Happy Friday friends. I hope it’s been a great week for you. I have been soaking up all the family + beach time. I’ve been on my computer a good bit for behind the scenes work stuff but have mostly taken a pause from blogging this week.
I’m all suited and sunscreened up to take Finn to the beach this morning but I have a few minutes to share some photos from the week while he’s occupied playing with his Mema! 🙂
Finn loves the beach and likes to “jump big waves.” 90% of the time he won’t hold your hand and insists that he can “do it” which requires a lot of hovering and scooping up before he falls down.
Finn also likes playing in the sand. Yesterday morning he was alternating between getting wet in the water and “fall down” in the sand and literally rolling his body in it. He was covered in sand from head to toe.
He’s also all about chasing the birds. He was saying, “Birdies, I’m gonna get you.” Follow by, “they’re flying!” So sweet.
Popsicles.
Post-beach, post-shower snuggle and snack.
Evening PJ walk. Don’t you bring your firetruck and toy broccoli on walks too?
Back at home, these two are doing great!
And that’s all! 🙂 Have a wonderful Friday!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

It’s probably my longest-running content series of all time. I have received countless comments and messages from people over the yeas about how useful they find them [...]

I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]
