Working full time with littles has been the BEST thing I’ve done since I’ve become a Mom, and also the most exhausting! I don’t get to go on all the field trips anymore, and so grateful to have gone to this one!

is ALL heart. ON her sleeve. 24/7. And I just LOVE her with every thing I am! Even at 4am when she is asking if she was born yet, and if she is older yet, or if it’s time for school, church, belt testing and/or whatever her anxious little heart is feeling!

Happy happy birthday my dear sweet Mari girl!

Such a special trip for just me and my double digit girl!

This was our second Disney race together…last year’s Avengers 5k and now this year’s Captain America 5k. Joined with our sweet friends!

She rode all her favorites and then some: Hyperspace, Buzz, Tower of Terror After Dark, Luigi’s, Screamin, Soarin….so much more! We enjoyed the amazing meal at Cathay Circle and did the Frozen musical package, WOW! Seeing that show in the middle of the orchestra was the best!

Then, Sunday, some friends and I ran the HALF!

Next up, her sister’s turn to go with me for the Star Wars light side weekend races!

Celebrating with my one and only in beautiful Carmel! Last spring, Brian took a Food and Wine tour with his team, and after Disneyworld, we were looking forward to a quiet celebration. Perfect weekend away in Carmel, with a 3.4 mile walk and some amazing fresh and creative dishes with wine pairings!

I started running September of 2012. I ran my first half marathon in October of 2014. Since then, I have run a total of 6 half marathons, and this one right here in Santa Rosa, I am the most proud of since I ran it SOLO!!

With the help of a very dear friend, who planned it all for us, including making us some amazing dining reservations….this was the absolute BEST family of four vaca yet!!

The conversations, laughter, and tears during those sweet meals were such amazing two hour bits of time for us! To soak in all that we saw and were doing…to simply sit and relive it was the best! Animal Kingdom our favorite park, followed closely by Magic Kingdom and Epcot……and their amazing water parks! Someday we will be back!

Thank you for all the magic and then some, Disney!
