It's been pretty quiet here on the blog this past week. I didn't mean to take such a break and actually have a half finished post that was supposed to go up last Thursday, but I never got around to finishing it. I was too busy enjoying some relaxation and time with my family in Arizona. We are actually on the way back home today. It was wonderful time and I just couldn't bring myself to focus on anything blogging or social media related. But I did do quite a few other things like:
1. Watch my daughter take her first jump into the pool and first few strokes on her own (no floatation devices)! She loved every minute in the pool and loved to show off her new skills, even going under water.
2. Find out how much I love anything prickly pear flavored. Candy, gummy bears, taffy, licorice....and I can't wait to try the syrup in drinks or on ice cream once we are home, too! Seriously give it all to me!
3. Eat as many meals as possible outside. I could not get enough of the sun and warm weather.
4. Enjoy time at the Sonoran Desert Museum and see a javelina. My daughter has a few books about the southwest with javelinas and was excited to see them up close!
5. Splurged a little on a new outfit at Lizard Thicket with my mother-in-law.
6. Start to talk about our upcoming trip to Ireland this summer and do some online browsing. I am debating these booties. They are waterproof which would be great to have and they look really comfortable. I will also probably bring some slip ons.
It was a fabulous trip and hopefully we can make it down again next year. There are still so many things to do and see and we all had a wonderful time! Happy Tuesday everyone!
Isn't it great watching your child do things for the first time? So any proud moments to come!

I've actually never been to Arizona! It sounds lovely. Definitely get those booties for Ireland. They're too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your simple outfit this week. It's so realistic - most of us wouldn't wear some of the crazy things we do to work! I know I can always count on your style to be practical and stylish.

Eating outside is one of my favorites and this time of year and mid fall are pretty much the best times here in Texas. We seem to be running around a little too much but maybe a good backyard dinner will be in the works for the weekend. Hope you have a super Thursday Laura. Thanks for linking up with Royally Waiting!
ReplyDeleteI love this classic look in neutral colours. Thank you for linking up :-)
