Oh sun. I love you.

Today was muchly needed. After a week I didn't know how to get through, who would have thought going swimming, not one of my favorite things in the world, would be the thing to make me feel better? Well it did the trick. When the bestby suggested we go swimming, I agreed. It sounded fun. I hadn't been all summer and I was running out of time.

But then this morning was a little crazy. Things to get done. Swimsuit didn't fit. You know. All those things. Being me, that was grounds to freak out. When we got to the pool, I just wanted to go back home. But the bestby was patient with me and got me in. Then it was like everything just melted away. Within minutes I was giggling like crazy and we were all smiles. Just playing in the water, laying in the sun. Just what I needed.

I'm thankful for such a patient supportive best friend. A family who loves me and rearranges things so I can have a muchly needed day. A beautiful Friday afternoon by the pool, being able to finally relax. And the sun. It was so amazing to just lay in the sun, warm up, then get back in the pool, then lay in the sun again and relax. Ahhh :) Days like these are the best.

*This good day brought to you by Spf 80 sunscreen applied hourly. Only a small triangle of skin was burnt, making the rest of the day enjoyable as well.*

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
