A Week Late

I may need my blogger card revoked. So much has been going on, and I have barely taken any photos. I'm still pretty burnt out, and have been creating content but it's been for work campaigns and my freelance gig. Just not much new content for around these parts. Creating content is so rewarding and fun, and I still pinch myself that I've turned it into my career. But this momma is SO looking forward to a little vacation this week. We've been self-isolating at home, and checking off all the boxes for the health visas we will need in order to travel. It'll be our first flight and international travel since the virus that shall not be named began. And I haven't been playing around. Even though my friends are fully vaccinated, I turned down a girl's brunch on National Mimosa Day. Who am I?! I took a raincheck, and said we will most certainly meet for bubbles after I'm back. 

I plan on doing a full re-cap including safety precautions, and the extra precautions we took as a family to be even more viligant. Just like on Friends - there's clean and then there's Monica clean! Any guesses on where we are headed? One hint - Lil' Miss will be living her best life. 

I'm also a week late recapping a quiet Mother's Day spent poolside at home. I'm not the biggest fan of Hallmark holidays, and don't really celebrate Valentine's Day (other than making a big deal for Lil' Miss) and don't want anything for Mother's Day other than to relax with mom-osas in the pool. And boy did I need it. It was the first day I didn't open my work computer in who knows how long. It felt ah-mazing! Breakfast on the patio, the whole afternoon spent in the pool, and FaceTiming with our moms up in Connecticut equaled the perfect day. I was fully re-charged and ready to take on Monday!

Jump Around

Jump up jump up and get down! You're welcome... for putting those lyrics in your head. I mentioned on Monday, that I'm in burnout mode and very much looking forward to a quick getaway with my little family later this month. Even with working from home this past year (which I am still SO thankful for), we have been busier than ever. We both seem to be starting earlier, and signing off later with constantly checking in at night and the weekends. It's time for a much needed break, and whether you're sitting in the car for a while or on a plane - comfort is SO important! I will never understand people who travel in jeans! Seriously.

I had this jumpsuit on my wish list for over a year, and decided to finally scoop it up. I thought it would be perfect for traveling or even lounging around at home. And let's be honest, I've been literally living in loungewear or pj's since March of last year. It's nice when I actually head out somewhere and put on real clothes, but it's even nicer to come back home and hop right back into the comfy pieces. Oh and it has POCKETS!

I loved the jogger detailing at the bottom which gives it more definition, and if you're not into the whole off-the-shoulder look it can definitely be worn centered with both sleeves resting on your shoulders.

Tiered Lace and Relaxation

A relaxing weekend was just what I needed after several weeks of non-stop craziness. I am officially burnt out, and SO looking forward to a much needed little getaway with my family later this month. I'm emotionally, physically, and mentally fried. I am one of millions of Americans who is totally guilty of working well over 40 hours a week, plus I have a freelance gig, this blog, and try to balance it all with being a good momma, wife, sister, daughter, friend, etc.. We definitely can't do it all, and taking time for yourself is so so so important. Our bodies are not meant to be ON constantly. 

Other than a quick workout, and some laundry we relaxed in the pool and went to dinner and out for ice cream after. I broke out this pretty tiered lace top that Lil' Miss said "Wooooowww" to, and we enjoyed a quiet early bird dinner. I kid you not... we were there around 4:00 and ready to E A T.

It wouldn't be a family dinner without my favorite little photo bomber! I picked up her adorable colorblock dress for our upcoming little vacation, and she insisted on wearing it to dinner. I'm just super thankful she didn't spill anything on it - ha!

We also finally hung up a curtain rod in the home office with some colorful translucent curtains to keep the natural light coming in. Every time I walk in, I'm amazed at how much more complete it looks. It only took over a year of working from home to finish the space.

And can we talk about my new spring and summer beverage of choice? I packed some Michelob Ultra Organic Seltzers for the beach last weekend, and enjoyed another by the pool. It's everything I've looked for in a hard seltzer - organic, flavorful, and low cal. My favorite is the Peach-Pear with the Spicy Pineapple as a close second. YUM!
