The husband and I are always on the go. We both work full time, and have the kids, and have hobbies that keep us going at all times. Occasionally when i stop long enough to catch my breath, I will glance across the living room through the pile of my decorative throw pillows that my children are now using as weapons, across the clean laundry that is being launched across the room and see my handsome husband just sitting calmly in the chaos. It is then that I realize, when was the last time we spent some quality time together?? We have three sets of in-laws that come over in shifts that end up being company EVERY weekend and two kids at all times. If we arent entertaining guests we are trying to squeeze in our hobbies while juggling two kids and although we do all this together.... and our "love life" is great ... its not the same as spending quality time together. SO with all that said, we decided that this weekend was going to be a specail weekend where we didnt have any guests ( and unfortunately we did have to tell some grand-parents NO... which i hated) and we were not going to go anywhere. Just us, at home, together. IT. WAS. AMAZING. We spent one whole day watching movies, and playing some games, and just being together. I got up and made a huge breakfast, later made a delicious crock pot dip, and even made my first ever batch of homemade cinnamon rolls. They were all a success! I was pretty happy :) Today we used our last day to play outside with the boys, and do some minor work around the house. I got to take time to reflect on what makes me truly happy.... and as always it was my family. Its the little things like taking time to realize that my one year old waving bye bye is more memorable to me than my graduation, its seeing how smart and silly my four year old is and realizing exactly who he acts like ( momma) and its coming to the realization that my husband's new grey hairs and the way the corner of his eyes crinkle up when he smiles at me is the best damn thing I have ever seen. Such an amazing weekend without one penny spent. I managed to snap some great pictures this weekend as well...Below are a few! Hope everyone has an amazing week, and spends some time with those they love! XoXo.
