:: Weekend Lovelies ::
Hello, friends! I hope that you all have had a fantastic week! What do you have going on this weekend?
So, our family just returned from a trip to Arizona to visit close friends and family! We truly had the BEST vacation! One of the highlights was visiting the Phoenix Children’s Museum {pictured above}. We had been there just once before… four years ago. It was just as fun the second time around! I highly recommend going, if you’re in the area! In fact, we always research children’s museums whenever we are in a new city! It’s such a great way to explore, in a kid-friendly way, when you’re traveling this summer!
Last week was also my son, Seth’s, 8th birthday, and Nicole’s birthday {which is why we decided to take a week off from blogging to enjoy some family time}! Usually I do a birthday post for my kids, but we’ve been so busy since returning with dance recitals and the runaround, that I haven’t had a chance to delve into all of my photos from the last year. I’m hoping to do a post about our ‘life lately’ sometime next week with updated photos of the kids and of our recent trip!
I also wanted to take a moment to talk about my sweet friend, and co-author, Nicole {since I didn’t have a chance to last week on her birthday}! I have been so blessed simply knowing her over the past 18 years. Many of you may know that we met in college, at Long Beach State, and were also Delta Gamma sorority sisters! Nicole has always been the most loyal and caring friend! I am so incredibly thankful to have her in my life as a lifelong friend, but also as my partner with this lovely blog! I really couldn’t manage without her! So… Miss Nicole, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I hope that you had a great time celebrating! I love you so much!
