Sweet Memories // It's peony season. They work all

Sweet Memories // It's peony season. They work all year for such a short, single blooming season. Somehow I think that makes them even more special.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
My grandmother had the most beautiful row of peonies lining her vegetable garden. I remember sitting on the porch and watching her clip them many times. Each year they'd get heavier and heavier, blooms drooping to the ground. I wish we had thought to split a few after she died and before we sold the house.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
When we bought our own home, peonies were the first flowers I planted. Each year they've gotten bigger and produced more and more blooms. Looks like I'll have close to fifty flowers this year.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
It's things like this that make me wonder what memories Carter and Charlotte will carry into the future with them. I hope they're equally sweet ones.⁣⁠⠀

Live Your Life // Baby girl, I hope you always feel free to be nothing but you. You are spunky and feisty and sweet and sassy and so perfectly funny that my momma heart almost can't handle it. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I hope I survive raising you because it's going to be pretty amazing to see you take on this world.⁣⁠⠀

Live In The Moment // My own mother told me I was

Live In The Moment // My own mother told me I was the “fun mom” today. Coming from someone who was definitely NOT the fun mom herself, it kind of meant a lot.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
It’s difficult to explain how I grew up. My parents weren’t overly strict, but I definitely felt the weight and pressure to live up to very high expectations. There weren’t a lot of spontaneous moments. The entire kitchen would be shut down once a week and blocked with chairs for mopping. Schedules were held tightly. School clothes and play clothes were two totally different wardrobes. That kind of thing.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
So today while the kids were “happy facing” with my parents {FaceTime}, Carter wanted to go outside and show them his new racer. Of course Charlotte wanted to get down and the next thing you know, she’s headed for the deflated pool with a few inches of rain water. Then Carter did too and in a split second we were having a mid-day fully clothed pool party on the patio. It was excellent.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Kids dry. Clothes do too. Sometimes you just live in the moment and worry about the mess later.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Disclaimer: I’m not always the fun mom, of course. I say no, set boundaries, give consequences, all that jazz. But I hope I keep things in perspective and allow the small moments like today to happen often too.⁣⁠⠀

Family Day // We had our first family outing since

Family Day // We had our first family outing since the beginning of March. It was a nice way to end Ryan's week off and our unplanned staycation. Charlotte found a four leaf clover, which I actually noticed before she ate it. We'll take that as a good sign of things to come.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Hidden Valley Orchards is one of our local favorites and they just opened a little ice cream shop this week. We grabbed our order at the window and then ate on a blanket in the orchard.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Carter is clearly a big fan of the cotton candy ice cream. Next time we will cover him in a garbage bag first. I had the peach and it was amazing. Ryan and Charlotte shared chocolate. Eight thumbs up all around.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
It was nice to explore the farm afterward. We walked down to the covered bridge and waterfall. Carter is hoping the goats come back soon. He was also asking why the playground and tractor train were closed. Other than that, it almost felt normal again.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Looking forward to many sunny days ahead.⁣⁠⠀
