GRANDMA AND HER GIRLS

it's been a crazy few weeks (when is it not?) so i haven't gotten around to posting for a bit, but we just had the best visit from my mom, sister and two nieces. they spent a full week with us and the whole trip flew by faster than i could have ever imagined. 

the girls taught hazel all about princesses, dress up, and staying up late to watch movies, and my mom squeezed in as many hugs as possible. we miss them so much already, but so glad they were able to come.

BORN TO WANDER

this past weekend we went camping with some of our favorite adventures for a triple gemini birthday getaway. not gonna lie, we looked forward to this for weeks - possibly months. 

it was the perfect way to spend the long holiday weekend.

HAZEL'S TURN

THE VIEW FROM 34

this year on my birthday i decided to treat myself.

i dropped hazel off at daycare, went on a quick run around the park then headed straight to the beach to relax in the sand by myself. i followed that up with an ice cream cone on the boardwalk and a pedi and BOOM - pretty much the best, most relaxing birthday i've had in a while.

looking good 34. real good.

BIRTHDAY BBQ FOR TWO

we had a little birthday BBQ for me and hazel this weekend. it was a great excuse to get together and kick off summer in the backyard. and eat tons of food, naturally.

YOU KNOW I LOVE PETTING ZOO'S, RIGHT?

a couple weeks ago i got really into researching the possibility of renting baby bunnies and goats in our backyard. so when chris asked what i wanted to do for mother's day, naturally i said i wanted to go to a petting zoo.

it's a win-win. not only is hugging baby goats my go-to happy place, but it turns out toddlers love little animals too.
