Carousel Riding + Memory Monday

0

July 16, 2012

On Friday Lily and I went to the local mall just to ride on the Carousel. A little daughter and mama date outside of our usual activities. We got to go on the tea cup and spin around like crazy.

Afterwards we wandered off to the play area and she proceeded to show me her crazy climbing and jumping skills. She sure knows how to scare me and make me proud at the same time.



For my first "Memory Monday" I wanted to go back 3 years and see how different we both look and how much we've both grown. She was only 9 months in that picture and I still felt like a brand new mama. I was still learning about life with a little one and she was still a baby. She was less than a month away from walking, which to me feels so long ago. I can almost remember the way I would dream about the days that she would be able to talk and walk. It's funny how life happens so quickly - I can't believe I'm already here, with a daughter who voices her opinion everyday and who walks as if she were on a runway. 

Date Days

 After moving to Florida we have found it a little harder to go on dates (without Lily). But we have officially gone on two "date days." Which to me is just as great as any date night, spending time with my love (alone) is very important. For a few hours I don't have to share him or "fight" for attention and we can have a conversation without being interrupted.

For our dates we decided to go to the movies (The Avengers and The Amazing Spiderman) - yes his choice but I really did enjoy myself. And can I just say that I definitely liked this version of Spiderman more than the previous ones. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to enjoy "Saturday Pool Day."

Library Love

July 13, 2012



I just wanted to share how much I love the library. Isn't it kind of magical that you can go to a place and borrow books for free and even better now that you can go online and order a book and your local library will have it ready for you. I love libraries and we tend to visit ours pretty often. Although, I sure do miss my local library back in Illinois, they had a pretty nice play place for children. Well I love getting all sorts of new books to read for Lily, not only because she loves new books but to be honest it's also because I kind of get tired of reading the same books all the time. One of my plans for summer is to find a library around here that has a nice play area too.
