January iPhone dump

A look back at our January!

12 years ago I was pregnant with Fox, and I made some of the most amazing moms on a "First time moms of 2014 babies" facebook group. Since then, we have spent countless days together, from playdates, birthday parties, holidays, to camping and trips. These moms have made the biggest impact on my life and I have gained so many incredible friends over the years. It's been such a blessing to watch our kids grow up together! We decided to have a little reunion for some of the kids that hadn't seen each other in a while, and we went to this place called "Activate" where they got to play some games together.
The beginning was a little awkward, they were all nervous, but in the end, they were all fast friends again. 


We took them to dinner afterwards and it was loud, wild, but full of laughter and exactly what my heart needed.

They took some selfies in the room together, unknown to us moms, who got them emailed later on. 

And just for fun, here is a picture of Fox at his first playdate with three of the girls from the above picture. He was two months old at the time!

Brotherly love!

Finn had to be the teacher for one hour, and he had to create a presentation for his classmates and stand up in front of all of them and teach them something. He chose to make his presentation about "how to draw comics".

We practiced and practiced and he did great at home, but he froze in class, being all mic-ed up and kept looking over to me for help. Sweet boy, I felt so nervous for him, because I also hate giving presentations.

This picture should've told me everything I needed to know. I thought he was just tired, but it turned out it was the beginning of a long Flu A week for us.

My friends and I hosted Tilly's baby shower at my house one weekend!








In the middle of the shower, she casually announced to everyone that her and her boyfriend are also going to get married RIGHT NOW. She had told me beforehand, but it was a surprise for everyone!

Mother and daughter! I secretly hope that Fox will marry Harper one day, because she's such an amazing and sweet girl, and obviously I wouldn't mind being related to one of my best friends!

We were all making flower bouquets as our party favors. 

Happy place right here!

I love them all so much!

More Flu A footage!



I hate when they're sick, but I loved all the snuggles. Luckily I didn't get it, because I had to work five days in a row right after I had spent the entire week with them.

Finn helped me juice some oranges from our tree.



My friend Marcela planned to make vision boards for her birthday and we had a great time catching up!
And that wraps up January!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
