My Diary of Us

We spent the second half of our week in the cutest beach town called Hobe Sound. Our friends Meg and Mike live there with their brand new baby, Asher. We fell in love with this sleepy little town when we visited them in February, and could not wait to get back! The laid back vibe was the perfect end to our week in South Florida. We did all of our favorite things with two of our favorite people and just reconfirmed that we wished they lived closer to us.

You know those friends that it's just easy when you visit each other? No one expects too much, everyone can go with the flow, and both you and your spouse like the other couple equally as much? That's how it is with us.

I don't know if I told you yet, but we are moving to Florida!

Ok well not in the near future, but someday we are going to move to Florida...by the ocean where life is simple and good.

Canean is going to have a fishing charter and I am going to blog and sunbathe...well that's how I see it in my head anyway. We decided this out last week while we were on our trip. We had THE best time with the best company and amazing surroundings.

One of my best friends lives in Hobe Sound, Florida. A quiet little beach town about thirty minutes from West Palm Beach. We had not seen each other in two years...two years! It is absurd how busy life gets and how much time can pass so quickly in a blink of an eye.

So needless to say, this trip was way overdue for the both of us. It was also the first time our husbands have really ever spent any time together and it turns out they are two peas in a pod themselves. The trip was just perfect and definitely not long enough!

Some days are harder than others.  They are filled with endless dishes, piles of laundry, constant nose wipes, trying toddlers, an inability to find any sort of patience...the list goes on...I find myself trying to remember “me” before I was a mom.  Did she wash her hair more?  Was her house cleaner?  I know her tummy was tighter and she definitely had more time for herself...time for perfectly balanced meals, at least at hour at the gym every day, and she was probably a better wife too.
_
I wish I could tell my pre-kid self that there is so much more to life than tight tummies and clean houses.  Of course there will be trying days...days you cry...days you wonder if you are cut out for it, (this mom life)... I am here to tell YOU, that you are.  Because in the midst of the impatience and the snotty noses, there will be beautiful moments.  Because while you might see yourself as “only” the dish washer and the pee pee cleaner upper..oh mama you are so much more.  We are the rocks, the comforters, the ultimate snugglers, boo boo fixers, and the ones who make it all okay for our babies who don’t hold it against us for losing our cool, for hiding in the closet, or for not putting on makeup or making it to the gym.
_
Today was a hard one...so I am talking to myself here and to you other mamas who had a hard day too.  We got this.  We love our babies hard, but that doesn’t mean some days we have a hard time seeing the beauty through this stage of life...but I promise it’s there. ❤️

If you made it this far...😘😘🙏

We dyed eggs, on a trash bag on the porch (like classy people do) and went to bed with green nails! Truth is, I live for these moments that become memories...and for documenting the last days of these edible leg and wrist rolls. 💚🐰
