This last weekend I got away with my sisters for some down time. It was wonderful! I’m thankful Steve encourages me to get away–I always feel guilty, although little by little I’m getting better at taking time for me. We mamas need time to laugh and play and talk and rest, right?!
It’s Monday. How about some hellos for a new week?
Hello long shadows and happy hearts.
Hello piling into a tiny cottage at Flying Flags Resort in Buellton. So fun and cozy!
Hello matching blue eyes. We’re definitely twins!
Hello birthstone rings–my gift to each sister.
Hello perfect succulent.
Hello gorgeous sisters and bright paper flowers. It was fiesta days in Santa Barbara.
Hello amazing painter on the street in Santa Barbara. I really wish I’d asked for his name!
Hello cheese and meat tray courtesy of my sister Ellen. Delicious!
Hello wishing it could last forever. Now I’m back home with my boys and getting back into my routine. And that’s really pretty great too!
Hello week full of meetings and to-dos.
Hello taking care of a few things before the boys go back to school–like haircuts and immunizations.
Hello soaking up slow mornings before we get back into the school routine.
Hello trying to comprehend that both of my boys are in middle school this year. Our elementary school days are behind us!
Hello thinking of coffee as I drift off to sleep and waking up with the thought of my first cup. So good.
Hello marveling at how Matthias’ drawing skills are growing!
Hello soaking up David’s smile.
Hello to YOU. It’s a brand new week with beauty to be found. What are you saying hello to this week?
I always feel guilt too when I get out but I also have an encouraging husband;) And also trying to prep for back to school. I always have mixed emotions about it??
My goodness, the family resemblance is strong within you sisters! It looks like you had a wonderful time. Good luck with your middle school years! Time goes by so quickly. Enjoy!
