Life Lately

Last week my husband was on vacation, so I wasn't around here much. 

I don't think that's a bad thing because so often I am way too caught up in social media. 

It was nice to take a break from blogging and just live life with worrying about it.

I did blog about Sutton turning Five months old if you want to see her being adorable! ;)

So, what else have we been to this past week?

Lots, for sure! It was definitely a good week for us!

The biggest thing for us last week was starting the #whole30 challenge. I had been reading the book "It Starts with Food." and really felt like it was something I needed to do. No sugar. No dairy. No grains. It's been really good for my husband and I! We spent much of our time grocery shopping + cooking last week. I'll post more about this sometime this week. Maybe even tomorrow! 

We also spent sometime outside. James finished the kids play set and now there's not only a slide, but swings + a telescope + steering wheel for the toddlers to enjoy! We also did something swimming in our pool. Mae was not a fan, but Braden loved it! Also, took a walk in a local park. It was a beautiful day, 72 degree weather and it left me wishing that everyday was so nice. Fresh air always makes everyone feel better! It leaves me so refreshed for sure!

I had some alone time. It wasn't a ton of time, but being able to go into a store completely alone was so nice! It doesn't happen often! I bought some clothes and enjoyed walking around without crying toddlers + a baby. I also napped some and started journaling again.

We hung out as a family. Just really enjoying doing much of nothing. 

We visited with James' parents and my own. 

We dealt with crazy kids who seemed to be extra fussy + crazy last week. 

That was unpleasant and left us feeling crazy much of the time. 

I'm so glad I had my husband to help because I couldn't have done last week alone!

I also went to the dentist and received some crappy news!

My teeth have also caused me issues, but after getting pregnant + having babies, they've been even worse!

There's lots of work to be done and on top of that I have an awful rash that I just want to be healed of. 

That about sums up last week. 

I was sad for it to end because 

I really enjoyed my husband being home + spending time as a family.

It doesn't happen as often as I would like! 

I'm still thankful though! 

And praying that these week is a good one!

What have you been up to?
