and then out for late lunch. Home just watching Finding Dory (by watching M glanced at the TV like twice and and just playing). We are going to Yuk Yuk's tonight, so it should be a fun time . Happy Saturday!

Good afternoon friends. We ended up checking out a local town festival for a bit today. Then we came home and I made some banana bread. Not sure what we have planned for the rest of today.

PSA, slinkys from the Target dollar bins are amazing for entertaining toddlers on airplane trips. You're welcome.

I'm meeting up for breakfast with my friend who is having triplets. This might be the last time we get to go out together for a long time. We are headed to my nieces' second birthday party this afternoon. They are twin girls. We got them each something different. I hope this doesn't upset my SIL.
A new friend invited us over for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it but sometimes I feel awkward making adult friends, and now I can't have a glass of wine to take the edge off. I would welcome different gifts for my kids. They share so much, it's nice for them to have a few things that are just theirs. That, and it adds variety.

Deck is close to being done. Had to stop today because of the threat of storms. We got rain, but that was about it. It should definitely be finished tomorrow. It looks awesome!!

I went for a walk in the neighborhood 2 blocks from us earlier because they were having a neighborhood yard sale. I think I was walking for 1.5 hours (large neighborhood). Didn't buy anything though.

K wanted to help with the deck building today. She kept trying to put a screw on a drill bit. Finally got her back inside and hung out in the AC.

It's been s nice day. Relaxing morning, checking out that turn festival nearby, tried a new band a bread recipe, H made dinner, then when bedtime came H and I watched a movie. The festival was by the beach but no swimming because we didn't bring suits. Got to dip our toes though! Pdq

Totally random thought. But, I've been thinking about how I don't have a lot of photos of myself. I mean there's some but not tons. I'm not necessarily talking about photos with my kids, although this too. I feel like many of my female friends are in the same body. I know it's only July, but, I'm thinking about doing a challenging Jan 1,2018-dec 31, 2018 where I take and post a photo of myself with a large percentage being just of me. A selfie, full body etc. my thought is, we often get so critical of ourselves and so many of us moms, want to give our children a positive self imagine but we often struggle with that ourselves. I thought I could post a photo each day with the hashtag #loveyourself or #imbeautiful....something like that. Is this a stupid idea?

I'm up early because I can't sleep anymore, so I'm working. C is still sleeping...which means I should be sleeping.
H just left for a week long bike ride. I'm flying solo all week. Awesome. I know some of you ladies do this all the time but I'm dreading it.

We are all cuddled in our bed watching Moana. We wore J out so much yesterday at a festival that he transferred from the car to his bed and stayed there until 5:30! ππ»

jedi, I love the idea. My FIL told me that I look like I lost weight and I couldn't take the compliment. Mostly because 1) The number on the scale hasn't changed. 2) I haven't been to the gym in months. 3) I was wearing a top that isn't fitted. 4) I was wearing a push up bra *not that I need it* so I think it made me look thinner. H said maybe my shape has changed. Well, if so, I haven't noticed it and if H has noticed it he hasn't mentioned it. Then I read an article about body image and passing it on to our kids and it hit me in the feels. I am by no means thin or in great physical shape, but that doesn't mean I can't think I am pretty/beautiful.

I am going to out 2 hours in at work before my FIL comes over (hopefully). Then maybe another 2 tonight depending on when the deck is completed and what we do for dinner.

I made my first Instant Pot dish this morning! I did steel cut oats and didn't blow the house up. I think I'll do the fauxtisserie chicken tonight and plan on trying ratatouille (sp?) later in the week.

Pizzaslut, I'm jealous of your night! DS started in his crib for the first time in at least a week but ended up in our bed. DH got him though so I'm not sure what time it was. I did have a nice talk last night at a neighborhood party with a mom that had a really bad sleeper too and it was comforting. (That kid is now 12 but the mom remembers it all like it was yesterday.) It's hard to discuss with people that haven't experienced it. I talk to some friends that have kids that occasionally have a night wake-up and they just don't get it.
