Girls Trip

Oh my heart...looking back at these pictures are giving me all the happy feels. We started our annual girl's trip for my 40th birthday, and have been going strong ever since. I had been in a very dark place emotionally for the past few months, and honestly didn't even feel like going anymore, didn't want to be around people, and just stay in the dark hole I had buried myself in. I figured, if anything, it will give me a chance to relax, read my book, and I knew no one would even blink an eye, if I needed alone time during the trip, but I couldn't have been more wrong about the weekend that was about to unfold. I hardly drink, maybe five times a year at most, but my dear friend Becky and I started the weekend with some drinks on the beautiful patio of the home we had rented in Prescott, Arizona. She is my ride or die, and I'm so grateful for her. It was a smaller group than usual, and while I initially was a little worried about it, it ended up being the perfect grou...

Easter

I worked on Easter Sunday, but the boys and I had fun celebrating the weekend after, and it ended up being a perfect day with them. We started out by them looking for their hidden baskets, and exploring them, followed by the egg hunt. I couldn't believe how fast Finn has gotten over the years, check out his basket! I used to have to remind Fox to give Finn a chance, but maybe the roles have reversed now! I filled most of the eggs with little ducks, money and some chocolate, and Finn absolutely LOVED the ducks, since he has been collecting them for a while. Fox was so sweet to share a lot of his ducks with Finn, he seriously has the kindest soul. They both told me how much fun they had, and how much they appreciated me doing this for them, when in reality, I am so incredibly grateful for them and that they still enjoy doing these things every year.

Egg Smash

Our annual egg smash, and this year, even my big kid participated! Shocker! All ready to go! It got messy really quick with this stinker! He made such a beautiful canvas, and then he decided to smear it all together. When I told him that I think it would ruin his picture, he quickly reminded me, that this is HIS artwork, not mine. Well played kid, well played. It was a quick and fun activity and I'm happy both boys enjoyed it, and I added some more beautiful art to my collection from over the years!

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...
